According to the National Institute of Diabetes and Digestive and Kidney Diseases, a clean bowel is critical for an accurate colonoscopy, and following a low-fiber diet days before is a key step in preparation. Knowing which vegetables are acceptable during this time can be confusing, but the rules center on minimizing residue to ensure a clear view for your doctor.

According to instructions from numerous gastroenterology practices, patients undergoing a colonoscopy can generally mix their Suprep solution with a powdered drink mix like Crystal Light. This is permitted, provided the mix is a clear liquid and does not contain any red or purple dyes, which can interfere with the procedure.
