hi i was diagnosed with ibs after 2 years of pains and tests. i had a colonoscopy as the final test which found i had an over-sensitive bowel
the colonoscopy was fine as you have an anaesthetic and you are asleep. But the night before they give you laxatives which make you run all the time(be prepared for it). The morning of the colonoscopy my back passage was very red and sore. then the decided to give me a bar- inenimun (think thats how you spell it). to make sure the bowels were completely empty. That wasnt very nice but not sore. hope you dont need that. All in all i think its more embarrasing than anything else, but if you are the same as me you will just be glad that they found out what it was and can give you medication to help it. Good Luck.
keep me posted to how you get on.
Colonscopy?
