Thanks so much for taking the time to reply. So appreciated. I know that there are hours of film to review, so that is why I was asking...not sure what kind of time frame was normal, and I was...
I was wondering if those of you who have had this test can tell me how long it took for you to get final results. I swallowed the pill three weeks ago, and still have no results, and am just going...
My test was Friday and Camera came out on Sunday. And like someone else said, other foods came out before the pill that I ingested after the pill...wierd....
Boy was that an interesting test. If it wasn't for the prep the dr required it really would have been easy. (except try wearing those stickers/harness around all day in the desert..it was about 109...
I really feel bad saying who he is because I don't want to give him a bad name. It's more his staff that I am disappointed in. I still think he is a good doc. Would any of you leave a good doc if the...
I'm fed up with my GI doc. Not so much him, but his office staff. It's a long story, but trust me when I say they are incompetant and disorganized and have botched up some stuff thru this whole...
C-scope 10+ years ago was Versed/Demerol combo. Was out cold for an hour after the procedure was done, and went home and slept the day away. Fentenyl/ Propofol combo for recent C-scope (two months...
Wow...that was super fast. THe actual test...I was expecting at least an hour or more. They even commented on how fast it went..does this mean anything? From the time the barium was in my stomach to...
He gave me a bunch of samples of that med you mentioned..the Xifaxan. He said it wouldn't give me the side affects, which is good. I was really dizzy on Flagyl and also had the metal taste. I didn't...
So I am still having daily bouts of diarrhea, cramping, pain, and as of two weeks ago I have really bad pain in my hips/low back and feet/ankles. I limp every morning. It's sooo miserable. Thankfully...
Glad to hear your doc is still on board at getting to the bottom of it all. What a relief. Did you mention to him what the nurse said? I had two polyps at my colonoscopy too, and they turned out to...
Mayok, I totally follow what you are are saying regarding the nurse. She has now misled you two times (due to ignorance) about your results, first with saying it was your esophogus, and second,...
Hi. I had this done March 2009 for bleeding that lasted 3 weeks a month which at the time we thought was the cause of some anemia I had. I had heavy bleeding/prolonged bleeding and debilitating...
This all sounds sooo confusing and beyond frustrating. I am so sorry. I am not diagnosed yet, so I am far from being an expert, but ever since the doc said "i think you have Crohn's" I have been in...
So I have had chronic diarrhea for over a year...with "flares" (if I am even allowed to say that) that cause me to go over 10 times a day, night-time abdominal cramping, cold sweats and nausea and...
I have had "IBS" symptoms off and on over the years and they seemed related to stress. When the bad diarrhea, pain, abcess/fistula, weight loss etc (more IBD type symptoms) and all that began, here...
Oh my word! I was soooo grumpy about them asking for a pregnancy test too (had colonoscopy last week.) I did the same thing and told them I'd sign a waiver or something. I mean there was literally...
My dermatologist brought up the term "cutaneous crohn's". It's a skin condition that pathologically looks the same as the pathology in the colon in Crohn's patients. I have granuloma lesions on my...
We felt that clear over here in Phoenix....
Thank you to all replies. I appreciate it. Vixen, Im glad you told me about the inflammatory type polyps. In my online research into polyps last night I found that on rare occasions, the polyps are...
So I am in the middle of testing to rule out IBD as a reason/cause for my chronic diarrhea, weight loss and abdominal pain etc. I had an anal fistula the last two years and had surgery last...
Thank you! I ended up calling both my GI doc's office and the hospital. The doc still has me on his schedule..lol. And the hospital looked first at a paper book, said I wasn't there, but then checked...
Tomorrow I spend the day prepping for the big C, and Wed morning is the test. This may seem like a silly question, but is it typical for the facility (in my case the outpatient area of the hospital)...
Oh one more thing. WHen my doc told the receptionist he wanted a CT Enteroclysis done he said he specifically wanted it done at the hospital (where he works). WHen they made the appointment they made...
Hi again...I introduced myself last week...in the middle of testing for IBD. But not close to being done yet. Colonoscopy is in 1 week. But I did stop by to pick up my CT report from my PCP since I...
Thank you for the welcome Nanners. I have the labslip right here for the blood tests they ordered (i really need to get in there and do that...waiting for Spring Break to end so I don't have to drag...
I had a fistula removed last fall. It seemed to have it's own little cycle of getting infected, which would be very painful, and then there would be drainage and some bleeding. The drainage didn't...
Hi all. I have been reading posts on this board for a couple of weeks now for informational purposes, and have had a couple occasions of wanting to reply, or ask further questions, so I thought it...
