Hello

You are asking what to avoid following a colon biopsy. An excellent discussion can be found on www.healthline.com. It is important to listen to the instructions given to you by your doctor, however.

Usually the dietary changes discussed in the website above are for about 24 hours. Sometimes though avoidance of rough foods may be recommended for up to two weeks. It is important to drink fluids and juices to avoid dehydration for a day or so following the procedure.

Good luck with your procedure.
Discuss with GI performing biopsy. it depends on the result of the colonoscopy. But a green, organic, non-GMO, low gluten Mediterranean diet is best.
