tinydancer60 Posted June 3, 2016 Share Posted June 3, 2016 I have to have a colonoscopy on my 26th day of whole30. I have to do the prep the day before. Does anyone know who this will affect my program? Is there sugar in the prep? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Moderators SugarcubeOD Posted June 3, 2016 Moderators Share Posted June 3, 2016 I've moved this to Medical Conditions as a better fit than Forum Feedback. You would need to ask the medical staff if there is sugar, we would have no ability to know. As far as how it will affect you, I would definitely delay reintroductions for a week at least after the colonscopy... even a couple weeks... the idea of the 'prep' is to clean out the area... that removes all good and bad bacteria and can cause gastrointestinal issues as a side effect... I would not want to reintroduce anything to see how it affected me when I didn't know if it was the ice cream or the prep fall out that caused issues if there are any...

tinydancer60 Posted June 3, 2016 Author Share Posted June 3, 2016 Thanks! I'll check with the medical staff. I was thinking about delaying the reintroduction for a couple of weeks anyway so I definitely will. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Moderators Tom Denham Posted June 4, 2016 Moderators Share Posted June 4, 2016 The crap they ask you to drink before a colonoscopy is going to change your gut significantly. You could say you technically you completed a Whole30 because you would be following doctor's orders, but you would not have as good an experience as you would without the prep, etc. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
