What if instead of following a liquids only diet the day before a colonoscopy, you could eat rice, fish, plain yogurt and much more?
Turns out you can:
"A low-residue diet, one that is heavy on starch and protein and free of vegetables, is just as effective, and much less difficult to endure, than a diet restricted to clear liquids all day. (I have seen corn and seeds many times during a colonoscopy, but I have never seen a piece of chicken!)
A pre-colonoscopy diet that includes solid foods is safe and effective, and there are abundant data to prove it."
