Update on colonoscopy
I posted a few weeks ago about an aborted
colonoscopy
due to onset of AF triggered by stress of bowel cleansing prep (Moviprep). The objective of procedure was to see if any gastric issue causing blood loss / anaemia/ very low iron.

COLONOSCOPY AND GASTROSCOPY TOMORROW
Hi everyone, having my first
colonoscopy
and gastroscopy tomorrow, to say I am stressed is an understatement, keep imagining all sorts of things, any advice on how to handle the anxiety would be greatly appreciated.

Colonoscopy and pred
I'm having a
colonoscopy
on Thursday. I have been told to leave off the 2mg pred I take early morning until after the procedure (the appointment is for 10.30am). The same for all my other meds except amlodipine which I can still take.

colonoscopy prep
The good news is that means I may avoid the
colonoscopy
the bad news is it’s a womb issue but at least a step nearer diagnosis . Thanks again for all your support x

Cholestyramine
After blood tests, stool samples,
colonoscopy
, and more stool samples, they are not able to determine what is causing the diarrhea. The doctor has prescribed Cholestyramine. Has anyone had experience with this medication and did it help?

Fit rest
Had a
colonoscopy
and all was well. Now definitely blood in my stools. I hope I don't have to go through that again.

chronic rectal bleeding, colonoscopy normal
What could it be if they didn’t see anything when doing the
colonoscopy
? Any input is appreciated. Excuse the picture but this is an example of the amount of blood and sometimes I have clots, and more blood than this. thanks

Colonoscopy polyp worries
The
colonoscopy
was clear apart from a 4mm sessile polyp in my rectum. The nurse said that this isn't cancer. She was quite firm on this. It's being sent off as a matter of course as a routine pathology. 6-8 weeks she said.

Inflammation on colonoscopy
Hi everyone I had a
colonoscopy
today after around a year of diarrhoea, constipation, bleeding, tenesmus, BM at least 5x day and huge amounts of mucus. Lots of biopsies were taken and there were a couple areas of inflammation in my distal rectum, also some small haemorrhoids further down.

Had results but still confused 🤷🏻♀️
They suggested colitis at the time, the CT scan of upper colon area that couldn’t be reached during
colonoscopy
shows a thickening and narrowing of the sigmoid colon…this could be in relation to inflammatory bowel disease or indeed due to my history of endometriosis.

I'm 75 years old and during a colonoscopy today, my doctor found 10 precancerous plops and one, malignant-looking mass at the end of colon.
I got the
colonoscopy
only after taking Equius for newly diagnosed A-fib, which caused rectal bleeding. I did not have a
colonoscopy
before. I never had any symptoms before, and I have not lost weight or am I anemic now. However, it appears I have colon cancer in my lower rectum.

Colonoscopy and Prednisolone
I understand the medication I need to take prior to the
colonoscopy
causes complete evacuation of the bowels and I’m worried I may not absorb the pred/adcal. Any advice would be welcome.

so anxious
I’ve been having such bad bloating so I was told to get a
colonoscopy
. I have it Friday. This is my first one and I’m so scared. The thought of not being able to eat for 30 hours scares me. I’m also so scared the prep will make me throw up

still not 100%
I tested Thursday before my
colonoscopy
and was negative. Other than getting the procedure I didn’t go anywhere. I’m hoping it’s not Covid. I don’t have any tests anyway
