Has anyone had testing for histamine intolerance or mast cell activation?
I know that as soon as we present certain symptoms and the regular tests like stool sample, upper GI scope,
colonoscopy
, stomach scan, etc. show nothing the diagnosis is IBS. Then what? Trial and error -seemingly mostly error. I have had IBS symptoms for years with no real help.

Questions about screening tests.
My oncologist says I don’t really need a
colonoscopy
or mammogram and my family doctor says I do. What are you all hearing or doing? I wonder if my CT scans are better than a mammogram? So confusing and as you all well know, I’m pretty darn tired of “procedures”. Thanks for any insight.

Blood in stool and lots on tissue but won’t let me post 2 pics
I really feel like they missed something and feel like they will want to do another
colonoscopy
. Or what do they do from here? I’m really not feeling well. Dizzy when standing.

Colonoscopy
I am having a
colonoscopy
next week at 2 o’clock so won’t be able to eat that day. Should I take my 13.5 Prednisolone without food or wait till I get home? I haven’t received the information pack from the hospital yet so not sure of the details.

Bowel obstruction after debulking surgery
I was all set to start chemo on Thursday after getting
colonoscopy
this morning. Unfortunately they found an obstruction. I had complete hysterectomy and debulking surgery 3.5 weeks ago. Getting a barium enema tomorrow to find out more where obstruction is.

Anyone had a surgeon who operates on a 'Frozen Pelvis' for a second time?
They can't do a
colonoscopy
and the sigmoidoscopy was incomplete because the 'obstructive pathology' meant the instrument could not get past the rectum. According to the medics, none of the above causes pain??????

Colonoscopy
Hi everyone I have a
colonoscopy
on Tuesday 14th. I’ve had one before this is a polyp check. I was wondering does anyone have any advice to make the whole thing easier prep and procedure. I’m worried that as I am a very large lady they won’t sedate me, any experience. Thanks everyone.

could this be colon cancer?
I am going to make an appointment with my gastroentorologist and i am sure he will order a
colonoscopy
. Appreciate any thoughts. I have added a picture of my poop from yesterday morning (left) and this morning (right).

Has anyone tried Nortriptyline or Amitriptyline?
In 2019 I had a
colonoscopy
, a gastroscope, several ultra sound scans and a ct scan. Nothing picked up, which is obviously good but I’m still in limbo land as to why I have these daily symptoms. I have spent a small fortune seeing private gastroenterologists, dieticians and so called Naturopaths!

Don't know what's going on
The ct showed a collapsed right side of my bowel so I was booked in for a
colonoscopy
which was carried out 10th December. The
colonoscopy
was only partially carries out as soon as the camera was put in they saw severe inflammation so it had to be stopped.

Nausea and irritable bowel syndrome with pudendal neuralgia
I’ve seen a gastroenterologist and he’s done all sorts of tests - endoscopy,
colonoscopy
, ultrasound. But nothing to find what’s causing it. I’ve been on FODMAP diet for months now and whilst it seemed to help at first the nausea and irritable bowel returned.

Confused ?
My fit tests was positive with high markers so I was referred for a
colonoscopy
in January. They took biopsies and told me there and then it was Crohns and gave me an 8 week supply of oral steroids.

PMR back
I have since had a CT
colonoscopy
and they can find nothing significant causing my bowel problems so probably pred triggered IBS. Anyway both my shoulders, upper arms, neck and upper back are painful and disturbing my sleep significantly (I struggle to turn over with the pain).
