colon cleansing is advertised constantly on my local radio station, I go for a colonoscopy every 3 years will this show if I have a membrane that the cleansing is suppose to remove ???
read the question before passing judgement,,,I don"t go around looking for an enema

There appears to be a range of discretion in the medical literature about treating a proliferation of precancerous ("adenomatous") colon polyps – from periodic surveillance colonoscopy with polectomy, to surgery to remove some or all of the colon? What are the factors and considerations a patient and doctor should consider in determining an appropriate course of treatment within this range of options?

Just had a colonoscopy but now have to have barium enima because colonoscopy would not check everything. Had barium enema several yrs ago and was very simple (done in doctor’s office) doctor and nurse. Colonoscopy was done at hospital surgical wing. A bunch of nurses, etc. Much more involved. Same thing for wife a few yrs ago. As an added thoght Is this a scam for goughing insurance?
Clarifyy question: why do
a colonoscopy that may not answer problems and then do a barium enema. Why not do the barium enema first?

I recently had a colonoscopy and this is what they found. It wasn’t fun. I also have a gallbladder with a "0" percentage refraction(?), a heital hernia, acid reflux and a hyperactive small bowel. I am a slender, young, attractive female with terrible gastro issues! I currently take no medications of any kind. Can anybody help?

After having a colonoscopy, the surgeon informed my family that I still had bowel in my small intestines, how in the world could that be after taking 4 dokolax pills with a large glass of water and taking 64 OZ’s of Matrix which took over 2 hours, what would cause this?

And how does one get screened for Intestinal cancer?

Colon cancer runs in my family and I have a colonoscopy every year. But I found out that a close relative has Intestinal cancer.

My dog has chronic colitis. We have ruled out parasites (done fecal tests) and food allergies (we’ve done a food trial already). The next step will likely be a colonoscopy from what I’m told. Has anyone had a dog who underwent a colonoscopy – if so, how much did it cost? In the thousands or hundreds of dollars? I’m just curious.

My grandma did a colonoscopy which came back good today..she is having severe diarrhea though. Is this normal? For how long does this continue? Is it ok to give her some diarrhea medicine?

She had a bowel obstruction about a week ago, but it is now cleared.

Anyone ever had a colonoscopy done? I am having it done next week and was wondering what to expect. Do I need to take the day off before the procedure due to running to the bathroom all day?
