Hey all, hope you're all well. You know, relatively.
I've had gastroscopy, sigmoidoscopy, barium follow-through, x-rays, Cat's, MRI, all sorts of bloods and stool tests...
Just had a capsule endoscopy on Thursday. Holy hell that was some hard prep... My week was like searching for recipes with 5-ingredients or less. Then like, those same 5 ingredients for a week. At least it was a nice break from food prep all day. And don't even get me started on the final 18 hours...
The capsule recorded everything from going in to coming out again. Floating there in the toilet like its own little disgusting rave or something.
My question really is: once this comes back all clear, what other tests are in the "pipeline"?
I remember the doctor mentioning a colonoscopy but I was unsure if it would still be relevant after the capsule went all the way through?
Also, any heads up on possible prep would be greatly appreciated!
Thanks a lot.
Best wishes,
Joey
