Great news, good for you! I had my first one in early Aug. they found one polyp. Had they found any with you prior to your clear one? I hope there’s hope for me that my next one will be clear. 🙏🏼
Thank you for caring for people beyond your client base. Your information helped me face, ease, and overcome my abject fear of this procedure. I obtained the agency to ask questions, to figure out what was right for me (within the protocols for prep), and I achieved my goal of getting an A+ in my personal Colonoscopy Class. In gratitude for a good result, I've donated to Lead From Behind (best name for a charity related to colon cancer, right?)
I’m glad I saw this video. I had a colonoscopy last Monday and had a small polyp removed. I noticed today that I’m having some bleeding - a week later.
Wow, I feel pretty lucky, just had mine yesterday. Prep was low residual diet 2 days out, prep day clear liquid only, 6 dulcolax at 10:00, then start 64 oz. Miralax 8 oz at a time every 15 minutes. Nothing at all after midnight. Procedure at 8:00. Everything went well, zero pain/discomfort. Like nothing ever happened. This was the first for me, am I just lucky or what?
I feel for you. I've had three all natural labor and deliveries and the after gas pain was about as close to that as I've experienced. Mine lasted close to 5 hours. I stayed in recovery an hour and a half, then was sent on my merry way. At home, all I could do was lay on my side on a heating pad and try to breathe. I'm glad I'm older because I'm not sure I'll ever have another colonoscopy again. That was brutal...
- please drink plenty of spring water, veggies & fruit to help with hydration. No sugars or hard foods like popcorn & chips. Your lining is probably fragile.
What abt ppl w low platelets (52) due to Infliximab side effects? Was prescribed Infliximab for prednisone resistant (3 tapers in 4 mos) refractory diarrhea after 4 monthly treatments of immunotherapy drug Imfinzi?
There is likely a genetic component that influences how the colon moves. For example it may be the gene for your colon’s smooth muscle does not contract well or uncoordinated. There may also be shared environmental factors - such as your family diet hasn’t had much fiber. While you may have different jobs etc. you may sit down to similar dinners because that’s what you grew up eating and it strikes you as entirely normal.
I still have major Gas Pain , Bloating and Cramps I had it yesterday But I ate heavy after my Colonoscopy which I should not have done It's also hard to pass gas 36 Hours later No Polyps Waiting for my Upper GI Biopsy
I think the Miralax is no good for me I have an inflammation in my entire stomach I did before both endoscopy and colonoscopy this is the first time I’m in pain.
Is it normal got one today 7:30 am. By 8 pm had burning sensation in my right side were my colon is not painful but just cool burning sensation had 2 small polybs removed
Just had my third last Friday. No polyps! Hurray! I’m 72, so maybe no more for me.

@@alexac921, no, polyps never found in any of my previous 2. I have IBS, so good to know that nothing major internally is causing my symptoms.

❤ what I noticed no one talks about or ask about is what happens if you get your period during a colonoscopy or if you start your period

Why would severe constipation run in a family, even with different lifestyles, male, female, active jobs, desk jobs, sporty or not sporty?

I have some Zofran. Should I take 1?
You should call the clinic where it was performed so you can be given real advice. They will have an on call doctor.
I took my Zofran. Always help me with pain, nausea, sleeping. Tums red chewable too helped.
@@kimwieczorek1879the zofran helps with nausea but not stomach pain
