Hi, had another flare up yesterday, after being reasonably ok for the last 3 weeks = I've really cleaned up my diet and yesterday was the result of a day out with friends, tea and cake and a slice of quiche. So difficult to find anything I actually enjoy eating at home, let alone at a restaurant.

Varying results on FIT tests
I have had IBS for decades so thought I had just been having a bad flare up of that for the past month. Stools were very dark but no visible red blood. I took a home FIT test one day to make myself feel better (it didn’t) and it quickly came up positive. Hoping it was faulty test, I repeated the next

Prucalopride
I had an appointment with the gastroenterologist last week and she has advised that I have IBS-C. Previously she advised I had SIBO and was prescribed rifaximin. That antibiotic did not solve my problem. I am suffering with excessive gas, trapped wind and bloating. I have been on laxido for around

Fecal Calprotectin & CRC
Hey all, I am waiting on a colonoscopy I have scheduled for June 27th due to some symptoms and have a question for you all. Did any of you that got a CRC diagnosis have a really low fecal calprotectin score? I have been worried (as we all are) about what will be found on this colonoscopy, but I had a

Confused about relatives diagnosis and treatment for colon cancer
Grandad is 87, diagnosed with colon cancer at the beginning of the year. Only symptom was rapidly decreasing iron in blood.They said he had stage T4 and that they were going to do an operation to remove the cancer. They did just that last week. Doctors said they had removed the cancer and he was released

It’s now May 2024 and I’ve had a total of two colonoscopies and one sigmoidoscopy since 2020 and they have found the following: hypertrophic anal papillae(basically a benign fibrous polyp that many gi doctors regard as a skin tag), internal hemorrhoids and one external friable hemorrhoid, small divericula

3 failed coloscopies
I have had three failed colonoscopies in the past, one being totally horrifically painful. Due to the growth of very large polyps one over 2cm I am being asked to have another colonoscopy. To say that I am terrified is an understatement. I was told by the consultant 10 years ago that I was a very

colonoscopy perforation risk
I saw my PCP and told him there was rectal bleeding and he immediately said I need a colonoscopy. However, the last time I had one I almost got a perforation. The doctor had to stop the procedure. That was a year ago. During the procedure I felt a burning, searing pain which was not normal so I know

Iodine and Povidone - A Chemistry Lesson
Over the years, we have seen many mentions of povidone-iodine. This video is the first time I have ever come across a proper explanation as to why povidone-iodine is chosen! It then continues with its aim of extracting pure iodine from povidone-iodine. The video could be very boring if you are

Cholestyramine
My husband has had explosive diarrhea since mid February. 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?

Colonoscopy v Colonography
Has anyone else been told they have a loopy bowel and it is not advisable to have a colonoscopy anymore. They recommended ct colonography, but i am worried about the amount of radiation this needs. Apparently 2yrs normal exposure in one go. Anyone else had this predicament?
