Hmm...can you be more specific about your symptoms as you see them? That might be helpful!!! I get gas, bloating, some cramping (mostly trapped gas), and constipation (those are my IBS related symptoms anyway). I've had both the colonoscopy and upper endoscopy (and the barium upper GI for that matter). Endoscopy is a piece of cake! Colonoscopy...sip the fleet phospho or whatever they give, you don't chug it, and you should be ok. Make sure you have a good book to read--and get the television ready with a good movie! It's not so bad--and if you need help/support...most of us have been through it!
I'm SO SORRY you're going through so much pain right now--I hope you get to the bottom of things soon and that you begin to get better ASAP!
