Well, I survived the 2 mag citrates, 4 liters of TriLyte and Fleets enema and had the colonoscopy this am. Dr. was late and the air conditioning in the procedure room would not turn off - wasn't sure if I was going to die from a panic attack or freeze to death first!! I was awake enough to feel quite a bit of discomfort - don't remember that from 2000. Dr. said no polyps but he took biopsies. In the nice little photos one gets with the procedure - 2 pics are labeled "colitis?" = Do they always take biopsies in a colonoscopy? I take Lotronex for IBS-D, and he didn't say anything about changing meds. I'm supposed to leave in a few days on a five to six month trip to Nova Scotia, Newfoundland and Labrador, but I guess I have to wait now for the biopsy results. Would appreciate any information about the biopsy procedure being normal or not. In the meantime, I'm just glad to be able to read in the living room again!!Thanks.pmc
