I had my colonoscopy yesterday. As everyone knows the before was the worst! I'll never drink Gatorade again!! LOL Anyway colonoscopy findings: Your colonoscopy showed hemorrhoids, hypertrophy Anal...
I was so nervous today. I LOVED the GI doctor.......no pain today but when she pushed she saw me whinch.....because of the pain...colonoscopy scheduled ...mid Oct. Way better than the mid Nov initial...
Today's the day and I'm kind f nervous for it. Not till 3PM. I'm ready for it to be over, although it's actually just starting. THANKS....
On Sunday 9/14 I saw blood in the toilet bowl.....bright red watery. That was the first and only time I experienced that and it happened twice in that hour, then it was gone. That day I still...
I am a smoker and have used the e cig before......I do need to get back on it!!...
Ugghh I was so hoping she'd USE the 3 I have already done. I HATE hauling poop. LOL Thanks for your advice....
I had yet another appointment Tuesday with my PCP for follow up after the last stool tests. I already knew from results on the computer that it all came back normal, no parasites etc. I had all...
I was rather concerned about the blood in the toilet. If not for the research I've done so far and reading post here I do see that the blood in the bowl is not unusual. It's cleared up for now. What...
I have yet ANOTHER follow up with my PC doctor. The last stool test, they added to my chart on the internet came back all negative. I called the GI doctor to see if I could get my appointment with...
Finally the results of the 2nd stool test available....it's negative for parasites. Can I assume that the ER doctor was right in his Dx of UC. Back to the PCP Sept. 16. I may just call because I...
I took it to the lab on Tuesday and online in my chart the other showed up within 24 hours......the results of this one still aren't there. Not sure what that means. 2 weeks and I have another...
What else is there to look for in the stool that the doctor ordered another one?? Can't they run ALL the test there is at one time or do they start with the most likely cause and go from there. I'm...
C diff already done it was negative......
I got the lab kit from the hospital for the 2nd stool test. Got it home and there was no lid for the bowl BUT there were several bottles and the bowl. I was not going to worry about going to the PCP...
I had to go back and look at my first post to the group! I was sent home from the ER with cipro and flagyl and as needed zofran, I took all of them but the zofran I just needed them a few times. The...
The referral was from my doctor, I don't know much about the GI doctors around here. She didn't even offer an "If we have a cancellation"... It just kind of surprised me that a referral from a doctor...
My PCP has referred me to a GI doctor and the appointment isn't until November 13. I called today to see about getting in sooner and unfortunately since I am a "new patient" that is the wait time. If...
I found a book on Amazon and ordered it for her. My thinking is that we need to learn all we can about anxiety. The book is geared towards teens and is suppose to have tidbits of advice they can use...
UPDATE: Still clueless............they want more stool.......geesh!! I did forget to ask about the probiotics though. Anyway THIS poop is for Stool O and P x 3 and C and s. Searching I see...
I'm wondering now if the cutting wasn't also somehow related to her anxiety feeling that I too was clueless about until she told me yesterday. I do (to her unliking) bring up the cutting issue when I...
I will be making an appointment with her Ped. But with the cutting issue and him offering a referral then to a psychologist or whatever at a that time I'm wondering if he will even offer her any kind...
I am a mother of a 15 (almost 16) year old daughter. She's very shy and quiet. She informed me last night that she thinks she needs help for anxiety. I am so thankful that she was comfortable enough...
I have a feeling the GI doc will mention that, still not sure when that appt is....
The xray of the abdomen says: Bowel gas pattern unremarkable. No free air identified. No obstruction present. Spleen mildly prominent, appear to represent prominent Ridels lobe. Nothing else on the...
After completing the scirpts from the ER and 2 weeks later still with loose stools I went to my PCP doctor on Wednesday. He sent me for xrays (laying and standing) and a collection container for...
Was thinking the same thing!!...
Everything else is ok. No change in posture. The back pain is now gone....
Ohh it too was in my stomach but the back was the worse....
The back pain was across my lower back. In my original post this is what was said about BM: I STILL have a touch of non bloody diarrhea (usually upon wakening and one or two through the day) but no...
I hardly ever take OTC pain meds such as NSAIDSs or ibuprophen. Maybe once a month or less. Sheree...
I am new to the group. Here's a little background information. I am a 52 yr old female diagnosed with acid reflux 2 months ago tests with ENT confirmed these finding and I was started on Prevacid. I...
