colonoscopy on wednesday

[strawberrydream]

I am reading the do's and donts for tomorrow. i have to take the picolax first thing. it says i can eat clear soup, now sorry if i appear thick but is tomato soup ok? most soups have meat & veg in surely these are not clear. it says i can eat 1 boiled egg i piece toast and other than that it has to be clear soup. any suggestions?

no...have some chicken broth ....must be a consomme type thing...can get beef consomme, tinned, in asda and tesco, baxters do one......can;t have anything that is going to stick in the bowel or colour it ! big no to tomato !

ok thanks. im off to tesco to get some. i will be housebound tomorrow.

ok...well, more time for mumsnet then !!

any clear soup is fine...xxxx

Lulu - Do you know if it is ok to take my Cipralex tablet. I haven't taken it this morning because of the constant visits to the loo after the picolax. I thought it prob won't work anyway.

not sure, i would call the hospital and check re taking any meds....can;t remember what i did! are you ok?

Yes thanks. been to the loo about 6 times already and i have to take another picolax at 4pm. only soup for lunch & tea .
I will give the hospital a ring and ask about the cipralex. thanks.

hope you are ok and all will go well tomorrow x

I'll starve eating chicken/turkey for 2. 1/2 days..
Any other suggestions please..Says everything clear /white ….Does Vodka count lol..
