Dietary options pre-bowel cancer screening

"Dietary options pre-bowel cancer screening"

About: Solihull Hospital / Gastroenterology

(as a service user),

I feel that the information given about what you can eat and can't is a little vague, I think it would help if there were about 6 menu choices/ examples of what you could eat in the 2 days leading up to the colonoscopy, e. g.

You could eat:

Breakfast: Cornflakes with milk.

Lunch: cream cheese sandwich on white bread.

Dinner: roast chicken ( no skin) with mashed potato ( no vegetables)

Dessert: chocolate sponge pudding with custard

If there were several choices under each heading I think it would be easier for those that might not have imagination where food is concerned.
