Well, I had the procedure and they stated that everything looks absolutely fine, however waiting on biopsy results. Will get to see gastro on June 26th... I wonder what they're going to say? A tad nervous, as i think everyone, including myself, was hoping something would be spotted, due to my abdominal pain journey being 8 years now, with no results! Worried it's all a delusion! :)

Try not to worry, easy for me to say I know, but Ive been in your

position and sometimes there just doesnt seem to be anything that

could be causing the problem, silly as It seems. You have to be very

grateful that its nothing serious and try and get your head round

tackling your problem some other way, diet or something.

HI Amber rinni can you tell me what a Sigmoidoscopy is? are we talking about

something similar to a colonoscopy

Yeah, the only difference is a sigmoidoscopy only goes a 1ft into the colon.
