What's your post-colonoscopy meal?
I always get a pizza but my father-in-law swears by pancakes. What do you eat after you get your colonoscopy done?
Hi Eshani! We received a lot of responses to this question on Facebook. Our community members said....
Whatever I want as a reward to myself! But I avoid sharp pointy food
I like a good toasted bagel with egg and cheese
Scrambled eggs & toast
Pasta
Gluten free blueberry pancakes!
Biscuits and gravy, hashbrowns, and ham.
Chow mein and ham fried rice
Sleep sleep and maybe an old fashioned plain donut
Pancakes or scrambled eggs

Back in the days when I used to eat more meat, I always woke from colonoscopies craving a greasy cheeseburger. Today, I avoid red meat, so my cravings vary. I'll tell you what I DON'T crave: I don't crave broth or Jell-O! Ha Ha! I get so sick of that when I'm prepping for a colonoscopy, which I'll be doing here in a few weeks. Yay, me. (Sarcasm.) Thanks for posing the question! --Traci, UC-IBD Team Member Thank you so much! I appreciated the positive vibes for my colonoscopy. 😀 --Traci, UC-IBD Team Member Always here to support!

18oz of just clear chicken broth.
I stay hydrated and get nurish-ment my body needs & can digest very easily! 😋This sounds very responsible and smart to do after a colonoscopy. I applaud you. -Elizabeth (team member)
