Irritable Bowel Syndrome Message Boards

Karen, Oh my, my you did have a time of it. I feel for ya!!! I thought I had a bad time with my colonoscopy. I threw up after the procedure due to the pain meds. I didn'thave too much trouble with the gas afterwards but I do remember for a few days still passing yucky stringy, kinda bloody stuff (sorry for the description). I guess the scope kinda cleans ya out I guess.

I too had pain apparently during my procedure cause I said ouch at one time and they upped my drugs. I don't remember it but that's what they told me. You said since you are petite they said they had trouble rounding the corner. I should have informed you with my last post that they actually used a pediatric colonoscopy on me cause I too am petite. I had been down to 83lbs before my test(I'm now stable at 91lbs) I had c-diff which is a terrible infection caused from antibiotics so I had lost A LOT of weight before they discoved it was c-diff. Maybe next scope you can suggest a pediatric one. Hopefully though they told you the same thing they told me. Don't need another for 10 years! Woo Hoo!!!!

I'm so glad your results turned out ok. Now, you like all the rest of us can officially say you have IBS and only that!
