Before a capsule endoscopy procedure, your specialist doctor will conduct a detailed evaluation of your current health status, past surgeries, and medications you are currently taking, providing you with the necessary information. Pre-procedure preparations generally include:
* Avoiding solid foods and consuming a clear liquid diet one day before the procedure.
* Preventing constipation is of great importance.
* Absolutely avoiding the consumption of red-colored beverages such as turnip juice, cherry juice, or pomegranate juice, which could be mistaken for blood images.
* To enhance image quality and facilitate the capsule's progression through the intestines, a bowel-cleansing laxative is often administered.
