I have to have a colonoscopy and they tell me and my directions that I have to eat a low residue diet for 2 days and then liquid only for the last day before the test. I am struggling with this because I have to eat white bread white rice white chicken, etc and none of the good stuff that I’ve been eating that has allowed me to lose weight and inches. How can I put this three day diet to good use and not derail the progress I have already made. Help!
Hi, Ziggy. I would recommend to avoid the white/refined grain products, and focus on the nutrient-rich, hormone-balancing fare like the chicken, as well as eggs, seafood, and good fat foods like olives, avocado, and their oils (but no nuts), plus low-residue produce (see below):
Vegetables – vegetable juice without pulp; the following cooked vegetables: yellow squash (without seeds), green beans, wax beans, spinach, pumpkin, eggplant, potatoes without skin, asparagus, beets, carrots; tomato sauce and paste vegetable juices with pulp, raw vegetables, cooked vegetables not on the Recommend list
Fruits – fruit juices without pulp, canned fruit except pineapple, ripe bananas, melons, peeled and cooked apples, orange and grapefruit without the membrane.
