Thanks.

P.S. I'm not a colonoscopy person, just asking out of curiosity because I think it's interesting. I read the book, "Should I Be Tested For Cancer?" Maybe Not and Here's Why.
I would think of your colonscopy day as a day of fasting and ridding the body of toxins. Most people are so hungry they will go to first restaurant and order something huge. You could start on probiotics, try to introduce foods back into your body gently and watch for reactions. May be a good time to see if you are allergic to any particular food.
