A colonoscopy isn’t painful but simply an inconvenience. I’ve had 2 in 5 years and polyps were found in the lower bowel and removed. And the last surgeon photographed one to show me. They just look like little thumbs. Please don’t worry, it will probably be just fine.

I know this is not Afib related but has anyone had a colonoscopy with conscious sedation. Was it painful. Also trying to sort out what to eat the days prior to having it . It's a nightmare. Hopefully it won't trigger a Afib attack.

I’ve got to have a colonoscopy, with three days of a low fibre diet as part of the preparation. The hospital has given me a list of foods I can eat, but at least half of them aren’t gluten free or the gf equivalent is higher in fibre.

Hi I’m getting my first Colonoscopy soon for suspected IBD. Do you have any tips for how to manage the prep beforehand, can I drink anything alongside it to help the awful taste, does a straw help? Does keeping it in the fridge help, any tips at all?

Hello all you lovely ladies 😊😊😘 I had a colonoscopy in July. This colonoscopy was absolute agony, and during the procedure the consultant said the pain was due to my bowels being stuck together.

, pre colonoscopy I still had pain in my lower right abdomen and suffered from other issues like not being able to go to the bathroom 2-3 days at a time , sometimes going to the toilet a lot in a day , sometimes have pencil-thin stool. so I went and got a colonoscopy and the doctor said that from the

I’ve just had my first ever hospital procedure with sedation - A colonoscopy and gastroscopy (top and tail) to check why I might not be absorbing B12 and iron. I’ve been terrified about it for so long and it was a complete non-event.

Hello everyone colonoscopy went well. Obviously the prep was the worst but the sleep was so good. Here is the results of my endoscopy and colonoscopy. I have no idea what they all mean.

I will also ask my gastro if there any other options other than colonoscopy, at least until I feel better. I hope they can work with me as my anxiety is taking a toll on my body and mind.

I wouldn’t want to do a colonoscopy without going to sleep. Which I’ve heard some people have done. But it sounds very painful

I am due to have a colonoscopy next week and when I made the Dr aware in my pre-op telephone call of my device, they mentioned turning my device off. Obviously this concerns me and they said they would be contacting the HF clinic.

Will I be ok to have my colonoscopy tomorrow?

I am worried about anesthesia causing exacerbation. The last time I was put under I was out of it for 2 months (according to my husband). I had ill effects 40 years ago with anesthesia also. They have "noted" this but it does not make me feel any less anxious.

I have the colonoscopy this upcoming Tuesday and I’ve been dragging my feet about it. I’m going, of course. I’ve just been feeling dread of wondering if I unintentionally harmed myself from taking Iron for so long because I was misdiagnosed. And, I don’t fault the doctors for it.

What is the recommendation for holding off the medication, in my case, Pirtobrutinib (platelets 120), for a colonoscopy?Thanks

Is there anything I can do to help this until I get a colonoscopy? I also don’t eat gluten as I cut it out years ago. Many thanks 🙏🏼

Help - have a colonoscopy on Monday morning at 8am and supposed to take my second dose of Plenvu at 5.30! Worried about my journey to the hospital - should I have have stopped going to the toilet by 7.30?

So such a shock, two weeks ago, I record an over 400, positive fit blood test and referral to the 14 day fastrack colonoscopy. Just also to add, weight has been falling off me. So today I have had my colonoscopy, which was so much easier than I thought, with no pain or discomfort.

Hello everyone, I had a colonoscopy last week Wednesday, Everything went well. Im pretty much back to normal. Although I got a migraine today, and the hospital gave me instructions not to take NSAIDs for 7 days since they removed polyps.
