Can I Have A Colonoscopy Tomorrow After Having A Boiled Egg This Morning?
I have a question: I am having a colonoscopy tomorrow morning at 9:30. I read my instructions wrong. the instructions say only clear liquids the day before the procedure. I had a boiled egg and a piece of toast and coffee at 8:30 this morning. Can I still have my procedure tomorrow morning?

Hello and welcome to HCM,
According to the instructions, no solid food should be taken one day before colonoscopy.
However, of you have taken some solid food stuffs, just don't take any other solid food further.
You can go to your doctors office the next day and get colonoscopy done.
Thanks and take care
