Low Fibre Diet

 

To prepare for a successful colonoscopy, it is important that you follow a simple process to ensure that your bowel is clean. Poor preparation can result in the doctor not being able to examine your bowel properly and the procedure may need to be rescheduled for another day.

You must follow a low fibre diet for three days prior to your procedure. Fibre supplements must be stopped at the time the low fibre diet is commenced.

You also must cease iron and turmeric tablets ten days prior to colonoscopy and multivitamins, and fish/krill oil supplements five days prior.
