Have you been tested for Gardner's Syndrome?

[Sunione]

Gardner's Syndrome is considered to be rare. However the main symptoms sound somewhat like Crohn's or colitis. Some of the symptoms are multiple colon polyps, chronic and/or frequent diarrhea (often bloody), intestinal blockages, cysts, fibroid or fatty tumors anywhere in or on the body and, if the colon is not removed, colon cancer. I am curious to know if anyone here has been told about this disease or tested for it.

Those with Gardner's have a 100% risk of developing colon cancer if their colon is not removed :eek2:. More information on Gardner's Syndrome can be found here:
