Colonoscopy prep: make it easier Mar 8 7:21am | By Joey Keillor (@joeykeillor)Comment receiving replies
If you have jello make sure it is not red or purple color.
You need to avoid food with those color dyes in them. The colon can take on those colors and appear different because of them. This detail is usually listed in the prep sheets the office gives you.

@barbaradh During my prep, i did eat green jello, along with drinking lemon-lime gatorade with miralax, and some apple juice and lots of water! everything was so sweet! and the chicken boullion was too salty. My prep was rough - 6 Dulcolax and 2 bottles of Miralax in 3 bottles of Gatorade - i was pooping clear Gatorade by 3pm and gave up on the rest after that as it was making me ill. The procedure went fine- and no polyps or other problems, so never again!!
For all the advice to "finish your prep" - you know your own body and judge accordingly.
