Hello dr. @availlant , dr. @ThomasTu @Bansah1
Hope all is well, and Thanks you in advance for your always kind advices.
I have a scheduled colonoscopy. ( 5 year check ) .
I have few questions:
- Is the prep liquid I’ll have to drink for the procedure ok for me to drink? it won’t stress my liver?
- I take TAF every morning after breakfast, on October 8 the morning of the colonoscopy, I can’t have breakfast .
Can I take TAF without food?
Could I take it after the colonoscopy with food? but it would be late afternoon ( I usually take it at 8:30/9:00 am)
Also I would appreciate if anyone in the forum beside health experts has had any experience on the matter.
Thanks you
Gregory
Hi @Gregory,
It’s been awhile, I hope you are doing well. It should be fine taking it after the procedure. I also think the cleansing liquid should not cause any issue with your liver. I myself have done a colonoscopy and did not have any issues. Best, Bansah1
Dear @Gregory,
@Bansah1 is correct. No worries on this day. The liquid preparation you drink is designed to help your digestive tract expel feces and has no impact on your liver.
Whenever you take TAF on this day is fine. With or without food. If you have prior experience with stomach discomfort with TAF taken without food, it is fine to wait to take your TAF with your next meal.
Even if you skipped this day’s TAF, there is no worry. This is done with TDF with no issue.
