I'm having a colonoscopy tomorrow am. Of course I cannot have any food today but/cept I already had a TBS. of coconut oil in my coffee. I didn't know if I could starve all day, especially since I won't break my keto by drinking sugar pop or juice. Anybody know if this will affect the test?

    I haven't got a clue, I wouldn't think so, but you never know.

    I was at my doctor's office this summer and she said, I'd like to draw blood, have you eaten today? I said, No, but I had CO in my coffee. She said, ok, that shouldn't be a problem, but it might show an increase in your triglycerides, so just come back tomorrow on a completely empty stomach.

    Good luck today! Way to keep to your diet too.

    Thanks, I think I'm gonna "decide" the TBS of coconut oil wont affect it and go from there.

    Don't know if you're still looking for guidance on this, but the issue with colonoscopy: can the doc see the walls of your colon with it being obscured by stool. If you have a clear, watery bm prior to the colonoscopy, then everything should be good. If you're still having brown bowel movements, I'd cancel and try again another time because they're going to make you repeat it. Sorry for the graphic nature of the answer. :-/
