Summary

This study tested whether a special food kit with laxatives could make colonoscopy preparation easier and safer for veterans compared to the standard clear-liquid diet. 57 veterans were randomly assigned to either the standard prep or the food kit prep. The goal was to see if the food kit was just as effective at cleaning the colon while being more tolerable and satisfying for patients.
