Have you ever had a colonoscopy?

[The Graduate]

This is my general philosophy on farting.

The prep takes all the fun out of it. Your system is so cleaned out at the end of the procedure, there is no smell to share with everyone.

Have had two now (price of getting old). Last one found four polyps, two pre-cancerous.

As others have said, the procedure is all pretty much under anesthesia, so it's nothing.

The prep? Oy :(

Don't remember the name of the stuff they give you to drink, but I refer to it as liquis--t.

Better to find out now than the alternative. I've had three for the same reason.

The stuff your talking about could be Fleet of Soda. They have new stuff out now that tastes like unsweetened Tang but is just as effective. Don't know why but the Soda took 48 hrs while this new stuff is taken the night before. Forget the name but it is pink something or something pink.

Hey people,

This may seem like a dumb subject for a message board but it could save your life. Don't hesitate to see a Dr. if you feel or see anything unusual going on. Blood in the toilet bowl is a good indication of polyps which is easily treated if caught early. Left alone, these little suckers could turn cancerous on you.

I haven't eaten white flour, white rice, sugar and other various refined white foods in months. Today I ate a 1/4 pack of saltine crackers, and some white rice. God, i hate being sick. I managed to get to the grocery store to pick up some clear juice, and gelatin. I'm planning on making some chicken & rice to eat tomorrow.

GI doctors have a great fascination with poop. My GI doc called me today because he wanted me to bring him some. That was horrible. Since I was already sick to my stomach at least I couldn't get any sicker by doing that.

That's a cool job to shove things up peoples ass's and get paid...nice.

Sounds like a gay pr0n recruitment saying....

It's a pain in the ass.

Huddle is disappointing more and more every day. :(

No doubt this is causing you a lot of worry. Don't sweat the Colonoscopy. It's really no big deal and more of a minor inconvenience. The positive side is you are in the medical system and being treated.

Did the poo thing as well. It may be a little embarassing but fug it. It's not like we are the first to provide a stool sample. Do you think you could handle pickled eggs and beans. If they're going to put you through this, Ya wanna make that sample smell good and ripe for them....make it wothwhile :D

Best of luck to you and I hope things turn out well.

I've had two. The last one, I woke up during the procedure and watched my insides on TV. I asked "is that me?" and the nurse said "yep sure is! You're squeaky clean!" very cheerily. Then I passed out again. :)

Not saying you are wrong but I've always heard your poop shouldn't float and that floating poop is indicative of a high fat diet.

vvv tmi alert! vvv

Having blood in your poop is fo sho a problem, which is why I'm getting the colonoscopy done in the first place. I wouldn't ordinarily be so worried but this is not the kind of thing like you've had a hearty poo and get blood streaks on the TP. It's more like you cant see anything else but blood in the toilet. :(

nobody ever wants to talk about it, but it's extremely important to get checked out every now and then...specially the guys...early detection makes a big difference
