Get a colonoscopy asap

Hi Jkoutnik15, Thank you for sharing and I'm sorry to hear about the issues you are experiencing. You'll need to contact a specialist and ultimately get a colonoscopy. Depending on what the protocol is per your doctor's office/insurance, they may have you do a non-invasive test, such as a FIT test or a Stool DNA test which will be looking for abnormaliities in your stool.

Our guts are heavily impacted by stress - so do your best to channel the nervous energy into action to get to see a specialist as soon as possible.

There are so many possible reasons for the symptoms you are experiencing, but the only way to rule out colorectal cancer will be a thorough screening by a specialist.

Please keep in touch with us and we're hoping for the best.

Great - glad to hear that you have a colonoscopy this Tuesday!

It is really important to follow whatever prep the GI has prescribed for you, exactly as the instructions say to do, because you want to have the cleanest colon possible, so that they can get the best possible view and photos of your colon.

Here's some information on foods you can eat and foods to avoid in the days leading up to your colonoscopy: wa.kaiserpermanente.org/htm...

Please keep us posted and we're hoping for good news,
