If you are scheduled at Berks Center for Digestive Health, you MUST notify the Anesthesia Department at 610- 288-3235 if there are any changes to your medical history, including specialists’ visits and hospital or emergency rooms visits and/or prescription medications since your office visit or your phone assessment with the nurse.  \n2. You are on a CLEAR LIQUID DIET from the time you wake up the day before the procedure until 4 hours before the report time.  \n3. You must have NOTHING by mouth starting 4 hours before your report time.  \n4. If you are on insulin, you need to talk to the provider that monitors you glucose levels for instruction on regulating the medication prior to your procedure. If you are on oral diabetic medications, take your medicine in the morning of your PREP DAY but NOT the evening of prep day or EXAM DAY.  \n5. If you are on BLOOD THINNERS, follow the instructions that were given at the time of your office visit or during your phone assessment. If your doctor does not allow you to temporarily stop blood thinning medications, notify our doctors immediately so they can decide how to proceed.  \n6. There is no need to stop aspirin or NSAIDs (Motrin, etc.) as you may have been told in the past.  \n7.

You MAY NOT use public transportation unaccompanied.  \n9. You CANNOT drive a vehicle for the remainder of the day after having a colonoscopy.  \nNote: We reserve the right to cancel your procedure if the instructions are not followed.  \nIf you have questions or you are unable to complete most of the prep or have not moved your bowel, please call the office IMMEDIATELY at 610-374-4401 or after 4:45pm at 610-607-1729 and ask to speak with the on-call physician.  \nSpecial Note: You have an advanced directive (Living Will), please bring it with you on the day of your procedure.  \nHOW TO PREPARE FOR YOUR COLONOSCOPY:  \nThe key to success with your prep is to perceive the prep process beginning at the very start of the day prior to your scheduled colonoscopy.  \nA clear liquid diet is important because:  \n• Liquids with calories combat hunger all day, the more liquids you consume from the approved list, the less likely you will feel the symptoms of starvation later in the evening.  \n• Liquids combat dehydration and symptoms of it such as headache, dizziness, lethargy, fatigue, constipation, irritability and racing heart.  \n• Liquids are liquefying to your stools and help with accelerating your response to the prep and ensuring a complete and perfect clean out.  \nFive (5) days before your colonoscopy:  \n1. Do not take medications that contain fiber, including fiber supplements (Ex: Metamucil, Citrucel, etc.) and vitamins.  \n2. Do not take medications or vitamins that contain iron.  \n3. Pick up your bowel prep kit at the pharmacy.  \n4. Avoid nuts, regular corn, popcorn, fruits, and seeds.  \nOne (1) day before your colonoscopy:  \n1. Only drink CLEAR LIQUIDS the entire day before your procedure.  \n2. DO NOT EAT ANY SOLID FOODS.  \n3. Drink as many clear liquids as you want on the PREP DAY. In fact, drink large amounts of clear liquids to avoid dehydration and to make the laxatives work better.  \n4. Try to consume many liquid things with calories before 6PM on the day you start drinking the laxative prep.  \nApproved Clear Liquids Include:  \n• Water  \n• Apple or white grape juice  \n• Clear broth  \n• Soft drinks: soda  \n• Gatorade, non-pulp lemonade, Kool-Aid  \n• Hot or iced tea or coffee– no cream, milk or powdered creamer  \n• Jell-O, Popsicles (without fruit), sorbet, Italian Ice  \nDo not drink alcohol No red or purple products, orange is OK  \nYou m","cbCaih3yafg63GvE","https://ap.wps.com/l/cbCaih3yafg63GvE","pdf",121739,"English","# Colonoscopy Prep Instructions for Gallon-PM Appointment\n## Before the Procedure: Key Rules\n## Five Days Before\n## One Day Before\n## Approved Clear Liquids and Restrictions\n## 4-6 PM: Start Prep\n## Day of Colonoscopy (Exam Day)\n## Updated 10/14/16","[{\"question\":\"What is the required diet before a colonoscopy with the Gallon-PM appointment?\",\"answer\":\"Follow a clear liquid diet from waking up the day before the procedure until 4 hours before the report time.
