Brief Summary

Colonoscopy is the gold-standard for the evaluation of the colorectal mucosa. Colonoscopy quality indicators are the adenoma detection rate, the rate of cecal intubation and the bowel preparation.

The role of diet in preparing for colonoscopy is not fully established. Currently there is not enough evidence available to choice between 3 days of low residue diet versus 1 day.

The research hypothesis is that the low residue diet offers a non-inferior bowel preparation and an improved tolerance.

Primary Outcome Measures
NameTimeMethod
Bowel preparationDuring the colonoscopy

Measured with the Boston Bowel Preparation Scale from 0 until 9. 9 represents an excellent preparation.

Secondary Outcome Measures
NameTimeMethod
Endoscopic diagnosisIt is assessed during the colonoscopy and will be reported the same day.

Final endoscopic diagnosis. For example; normal, diverticulosis, polyps, colorectal cancer, etc.

Diet toleranceIt is reported before entering the endoscopy room. Regarding the 3 or 1 days on low fiber diet depending on which study group is the participant.

Using Likert scale. From 1 to 5, lower is better tolerance.

Withdrawal timeit is assessed from at the beginning of the withdrawal of the colonoscope until the colonoscopy is finished. (procedure)

Time lapse between cecum withdrawal the end of the exploration.

Adenoma detection rateup to 2 weeks after colonoscopy depending on pathology department workload.

Proportion of colonoscopies with detection of colorectal cancer or adenoma excluding distal hyperplastic

Intubation timeit is assessed from the start of the colonoscopy until cecum is reached (1 day)

time lapse from the start of the exploration until cecum is reached.

Cecum intubation rateIt will be calculated through study completion, approximately 1 year, for all the study period using all participants having the colonoscopy done

Cecum intubation will be assessed during each colonoscopy if the endoscope reaches the cecum.

Preparation toleranceIt is reported before entering the endoscopy room. Regarding the 3 or 1 day on bowel preparation depending on which study group is the participant.

Using Likert scale. From 1 to 5, lower is better tolerance.
