Hello, I'm talking another poll. Has anyone had the 24 hour fecal fat test? Has anyone had poyps found during a colonoscopy? I've had every test known to modern science and everything has come back normal with the exception of these 2 things - they found and removed a polyp (I'm 46 BTW), and also found that my body is not absorbing fat properly - I had double the "normal" amount of fat in my stool. I keep reading that IBS does not lead to any physical problems, so these 2 things are causing me a little concern with my diagnosis of IBS. I'm scheduled for the camera pill next month which is the only test I've not had so far. This test is going to cost me $2,000 (my insurance deductible is $4,000 and it'll be the new year). My GI doc doesn't feel that it is necessary, but is willing to do it if it will help me sleep at night. I'd like to get your opinions if you don't mind.
I originally posted this in the living room and no-one responded - maybe it's because I was a newbie and wasn't sure which board to post it in so I'll try again here - I would greatly appreciate feedback!!
Also since my original post, I've found that SIBO can be another cause of the fat malabsorption so I'm going to have that test done as well.
