What to get at the grocery store before a colonoscopy

Brooks Bell, the Colonoscopy Enthusiast and Colorectal Cancer Alliance Board Member, goes shopping before a follow-up colonoscopy. What are some of the best things to buy at the grocery store when prepping for a colonoscopy? Brooks helps build your shopping list!

In January 2019, Bell was diagnosed with stage-III colon cancer at age 38. She underwent six months of surgeries and chemotherapy. During that time, she learned of the shocking rise of colorectal cancer in young people, which inspired her to share her story, establish an awareness campaign, and start an initiative and event to encourage colorectal cancer screening.

Colorectal cancer screening is the No. 1 way to prevent colorectal cancer or detect it early, when it's most treatable. All average-risk adults should begin screening at age 45.
