Starting clear liquids....

I am starting my clear liquids tommorrow. I have a question....Does anyone know about red jello? Somewhere I heard that red jello was a no.. no....I plan on having white grape juice and chicken broth, but I would like to have jello also...If anyone could help I would really appreciate it.....

Check with your NUT but: * Beverages: o Water, coffee, or tea (no milk or non-dairy creamer) o Strained fruit juices with no pulp (apple juice, white grape juice, lemonade) o Soft drinks/Sports drinks (ginger ale, cola, Sprite, 7-Up, Gatorade) * Soups: o Chicken or Beef bouillon/broth, low sodium, fat free * Desserts: o Jell-O (lemon, lime, orange, NO fruit, NO toppings) o Popsicles (NO sherbets, NO fruit bars) o Hard candies Do not drink or eat anything with red or purple coloring. Red/purple food coloring can leave a residue in the bowel that resembles blood. Keep this in mind when purchasing Jell-O, Popsicles, hard candy, drinks, etc. No solid foods allowed, including milk/milk products.

I have to do this for tomorrow......ohh man......

Oops, not sure if you can have pop or anything with sugar in it..... Hope this helps! Good luck! SW

Crystal, I had heard that red/purple dye was not good too. I would just skip it and go with something else. Good Luck.....it's coming up fast!!! Don't forget your before shots/measurements. I didn't do it and I totally regret it. Brenda

i was also told no red jello. any other kind but not red. not sure as to the reason as i didn't care enough to check it out.

Barix never said anything about red.... I ate it jello and popsicles....the chicken broth with garlic salt is what got me through ..... one more sleep... woooohooooo

I was told I could have any jello I wanted.... they brought me orange and red in the hospital. Cherry is my best friend, right now its the only thing SAFE... for me! Smoochez'
