Hi
Can somebody tell me if it is ok to have Marmite in hot water or oxo stock cube "soup" the day before a colonoscopy as part of the `clear liquid diet.
Any tips how to cope with nausea due hunger and to much liquid also welcome.
Thanks

I live in Southern California so I don't know what Marmite or oxo stock cube is. I lost my appetite a few months and lost a ton of weight prior to having my colonoscopy. My wife gave me clear chicken broth and I could eat as much jello as I wanted. But I really didn't want anything, so I had no issues with the no eating/no drinking.

Yes, oxo and marmite both fine.
My technique to get the liquid down was this:
Mix, pour some into a small glass so that it's not over facing, and drink sips through a straw whilst holding your nose. Then immediately drink a little diluted elderflower water, followed by a suck of some barley sugar.
For 'the other end'- use a baby barrier cream right from the start and your bottom won't get sore.Also clean yourself with unfragranced baby wipes.
Personally, I gave myself a good week totally off red meat leading up to it. Just soup and bread for that week before really. Was so glad I did as it made the prep a piece of cake.
Don't panic and good luck x
