Hi
I am not new here but have not been on the site for a while. I have been having IBS issues for years but was too scared to get the colonoscopy done because of fear of what they would find. My symptoms have slowly gotten worse over the past couple of years., I am a runner and was starting to have issues of not being able to finish a run because my colon would start up and I would have to walk home in pain holding it in as best as i could. Well when the red bleeding started i decided it was time to see a GI who rushed me in for a colonoscopy. I drank that nasty stuff to clean me out and had the scope and came out clean. After a follow up the doctor he thought the bleeding was due to the fact that this can happen to long distant runners where the colon can fill up with blood. I stopped drinking coffee before my runs and have been doing better. My problem now is my stomach I am nauseated and feel sick ever since drinking that prep. I do have an appointment for a follow up next month but was wondering if anyone else has had this problem.
