Any advice for gastro symptoms which respond to steroids, but no diagnosis? Does normal colonoscopy cover the small bowel?
My main question (apart from if any insights anyone might have) is – do people know if the small bowel is inspected during a normal
colonoscopy
? Is there any point in my going back and asking for a capsule endoscopy to inspect it in the vague hope there might some answer there?

PD Catherter
We just found out we have to do a colon cleanse for the PD Catherter Like if your were having a
colonoscopy
. Is there any alternatives besides drinking GoLytely. Has anyone done this that’s in a wheelchair and moves very slow to the toilet.

umbilical hernia with fat
I passed blood for 3 days and had abdominal pain for a year now, had blood loss from bowel end in April with excruciating pain so referred for
colonoscopy
, endoscopy and sigmoid and only found polyps in stomach that aren’t a worry or concern to cause bleeding.

Acute stress reaction
Adding to that I have to have a
colonoscopy
to be screened but am now having symptoms myself. I go this week for it but am struggling with anxiety right now. I can’t stop thinking about all the worst case scenarios and worrying about my sibling. My provider put me on both Xanax and Prozac.

RA Microscopic colitis investigation update.
Well I had the
colonoscopy
2 days ago with sedation/gas and air so they say. Me no way 😩 anyway won't go into detail about the test and the bowel prep 😱 4 samples of the colon was taken so now the waiting game for results. At least if the results are positive it can be treated.

What exclusionary tests should I ask my doctor for? IL-6 inflammation tests? + other random PMR questions
Last random questions: I recently decided to not get a
colonoscopy
/upper endoscopy to rule out GI issues because of the high cost (I live in the U.S.).

Struggling at the moment
He has had various blood tests and a
colonoscopy
which have all been ok. They have arranged for a rectal ct scan tomorrow to eliminate (hopefully) the possibility of bowel cancer .

Officially Starting HD
It's better than prep for
colonoscopy
, I suppose.) The nearest dialysis center is 40 miles from my house. Not so bad, but they have no empty chairs/slots available. Fresenius is ready to send me to an alternative site 81miles(one way!) away, until the nearer center has an open slot.

Stress on liver?
I’m wondering if having a
colonoscopy
and endoscopy would put a lot of stress on an already compromised liver. Would the anesthesia drug they use harm the liver? Anyone have experience with this?

Octasa / Mesalazine - Should I be seeing more of a change?
Had
colonoscopy
and relevant tests and doctor says that I likely have crohns and is treating me as such. I had steroids for 3 months which generally helped (though my calprotectin was higher after the course) and I started Octasa 800mg (6 a day) about 2 months ago.

Urgent please help:(
They want to do a
colonoscopy
next week, and they think it'll tell them more. But I know that this pain is something to do with my periods. I get bad pains after I have sex. So I'm so lost. Anyone had similar experiences?

colonoscopy prep with nafld nash
I’m wondering if anyone else has had trouble (due to liver disease) with
colonoscopy
prep. Not fun for anyone…but I got so sick last time it took my liver over a month to calm down.
