Is it ok to drink flavored water while fasting before bloodwork?
by admin on Sunday, October 25th, 2009 | 5 Comments
I like to add stuff like the "On the go" packets – sugar free – to my water. But I’m getting blood work done this morning… is it ok to drink that, or will i have to resort to plain old water?
Plain old water is required for fasting before blood work.
While the additive may be sugar free, the flavoring chemicals can, in some cases, affect the test results.
Note that the COLORING dyes will DEFINITELY affect procedures such as a colonoscopy.
Plain old water — that’s it.
