Cherry, you're gonna have to trust me on this: the colonoscopy procedure is a snap. I was blown away. Truly, it was a piece of cake. They give you the best drugs you've ever had, and you're sent off to dreamland immediately, then when you wake up, it's all over and you literally float outta there. It was fabulous!
Okay, so the prep wasn't so nice -- you know, the day before. But if you're a D person, like I am, you're used to sitting on the pot a lot. That's what you have to do -- just drink a lot of icky laxative and sit on the pot. If you can get past that, you've got it made.
Now, about your first question. Yes, it does get easier. Once you have it figured out (and it does take awhile), and follow the program without cheating (I wouldn't give up my beloved cuppa), you'll start feeling better, then in time you'll be stable and very seldom have an attack.
Of course, you realize you gotta cut out that ice cream first!
Feel better soon -- Bev
