So my mother had a colonoscopy done and she forgot to ask her doctor about the cause of there being hemorrhoid’s in the last portion of the small intestine. The last portion is found to be the ileum, because it goes from duodenum, jejunum, to the ileum. Does anyone know the cause of there being hemorrhoid’s there? All help appreciated! Thanks!

I have to have a colonoscopy in a week. My doctor said to purchase a bowel cleanser from my local drugstore. Can anyone recommend a good colon cleanser that will empty my bowels? What have you taken prior to having a colonoscopy?

I wasn’t paying attention to the color of the jello i was eating the day before my colonoscopy, when i bit into it i realized it was the wrong kind (red) and spit it up. I believe i swallowed a little piece of the jello, and im worried that i may throw my exam off…. Should i reschedule or will I be fine?

I need a colonoscopy but am uninsured. Colon cancer is prevalent in my family and I am long overdue for this test.

I’ve had some problems with my stomach for a few years now and think that I might have celiac disease. I had a colonoscopy 3 years ago and my intestines looked fined, so does that mean I don’t have celiac disease or would celiac disease not show up in a colonoscopy?

My doctor didn’t say when.

My father is 83, and very fragile, with extreme mobility issues. His doctor suggested a colonoscopy simply because he’s never had one and he’s "over 50". The prep alone will be hell for him, as he’s diabetic, and the trips to the bathroom will put him at extreme risk for falling, as he can barely walk now. Is this really necessary? He has no symptoms or gastric problems.

I started eating a gluten free diet about a week ago and I will be having a colonoscopy in a few weeks. I have not been diagnosed with a gluten intolerance but I think that is what I have.
