(COLON PREPARATION)
- On the day before your barium enema, start a clear liquid diet. A list of the foods allowed is included below.
- At approximately 5:00 PM, on the night before your exam, begin drinking your GoLYTELY solution 4L (4000 cc). You should drink 8 oz. every 10-15 minutes. You will be drinking at least 1 quart per hour for a total of 3-4 quarts. Diarrhea will begin within the hour after beginning your solution.
