Thank y’all so much! Sorry, I went MIA.. I’ve been fighting a miserable cold all weekend [emoji849]

I had my colonoscopy this morning.. I was a nervous wreck the entire time. The prep was horrible.. I ended up vomiting last night, but was still cleaned out enough to do the colonoscopy. My doctor was absolutely amazing. He was dressed up for festival season and said, “happy scopefest”.. lol...

Thanks y’all. I know I wouldn’t be typing if my colon was going to rupture, my coworker won’t stop talking about it though and it’s freaking me out.. lol [emoji849]

Hi! I went to see my doctor today. He is starting me on antibiotics and he moved my colonoscopy to this Friday. Thanks for all the support!

I am going to my doctor. He said if I start experiencing more pain & have more blood tonight to go to the ER.

Thank you! The only reason I’m freaked out is because my coworkers husbands colon ruptured because UC and it was his first flare. She’s freaking me out and won’t stop telling me the horror stories. 🤬

Thanks! I called this morning, I am waiting for the office to call me back. All last night and this morning I’m having stomach flutters, feels kinda like pregnancy baby movements in the beginning. It’s an odd feeling. Also, with the random sharp pain that comes and goes. Is this normal? I am...

Yes, I do. In metro New Orleans.

Hi! I’m still waiting for my colonoscopy that is scheduled for late next month, but I’m starting to experience pain now. When I had my first appt with my GI doctor a week and a half ago, I was not having pain, but now I am. My next door neighbor is a doctor and he think I should have been seen...

Thanks! I’m trying to stay positive, it’s just so stressful because of the unknown. I won’t know anything until the end of next month [emoji31]

I have and they put me on the cancellation list. I work with doctors and my neighbors is a doctor so they’ve all been checking on me. They told me if gets any worse I just need to go to the ER. I know everyone is different, but typically how long do ‘flare ups’ last? I’m so new to all of this...

Is excessive gas and diarrhea daily normal? I feel like I constantly have to be in range by a bathroom. I took my three kids to a birthday party on Saturday and had to leave them with my in laws and run home to use the bathroom. This awful.. I wish I could have gotten a colonoscopy sooner. My...

Went for my appointment today, after looking at my blood work he said he definitely does not think it’s hemorrhoids. He said the blood work shows a sign of Crohns, but my stool sample was negative for it. He did a rectal exam and did not find any hemorrhoids. He saw the blood & mucus though. He...

Thanks everyone! I am scheduled to see GI this Wednesday, I did have an appt with another GI this last week, but ended up canceling because of the negative reviews. Meaning, someone’s colon ruptured right after seeing him so I got to scared and scheduled with a highly recommended GI. I am still...
