Hi Laina

My doc did a sigmoidoscopy first and then a colonoscopy later. Why don't you wait and see what they find with the sigmoid. and then if you're still worried, ask to have a colonoscopy?

Btw, a colonoscopy is a much bigger deal than a sigmoidoscopy, so maybe your doctor just doesn't want to put you through the extra stress if it isn't neccessary.

Keep an eye out for blood tho - getting this regularly is not a good thing, although occasionally seems to be par for the course with bad IBS.

Chin up!
