Hi
I had a colonoscopy end of April and two biopsies of the rectum and colon.
Can anyone advise roughly how long they'd take to come back in BlackRock hospital?
Thanks
Had a very easy prep.
It was slow to start but wasn't bad when it did. No urgency
5pm and 5am moviprep with appointment for 7am.
Chilled in fridge and didn't find it too bad
Was worried as passed a little solid stool at 5.45am but was fully liquid by 7.30am
Was concerned as was slightly darker yellow but was deemed adequate/satisfactory
Sedation was light and I was able to listen to the consultant as she did it.
Overall not a bad experience and wouldn't dread it again if I have to ❤️
Has anyone here herd of a case of proctitis that wasn't an IBD.
I have very high calproctein. Lower left abdominal pain, lots of mucus and some blood.
Confirmed proctitis via colonoscopy
Doctor thinks it could be medicine induced and to stop medicine and begin treatment . She believes it will be gone then
I'm awaiting biopsies but just wondering are there many cases of high calproctein but it not being an IBD
Thanks
I wrote last week about going for my second colonoscopy after 10 years but new symptoms of blood and mucus and lower left abdominal pain Had a very high calproctein too
Turns out I have proctitis this time. Biopsies sent to confirm if it's an IBD or medicine induced reaction. She's hoping it's medicine induced and will go away with treatment.
Still a diagnosis of IBS for the bloating etc though
Should know in 6 weeks.
I've been on 60mg since January and lower dose before. Today a colonoscopy revealed proctitis and the gastrologist said she thinks it's drug induced from roaccutane and to come off it immediately
Had this happened anyone?
