I had a colonoscopy due to IBS getting so much worse. I feel like something else besides the IBS is going on. I’m thinking Crohns, but the doctor didn’t mention that–only that I may need additional tests he would dicuss at follow up visit. I am just wondering if he would be able to tell for sure that I didn’t have it–just through the colonoscopy.

Im having a colonoscopy in 8 hours, and I used that horrible s**t, FLeet Laxative. I cleaned out, but I cant go through another dose of that stuff, I had a headache the entire night, and it tasted aweful, I could barely keep it down. Can I do an enema right before i go to the colonoscopy to clean out, so I dont have to reschedule?

I have a lot of anxiety because it’s only 2 and a half weeks before my first colonoscopy. I think about it constantly.
It’s the long hose that scares me.

Especially if it’s a bright red color? Wouldn’t you think it’s only hemmoroids and nothing more?
My wife does.. But she told me she felt kind of sore for a couple of days in her rectal area after bleeding though.
She’s thinking of cancelling her colonoscopy because she does not see any more blood.

Does anyone know the news?
"Colonoscopy equipment wasn’t sterilized between patients…"

what is the latest progress of this incident?
The hiv infection of those people reported is really due to the colonoscopy?
Thank you for your kind offer.

I think i have colitis (not ulcerative colitis though) because i have all the symptoms of it. My doctors have been diognosing me with Ibs but i think it is colitis because the symptoms seem more like what im getting. Is a colonoscopy the only way to determine i have colitis?

Thanks

The bible says that nothing may be inserted into the rectum of a male or you will be found guilty of sodomy and homosexuality. Is this true?

I Had A colonoscopy On On April 9 !

The new GI specialist I’m going to has an entire floor dedicated to his practice. He does endoscopies and colonoscopies on the same floor so patients will not have to go to a hospital, outpatient center, etc. Is it safe to say that I will not be paying as much out of pocket as I would at a hospital or outpatient center?

I’ve had both procedures done. Would my specialist have seen a candida overgrowth if it exists? I have all of the symptoms and there seems to be no explanation! I know they CAN be seen, but would they necessarily?

It is still a possibility I have it?
I’ve had chronic sinus problems all my life and for the past 18 years have been on antibiotics at least twice a year!

They did take biopsies from both procedures (they were months ago) and nothing came back. Is it possible maybe they didn’t check for it?
