Hi Milostanley,

Thanks for posting with us. You should feel very good about what you are doing. You are not ignoring symptoms (like I did) and are on a path to getting the answers you need. I am proud of you. One of the first things to realize is that things are happening and ignoring them will not help.

You should also realize that what you are experiencing can be a result of many different things. It’s having to speculate and plain not knowing that drives being anxious. You’ve discovered symptoms. They are what they are, but going on offense by getting it checked out, getting results and following the path to getting better is absolutely being pro-active and controlling the situation to the extent that you can. And the colonoscopy is the gold standard of evaluating the GI tract. No need to fear it and I see it as a tool in the bag you can use to get answers.

We do wish you the best in getting you some good answers. Please let us know what you find out as it is that type of information that can be helpful to others as well.

Thank you,
