No doubt. Washes those guts from the outside in.

So glad they make seatbelts for toilet seats now.......

The point is by the end your bowl should be almost clear.

Also your movement should sound like pouring a bucket of water into the bowl.

Then you're ready.

Everything go OK?

Well they ended up going in from both ends. I didn't know they scheduled that. No fissures but they said I had ulcers (plural) and large hemeroids (plural). The nurse that walked me out said I had alot going on in there. GRRRRRR

So....???? What about the hemorrhoids? What is the fix for that? Asking for a friend...

Sorry to hear you had to do a half and half, hope everything else will be okay

VA appointment tomorrow was already scheduled. Should get some kind of answers then.

If they used the same scope, hopefully they went in the most hygienic order

Ulcers and hemorrhoids are a relatively common cause of blood in the stool. Hopefully you get some answers tomorrow.

I went to a GI dr. Today to get a colonoscopy in October. No issues but they say to get one when you turn or are past 50.

Besides the flushing part, All I’ve heard was the benefits of knowing something bad is going on years in advance so you can deal with it before it’s cancer etc.

Gotta admit, that nap felt good didn’t it?

Have you had that cheeseburger yet?

The ACS actually recommends them even at 45 these days.. Apparently colon cancer is becoming more common among "younger" people (though we aren't sure why). It actually got a friend of mine a couple of years ago. And there are also hereditary risk factors, so if you have a family member who has had pre-cancerous polyps removed, you should bump the date even earlier.

I'm on the "frequent customer" program these days. I had a colonoscopy at 38 due to some other GI issues, and they found a couple of pre-cancerous polyps. Thankfully, my brother (age 48) did one a while after and was fine.

Beat me to it. Exactly right.
