Pretty good they didn't find anything too unusual just hemorrhoids and diverticular pouches, but I guess I won't know for sure until the random biopsies come back....
So I leave for my appointment in 30 minutes. I hope I did my prep properly I was pretty sure I was cleaned out for a long time, but since the laxative wore off this morning I have really bad gas...
So I feel like I started my diet/prep way too early in the day and now I feel awful with 18 hours to go until my appointment. And I'm wondering is Mountain Dew alright for a clear liquid diet I feel...
So todays been a lot easier than I thought. I'm a little confused though is the goal supposed to literally be expelling clear water by the time this process is done? Or am I done whenever I stop...
Thanks I just took them, I keep reading that they take 6-12 hours to take effect but I have a hard time believing that when I just took 4 of them....
So I'm looking at my instructions one more time before beginning my prep tomorrow and it said to take "Dulcolax Tabs" x4. I assumed that meant Dulcolax laxatives, but there were also Dulcolax stool...
Is it "normal" to start feeling bad the day before you even start your prep? I'm not sure if it's anxiety or a coincidence, but I was feeling awful all last night with my stomach in knots and severe...
I had a rigid sig about two years ago to confirm that my bleeding is just from hemorrhoids. But there was no prep before hand. I'm sort of in the middle of getting diagnosed with IBD being a...
I'm a little confused about my prep that I'll be doing this Sunday. My instructions tell me to take 6 laxatives and mix 230g of Miralax with half a gallon of water. I've been reading that you can mix...
So I went for my consultation today and my GI didn't seem to take my problems very seriously. I'm glad that he thinks I'm alright, but he looked at my CT scan and said that he didn't think it was a...
I'm a little down today I felt decent for two weeks with mostly normal BM's, and then last night and now today my diarrhea is back. I'm wondering can I take my two week break as proof that whatever...
So today I noticed that I have a weird soft lump on my stomach that looks like it has something black underneath and it only bleeds if I squeeze it. Should I be concerned at all or would this be...
Yeah I had D for the entire day after my CT scan....
Yeah I guess you're right. After my CT scan the doctor offered to begin me on treatment to feel better, but she said that if I do start taking medicine my colonoscopy might not accurately detect if I...
Well I have a question about "flare ups". For the past few years I thought I had some kind of issue that built up my anxiety because I'd feel terrible for a month or certain periods of time where I...
Thank you that is comforting. I really just wanted to know if the lack of "physical" pain meant that it couldn't be Chrons, but I guess the symptoms are unique to the individual like you said. I have...
I know this is unrelated to my topic, but is the pain most common with Chrons a physical pain where a spot will feel tender? Or is it what I have where you get severe pain from abdominal cramping...
Well I've been having very mild problems for the past 4 years I mostly mean that I started seeing blood in my stool when I was 17. I had a "flare up" for about a month in Feb. 2010 where I was...
Thanks for the reply I'm only 21 years old and I just started having my digestive issues/bleeding issues when I was 17 so I hope that I haven't had issues long enough for it to be scar tissue. But...
Hi I'm trying to get diagnosed and figure out what's causing my digestive problems and my doctor thinks I might have Chrons because of my symptoms and jewish heritage. I had a CT scan done about a...
I'm going in for a consultation on monday to schedule a colonoscopy. But I'm still concerned with my inability to eat as soon as I eat I get an unpleasant gassy/indigestion feeling. This has only...
Hi I could really use some help or advice I've been having digestive issues for the past 3 years and I'm 21 years old. I finally got fed up with my current "flare-up" yesterday and went to the...
Hi I figured here would be a good place to ask since I've read about a few bowel obstruction topics here. Will you definitely know if you have a partial-bowel obstruction or could it last for weeks...
