    Pain above belly button?

    So my GI's are always shocked or whatever when I tell them where I have most of my pain. It's almost always right above my belly button in the center. And the pain happens ALOT after I eat.

    Hair loss?

    Drink with fleet?

    Got a colonoscopy coming up in the next couple of weeks and I'm SO dreading drinking the fleet. I've tried it with Sprite and 7up, and Gatorade. Is there ANYTHING anyone would recommend that will help it go down easier? What are some things y'all have tried?
