I'm getting my first colonoscopy on Monday (that goes in the baby book, I assume?), and the dietary restrictions get *really* stringent the day beforehand: an all-clear-liquid diet.
This STAT opinion piece, published yesterday, argues effectively that research does not support this need, and that this overly-restrictive diet is an obstacle to people getting colonoscopies. https://www.statnews.com/2024/03/19/colonoscopy-preparation-liquid-only-diet-data-gastroenterologists/
