No, you shouldn’t take Red Gatorade before a colonoscopy. Colonoscopy is a medical procedure where a medical instrument called colonoscopy is passed through your anus to check for abnormalities in the colon.
During this procedure, it is not advisable to take any drink with purple, red, or blue dye because they will discolor your stool which may affect the doctor’s decision. If you must take any drink before the procedure, only take clear liquids such as coffee, Italian ice, soft drinks, jello, and others.
