Hi Borb, I definitely remember you. I'm sorry you're going through this as well, I really am. I am in my 20s as well, a bit older at 29. It's been a tough month because October is my favorite time of...
Hi All, I am new to this forum, I posted once the night before my colonoscopy in the UC board because I thought that's what I had. To give the briefest background I can, I was over prescribed...
No no I really like talking to people here I just don't want to overdo it since I didnt end up having UC. I know some websites get pretty serious about posting in the right right area. That's the...
Borb, So weird! You think they could take 5 seconds to discuss your situation with you. She said the scope probably caused some irritation, I was told before I left by the same less than awesome...
Oh! Just saw your response Sara. Thanks for the answer :) well I hope you don't! I hope everything is smooth...
To rant a bit and then I promise I will let this thread die, especially since I don't have UC afterall. My GI has been pretty terrible about informing me of anything. I was told by the nurse...
I appreciate the advice, Sara. I had a stool sample and they did test for c-diff but I believe that's all that was tested for. I too have had a CT scan and ultrasound, the only thing I havent had is...
iPoop, I don't think the entire illness could possibly be anxiety only. I've had a sensitive stomach for many years linked to stress and this has been entirely different. Life would be going great...
Some of it is anxiety I am sure. I'm a little worried about how I feel after all of the things at the hospital. She had me take breathes after the procedure. I only had IV sedation and oxygen in my...
I thought I would update this thread as I have updated my second one. I do not have UC, or apparently, anything. My GI thinks that perhaps the clindamycin threw me off track and my continued bland...
I definitely took the second dose and that was the very worst part of the whole experience, choking that down with growling stomach and waaay too much liquid. A rough go this morning. My GI came and...
Well I dont want to mess it up :/ I don't have insurance so this is a one shot big deal thing. but I can't even imagine what could come out further at this point. If I drink water I get a pee/butt...
Hi Again guys, Sara- it has the weirdest dog food taste! It gagged me for like 2 hours. I feel pretty normal now, my BP actually rose from its usual low to a nearly perfect normal, probably due to...
Update: liquid is projectile shooting out of my butt lol I think I went clean pretty quick, if this is happening already I can't imagine needing the other bottle in the morning, seems like a lot...
Hi All, I took the Clenpiq about 45 minutes ago. Sort of tasted like salty cranberry dogfood lol. Nothing terrible has happened so far but the cramping I was already dealing with has heightened and...
it was something i saw online, I'm getting myself stupid worked up and reading stuff lol. I stopped eating at midnight (woke up weird today) so I'm starting to get hungry but my angel of a husband...
Good to know it's not a rarity, I figured it couldnt be. I had a stool sample a while back to test for c.diff, it was negative but that was through my GP and my GI now thinks it's still possible that...
I don't know if anyone will see this, but it's prep day for me, tonight at 5pm I'll drink my first dose of Clenpiq. I tried to eat very bland and somehow Im still having a ton of stomach and back...
Ipoop, I definitely have health anxiety :/ I'm OCD as well which doesn't help when taking medicines. Borborygmi, that's great news! Thank you so much for keeping me updated, it's actually been the...
Hey Borb, What a relief to have someone to talk to that's going through the same exact thing. Also a relief to hear Clenpiq isnt bad. Was it hard to drink? Gross tasting or anything? They told me it...
Hi All, This is my first colonoscopy prep and I'm getting myself in a tailspin of fear because I cant really find any info about the prep I was given. It's called Clenpiq? The few reviews I read...
Borborygmi, I've had a few bleeding episodes that I think were from hemorrhoids but honestly could have come from UC as I don't know what's going on yet. I do know my nausea is getting more frequent,...
Hi again everyone, My scope is in a week now and I'm so nervous. Mainly I'm only nervous about the prep. I cant imagine inducing diarrhea when I spend all my time trying not to have it. Did any of...
Thank you everyone, I am trying to live as if I already have UC because it gets my stomach stable. Holo100, I've read a lot about Clindamycin since it well ruined my life and it seems to me the issue...
Hi iPoop, thanks for responding. I definitely have the urgency and very painful bowel movements. Once in a while I can get my stomach under control but usually its a lot of running to the bathroom in...
Thanks so much for responding. It's hard to explain, my stools are never really "normal" even at their best they look as if they're connected with mucus or something. And they are often yellow,...
Hi All, I've been lurking here for months, more and more since I've gotten sick. You guys are really great and have taught me a lot. I wanted to tell my story up to where I am and see what you all...
