TWIL: Colonoscopy prep in the age of GLP-1


Last Thursday I was one week out from my upcoming colonoscopy. I knew I wasn’t supposed to consume any tomatoes or popcorn, but that was all. I needed a refresher on what foods were allowed.

Also, I had a nagging worry. This weight-loss drug slows down bowel traffic, and I was concerned that when the colonoscopy prep began, it might be like an ambulance trying to barrel past a traffic jam.

Yep, not supposed to take them a week before, just as you are supposed to limit fiber intake a week before. So I bumped my weekend shot up to Thursday and I am just squeaking under the one-week deadline.
