Post-scope diet?

[Deann]

Hi,
OK one more question here. I have messaged my doctor to ask this question too. I made a few mistakes on getting home from the scope this time. Do not eat cottage cheese is the main thing. After that, I have switched to simply having sliced turkey (never mind the ‘deli alert’ I heard about prior to Thanksgiving), soup, and mashed potato. I’m just not sure if one is supposed to omit fruits and veggies and salads for a while or if one can resume any kind of thing. I never eat cottage cheese anyway - it was just for convenience that I got it. Normally I eat a lot of yogurt and feel just fine so I’ll try that eventually.
If anyone has any tips on this let me know.
Meanwhile I’ll see what my dr says.
The other thing is that I’m remarkably dehydrated afterwards and feel weird because of that. I just downed almost one liter of water and might add some Gatorade too even though I haven’t even had breakfast yet. So, I’m asking the dr for any other ideas as well.

I was never told anything specific about post diet. Of course I’ve never had a polyp removed from my colon, so it might be different. I have had polyps removed from endoscope and was told to eat soft foods for at least a week.

Hi Deann -

I would be very interested in knowing whether your doctor has anything useful to say on the matter. I'm mainly interested in evidence-based advice that has some published research to back up the recommendations.

After you have talked with your doctor about this. I would appreciate knowing what kind of advice you got, and what you thought of it.

Thanks a lot.

So far, my PCP answered this by saying bland foods and omit fruits and veggies.
