HI, folks. I am having a colonoscopy in 2 days, so start the prep later today. The posting by JillSkilar was terrific. I have a couple of quesitons, though, about what to drink during the fasting time. She mentions alcohol and carbonated beverages like Canada Dry. But are they okay for IBS-ers, since usually we avoid them?? By Italian ice I assume seh means sorbet, as long as it is dairy-free and not coloured with red or purple dyes? I was told to have only clear Gatorade, but not why, and I guess it's because of the dyes? In fact, I got strawberry and watermelon flavoured because they have little colour to speak of, and say they have no dyes in them, but I'm wondering if it's okay to get the "coloured" ones as long as they don't have the red and purple??
I'm nervous about this, but it helped to read others' experiences from the board. Thanks for all of your sharing. Wish me luck!
