Around 7 today. I'm on pre prep day for colonoscopy which is Thursday so low residue diet today and clear liquids tomorrow after an early brekkie. I'm more dreading the no milk in coffee tomorrow than the lack of food. Going to start being productive and get a chicken roasting in the air fryer...

...eat is made from scratch so I know exactly what goes into my food. I was constipated for over a year before I went on metformin and had a colonoscopy which showed up a small polyp which was removed. I stopped taking Tramadol and within a month normal bowel movements were restored. I am...

Some of them have the…opposite effect for me. The worst one was a bottle of Dr Pepper zero. I think our toilet should have been fitted with a seatbelt! Worse than the “moviprep” I had to take before a colonoscopy!

Thanks for your response! We’ll definitely invest in some sudocrem. He says he’s not too worried about the prep - it sounds like it will be fairly similar to what he experiences on a daily basis!

Hear hear to the barrier cream for his poor forcibly overworked bum. First time I had a colonoscopy one could still get zinc & castor oil cream from pharmacies but since then - because husband had prostate cancer which was removed, and followed by radiography which didn't help put brakes on the...

Hope the test results come through speedily, and help provide some understanding. The weight loss must be quite worrying for you both :( Do let us know what they find out, and hopefully it will point the way to a better treatment plan. Those on the forum who take Creon for PEI comment how...

...but the GP has finally worked out how to order a fecal elastase test to see if it’s pancreatic enzyme insufficiency so he’s waiting on results for that. He’s also got an appointment about a colonoscopy on the 20th. Even on insulin he’s still losing a lot of weight and feeling pretty terrible.

...(or others in the NSAID category). Calprotectin was 1148 on a single test and no repeat test requested as they went straight to urgent colonoscopy option (which is 28th). I'm not sure if I want them to find something or not at this point. Tired of GP roulette in finding one who will listen...

My friend (not diabetic ) Had the same symptoms and had a colonoscopy It transpired she had multiple polyps which were removed and that cured the problem.

...bloating, cramping, nausea and lack of appetite. Calprotectin results say - significant inflammation in large bowel and waiting for colonoscopy to investigate. Rough day yesterday. Have been constipated for a number of days but yesterday turned into a game of how many times can you run to...

I've had only one colonoscopy, but many gastroscopies. I found them a doddle. No sedation of any sort, no discomfort. The laxative was an experience! Nothing happened for a few hours, not like suggested in the notes. I even rang them and they said be patient, and they were right. Blimey! I...

...flick my phone on to check as I've forgotten by the time I get on the pc sometimes with my caffeine starved sleepy brain :rofl: Got my colonoscopy pack in today (made a separate thread about that) so gotta make some calls and make some arrangements with that. Working on the "pile o'...

Hey all. Got my super fun looking pack in today for the appointment (28th Sept - 9am slot). Have some questions for all that have gone before me. (I'm T2 on MDI with libre) It says I need to call my team for insulin guidance. (yeah not counting on that happening in a timely manner but I will...

...to get libre added). So far lunch was -4 from start point on 10g carbs/2u. Got a letter in todays post to make an appointment for a colonoscopy so that's booked for 28th I think of next month. Not sure if I hope they find a reason or not for the constant tummy things if you know what I mean...

Given what you are goiing through that does not qualify as a rant - please re-score as a well justified mild complaint! I do hope you get a decent consultaion asap and a quick resolution. Large hugs.

What, I am saying if you go private, You chose the consultant. So look for a consultant at the private hospital, if he is wrong he will refer you to the correct specialist. I am going to put my pennies worth in here and 30 years ago the condition of Diverticulitis, is extremely difficult to...

...for the consultation I was told I should have been referred to Lower GI and he was Upper GI! He was very nice and kind and organised a colonoscopy for me. I was then referred to a Colorectal Surgeon after getting results from colonoscopy ( which took 10 weeks) and he wrote to me and told me...

Thanks so much for sharing your story! It’s reassuring to know that someone else has similar experiences.

...end of last year, that I was quite worried about leaving the house. My GP was very thorough and the blood tests proved diabetes but the colonoscopy showed inflammatory bowel disease - most likely Crohn's but not 100% confirmed. At the subsequent gastro appointments, we have discussed the...

Very high level of blood glucose can cause diarrhoea, but it would be accompanied by also being very thirsty, urinating a being very tired. Of course, each one of us is different, and not everyone get the same exact combination of symptoms. In my case, instead of diarrhoea I got constipation...
