I know I have other posts going on here. As the day for the colonoscopy gets close, Monday, I am becoming increasingly scared of all the possibilities the doctor can find, mainly tumors/cancer.

Has anyone else experienced this? I guess this is all triggered by running to the bathroom this morning and just having yellow watery stool. This is the second time this happens in 4 months. I am crossing my fingers that this is from the sushi and ice cream (probably 4 scoops) that I ate last night before I went to bed

I haven't read your past posts (I just hopped on here) but if it's any reassurance, I've have had Ulcerative colitis for 22 years, Diverticular disease for 6 years and IBS for 8 years. I get scoped every 2 years. I have yellow stool every single day with every bm (I go from 1-4 times a day) for the past 4 years. Every test came out normal including scopes. So if your are seeing this very infrequently, I honestly wouldn't worry. The color of our stool primarily depends on what we eat.
