The purpose of being NPO ( nothing to eat or drink) after midnight, is so that when you have your test, your colon is clean ( no fecal matter, which is produced as a result from eating). So, no, it is best that you follow the instructions. Your test results will be more accurate if there is no fecal material in your colon. After the test, you can eat to your heart's content.
I hope that this is useful.

What does NPO mean? I think if you're having an enema they probably want you cleared out so they can only see the barium on the scan. If there's food in there, that will make it hard to read. If there's a phone number on the instructions, call and ask. Otherwise look up the phone number of the facility you're having the test at and ask them.

Good luck!

I am hoping you mean castor oil.....isnt Castrol oil for cars???
