According to research published by the National Institutes of Health, a full liquid diet is appropriate for patients transitioning from a clear liquid diet who are not yet ready for solid foods. But what is a full liquid diet after a colonoscopy, and how does it aid recovery?

According to research, up to 34% of people experience symptoms like bloating and cramping for up to two days following a colonoscopy, making a greasy, high-fiber meal like pizza a poor choice for immediate recovery. While the craving may be strong after fasting, consuming pizza right after a colonoscopy can cause significant discomfort and hinder healing.
