I am having an Endoscopy next Wed and started the low fibre diet today one has to have four days prior .
Can anyone tell me what they ate apart from the stuff stated in the info.which the hospital gave me.
Only white meat,fish and potaI toes is sooo boring!!!
Thank You
I've had lots and they are fine. It is very dignified considering, and way less stressful than a smear. You lie on your side with your knees bent, and they give you some sedation. You feel nice and woozy and they put the camera in- I didn't even feel it. I watched it on the TV screen cos it was fascinating, but you don't have to! They take tiny biopsies as they go round,...
yes,Bazile,that is the part I am NOT looking forward to,luckily my appointment is 08.00am..and start drinking at 17.00 pm the eve before.It is orange tasting so might not be too bhe running to the loo all the time will be...ugh!!!!
You have my sympathy, I have been for a sigmoidoscopy twice now. That only entailed having the diet for 2 days each time and that was bad enough. I did stick to the food on the sheet from the hospital though, I was too frightened by the bit that said 'if I was not completely empty I would have to go through it all again'
I had one once; he stuck it up my nostril and made me gag as it reached my throat. I don't recall any special food limitations beforehand. (Found some evidence of acid reflux problems, gave me a prescription for tablets. Unconvinced it cured the issue but it hasn't been quite so bad since.)
