After chatting with the GI for 10-15 minutes and him poking around and listening, he said he wants to do a colonoscopy. He's worried about the blood and how sever my symptoms have become recently. So, next Tuesday I go in. I almost put up with the pain and went to Taco Bell one last time! I stayed strong though! I knew I wouldn't want to deal with the next 2 days of D. Anyway, thought I'd keep y'all posted. He also wanted to go ahead and do the procedure b/c the NuLev wasn't doing anything for me. Y'all think this is too quick and drastic? He said that it sounds like IBS and most likely is, but he wants to make sure some other things aren't going on before we start working on the IBS. He said there are tons of options and treatments to help control that. I really liked him!
