If your doctor recommends a colonoscopy, don’t drink orange or red liquids
If you like your orange juice in the morning or your red-colored electrolyte drink after a good workout, then make sure you don’t drink ’em before you go to a colonoscopy! According to Dr. Ashkan Farhadi, there are different preparations for a patient, depending on the type of needed colonoscopy.
Dr. Farhadi recommends a whole day of a liquid diet for everyone. Even so, these types of preparations that help clear your bowel mean that what you drink and eat is absorbed differently, because it’s faster. If you drink red or orange liquid, it might end up looking red or orange in the colon as well, and it can be confused for blood.
