Colonoscopy prep can be confusing. Here’s the truth: “Clear” on a label does NOT mean it’s allowed for colonoscopy prep. Medical “clear liquids” have very specific rules, and breaking them can mean poor visibility, canceled procedures, or having to repeat the prep. This graphic follows a strict rule set many GI offices use: NO red NO purple NO orange What IS allowed: • Water (still or sparkling) • Zero-sugar electrolytes (lemon or lemon-lime only) • Clear chicken or vegetable broth • Clear diet soda (Sprite Zero, 7UP Zero, ginger ale) • Tea or black coffee (no milk, no cream) • Sugar-free gelatin or freezer pops (yellow or green only) What is NOT allowed (even though people think it is): • “Clear protein” or “clear nutrition” drinks • Protein, collagen, amino acids, fiber, or fat • Peach, mango, tropical, berry, or grape flavors (because of the color) • Juice-heavy or “natural” drinks (due to high pulp) • Anything cloudy, milky, or opaque Important reminders: • Visual transparency does NOT make a drink medically clear • Protein = digestion = residue = bad prep • When in doubt, choose lemon or unflavored • Always follow your GI’s written instructions if they’re stricter than general advice How much most people need (average adult): • 1–2 gallons of water • 80–120 oz of zero-sugar electrolytes • 64 oz of clear broth • Optional comfort items like diet soda or freezer pops This is educational, not medical advice. Your GI’s instructions always win. But if you’ve ever stood in a store wondering “Is this allowed?” — this is for you. Save this. Share this. And hopefully only do prep once.

Women must stand together. SA must have consequences, including prison and /or the death penalty. This has gone on for way too long and we all know it.
