Patf Posted March 16, 2011 Share Posted March 16, 2011 Does this mean:"only water", or"not even water"?Going for a blood test and before it can't eat, but not sure about drinking - she said "que l'eau." Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

5-element Posted March 16, 2011 Share Posted March 16, 2011 Pat, it does mean that you should drink only water and nothing else, prior to the test. Good luck. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JSKS Posted March 16, 2011 Share Posted March 16, 2011 nil by mouth except water. even sall quantities of food, sugar etc can affect the results (dependiing on what is being assayed) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

woolybanana Posted March 16, 2011 Share Posted March 16, 2011 To add a bit, the expression à jeun means no solids or liquids, also usually before a medical test. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
idun Posted March 16, 2011 Share Posted March 16, 2011 What Wooly said, as the jeun in petit de'jeun'er means break 'fast'.Hope your tests were OK. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
