I had a Colonoscopy done a few weeks ago. They found inflammation in my intestines and colon. They removed a polyp and also found bacteria in my stomach. A bad habit that I have is when I eat lunch at work, I never eat the whole meal. I cover it back up and leave it on my desk. Then I just pick at it all day without heating it up. I was recently informed that bacteria grows on food that sits out. Do you think this is the cause of the bacteria that was found in my stomach? They prescribed me a PrevPac and I'm hoping it will help. I am just curious if this may be the reason and if so, I'll start heating my food and put it in the fridge. I'm a little weird - I don't like most of my food reheated because it dries it out. However, I also recently found out that decreasing the microwave power helps, so I can put an end to this. I'm just curious if this may be the reason. I won't see my Dr again for a few weeks. And I go for the SBFT test this Friday (UGH!). I have to drink the white thick chalky stuff that everyone is telling me is horrible! And then they will take pictures every 10-15 mins as it moves through my digestive system. Then after those results, I'll have to swallow a pill with a camera in it. Good times!
