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/

1. I urge my colleagues to look at their preparation instructions and to consider catching up with the evidence. We can advise patients that the diet on the day before a colonoscopy may include the following foods: cheese, eggs, milk, white bread, olive oil, butter, beef, chicken, fish, white rice, vanilla ice cream, and plain yogurt. They must avoid the following: popcorn, seeds, nuts, corn, multigrain bread, salad, raw and dried fruits, berries, kiwi, broccoli, cauliflower, Brussels sprouts, and cabbage. These instructions may take longer to outline than a clear liquid diet, but they will allow our patients to prepare for a colonoscopy in a way that is practical, humane and effective. It is time to follow the science and let our patients eat.

  The evidence is clear: A liquid-only diet before a colonoscopy is unnecessary
  from Torie Bosch
  The pre-colonoscopy liquid diet is unnecessary and harder on the patient.
