Daughter (teenager) has a colonoscopy for suspected ulcerative colitis this week. Any suggestions for clear food/drink to make taking moviprep more tolerable?

I found that keeping the jug of prep in the freezer so it was really cold made it a lot easier to drink.

Were you given a list of food that can be eaten? It will be mostly very low fibre and white foods. Drinks can be anything as long as there are clear, Sprite, lemonade etc. Nothing at all with red in it!
Make up the prep and keep it cold, drink through a straw and if she can, as quick as possible as it is vile!

Make sure you have something like sudecrem and soft toilet wipes.

Good luck. My son has crohns, so been through this many times.
