Please follow the guidelines strictly. It is important to empty your bowel for a clear inspection. Should you fail to take all the medications prepared by our center or consume foods that are not allowed, it becomes harder for you to cleanse the bowel and might be unable for us to perform the colonoscopy. Especially, examinees suffering from chronic constipation should eat much less than normal portion.
