Hi I’m going to have a lower and upper GI to check for crohn’s disease but I have very bad allergic reactions to anaesthetics. The doctor said she won’t use one for this procedure and it’s only a little uncomfortable. Any help please?? It is painful enough to be knocked out or sedated? I’ve had lot of test done without anaesthetics but this one seems scary. Thanks!

I had one ten years ago which showed no problem. My next birthday I will be seventy and I have been Type 2 diabetic for about seven years.

I had the exam done yesterday and everything turned up fine. My husband just won’t let up. I just wanted to be sure because my doctor’s office is closed today.

I am feeling VERY nervous about it, but have symptoms of colon cancer, so need to have it done to make sure… what does it feel like afterwards? What is the recovery rate?

Someone told me there is a big gap in back of the gown.Like a big square opening. Is that right?

My sister is supposed to have it done in a couple of months from now.

New modern less invasive colonoscopy uses camera pill.

Have you been tested? How did it go?

If my father has to have a colonoscopy how can he drink the stuff to clean himself out. if he has really bad alzheimer? He doesn’t know when he goes he just goes. Would he have to sit on the toliet for a long, long time or what?

I’m trying to understand what the early symptoms of this form of colorectal cancer are and how they differ from classic adenomatous CRC. If you are qualified to answer this question, I appreciate your answer and thank you in advance.
