I said the same thing!
They said if you eat the SunGold kiwi the skin isn't fuzzy.
I'm going to try them.

I’m not a kiwi fan to begin with but the eating the green ones not peeled has to be like eating a Brillo pad. I will look for the sun gold ones. Husband loves kiwi.
As you said, not too onerous to swap with some of these. I am not sure what kefir is but I actually enjoy all the other things.
Pistachios are surprisingly high in carbohydrates compared to other nuts. Found that put when tracking my blood sugar.
The colonoscopy is one of my healthy...whatevers! I got the notice almost a year ago that it was time, but the prep just about takes me under. Ugh!! Y'all say some prayers starting March 7th!

Kefir is a fermented milk drink similar to a thin yogurt or ayran that is made from kefir grains, a specific type of mesophilic symbiotic culture. It is prepared by inoculating the milk of cows, goats, or sheep with kefir grains. Kefir is a common breakfast, lunch or dinner drink consumed in countries of West Asia and Eastern Europe.

My naturpathe used to say Kefi was the champagne of yogourt
Thank you for that information. I am not sure if it is something that is available here, I will need to look.
Not a milk drinker...I know kefir is very good for gut health, but I just don't think I can stomach it, no pun intended.
That's a good pun!!
I was curious, so I looked up about this ... it's only one article. I did not do a deep dive, but I thought it was interesting for folks with lactose issues, like my sister.
However, if one just doesn't like the tangy taste, well, that's another issue. It's like drinking plain Greek yogurt. There is a brand that Aldi's has that comes in blueberry and strawberry that DS and I like. But it does have more sugar content. I don't buy it often. It's a tad more money than just getting plain Greek yogurt that we enjoy with granola (DS will put honey drizzles on it) or I use it like sour cream for taco night.

Kefir May Bolster Lactose Tolerance In Intolerant People
COLUMBUS, Ohio – For lactose intolerant adults, drinking fermented milk either eliminated or drastically reduced symptoms related to lactose intolerance. Researchers think that microbes in this fermented milk – called kefir – possess the enzyme that is necessary to digest lactose.

I misspoke when I added kefir into the list of foods with high fiber.
They also talked about fermented foods and their importance and kefir was in that list.
In the podcast, the speaker suggested mixing kefir into greek yogurt. Since greek yogurt is so thick.
I have seen in the stores here, kefir sold in little bottles. Some people do it like a shot I think.
Jane- You are doing the right thing by getting the colonoscopy. I took pills last time. Maybe that is an option?
I will say, they are like horse pills. Very big! It was hard getting the 2nd does of them down.
Or- is it the "going" part?!

I'm having to do a "long prep". I'm assuming due to being on Ozempic. I have to skip the Ozempic the week before. Then, on Saturday (colonoscopy is on a Monday), I have to take Dulcolax at 8AM and 6PM. I also have to mix one cap full of Miralax in 8 ounces of water and drink it, repeating it throughout the day until I've used the entire bottle of Miralax. On Sunday, I have to drink the prescription stuff which has been mixed with one gallon of water. I start at 2PM, drinking 8 ounces every 20 minutes until it's half gone. At 9PM, I have to repeat it, drinking the other half gallon that's left until it's gone.
I think it's overkill, and I hope I survive!
My last one, I had some polyps, so maybe that's why???
I was hoping for the pills!
The last four or so years I had a colonoscopy every 6 months while they watch a spot in my intestines. I told them there was no way I could drink all the medication in the gallon jugs. I didn’t mind the taste it was the amount. They said there was a prep called Moviprep but my insurances didn’t pay. It was $140 but I saved up for it every time. Very gentle, not explosive and less than half the amount of liquid. Finally they sniped off the tissue they were watching and put a clip on it. Now I go every 3 years. I just put my suitcase I used into the basement a few weeks ago. I kept it packed in my closet complete with soft toilet paper so I did not have to use the sandpaper kind in the hotel. I had to stay overnight since there was no way I could have done the prep and drove for two hours for the appointment. Wishing you lots of blessings during your prep.
@Ahorsesoul @missjane The sharing of experiences and ideas for help and the prayers is why MHH is such a blessing to me and everyone here!! Y'all are such a wealth of information on many topics. {{{{{{{ HUGS }}}}}}}

Jane that is alot of prep.
That gallon stuff you drink, I can dry heave thinking of it. I eat really light a few days before and usually get 1/2 to 3/4 of it down. Food goes through me so fast.
Last time we had one we had pills. You had to drink so much water at certain times and I think pills like 3 different times.
