Well, I'd switch GI docs. A colonscopy is truly no big deal. The worst part of it is the prep. And that's yucky, but not painfu. You're out of it when you have the colonscopy. Oddly enough, the sigmoidoscopy (which is technically less invasive) hurts more, because they give you fewer drugs. I'd get a doc who does the procedure well, and rest assured that if you do have Chrohns or ulcerative colitis, you want to know asap, so you can treat it, and if you don't, then you can move on. Steroids are just one option with these inflammatory bowel diseases, so don't assume the worst. Chrohns and ulcerative colitis are a more serious diagnosis, to be sure, that IBS, but that just means you need to be vigilant and on top of things. A good doctor will help. Sorry the doc was such a jerk.
