1. Diet choice A

few days before preparation for colonoscopy, you should choose a diet that is easy to digest, less residue and less oil, such as porridge, noodles, etc. Avoid eating foods rich in crude fiber, such as vegetables, fruits, etc., so as not to affect intestinal cleanliness.

2. Diet amount

3-4 days before colonoscopy, start eating a small amount, only eat a half-flow diet, such as noodles, rice porridge, egg soup, etc., to reduce the number of defecations.
