Colonoscopy yogurt
Common Questions and Answers about Colonoscopy yogurt
colon
I have had every blood test and stool test under the sun, as well as a abdominal CT scan, abdominal ultraound ( liver and GB fine) colonoscopy, and endoscopy. My question is, how frequently do colonoscopies miss something? I'm scared I might have a tumor. It was done by a gastroenterologist in Minneapolis. Does anyone have any idea?
Thanks!!!
I am 45 year old male with constipation and mild right side abdominal pain, i also have experieinced pretty significant lower right side back pain but recently have moved so i do not know if the back pain and constipation are related. I had a colonoscopy 2 years ago after a postive FOB test and only one small polyp was found that was benign. My appetite is good and other than the change in boewl habits during the last few weeks i have no other symptoms that could be considered colon cancer like.
I have read that the anesthesia used for colonoscopy, Proprofol, can cause the body to excrete excessive uric acid thus causing some patients to have a gout attack afterwards.
Anyone here know of any preventative measures to take? Last colonoscopy was in 2018 and I carried a bottle of Black Cherry juice to the hospital which had always cut the attack down a lot. It is said to help flush uric acid from the body. I drank it on my way home.
Eat yogurt it contains probiotic that helps to digest lactose properly(before you buy yogurt read on it what it contains it usually says what probiotics it contains and how it helps your stomach). By the way the best fruit to eat with lactose intolerance is grapefruit preferably with the white skin) or drink 100% grape juice.I eat grapefruit every day as it helps with digestion.
You probably just have a *lazy bowel.* I have had this my whole life. I take stool softeners and eat yogurt and fiber. If the colonoscopy came out OK, I wouldn't worry. You can also try a fiber supplement like FiberCon or Benefiber and see if that works.
This might be a dumb question but is it safe to eat yogurt while prego?
Erythromycin is notorious for goofing up the digestion. All in the world that has happened to you is, antibiotics kill all the bacteria, the "good" and bad, both. You need the "good" bacteria in your digestive system, to help break down waste. So, to restore good bacteria and thus better digestion, you need acidophilus, which is the probiotics you mentioned, and you can buy it either as acidophilus milk or "Activia" yogurt, in the grocery store.
We need this for good digestion, and when it gets depleted, we end up with bowel problems. Try eating some yogurt everyday enriched with probiotics and see if this helps. You should see a difference within 2 weeks. Increase your fiber as well. If none of this helps then I would see a Gastroenterologist for an evaluation. Did you have your colonoscopy at 50 like we all need to do? If not, you need to do this as well. Take care!
Blood tests will help detect infections, besides stool examination which will reveal malabsorption. Colonoscopy and flexible sigmoidoscopy are procedures which are used to study the whole colon for infections and inflammations. Bacterial overgrowth is tested with a breath test. So, if your symptoms persist, discuss this with your doctor. Try to include yogurt in your diet as it is a probiotic which replaces lactobacillus acidophilus (good bacteria) that helps with digestion. Regards.
I know they will want to do a colonoscopy and I am Terrified of that as well. Mainly because I am scared about what they will find.
there has been some kind of viral thing going on and some of the people I worked with have had the sme symptoms and their doctor had told them it would have run its course. The ER doctor told me to just to eat some yogurt and she wrote me a prescription for zantec.
Anyway, does any of the above warrant a trip to the GI doctor for a colonoscopy? Do I need to have a colonoscopy done Did the CT scan show everything? My symptoms have subsided tremendously.
Obviously you need to see a doc right away. There are medicines like hyoscyamine that relax bowel spasms and stop diarrhea-type symptoms. Most likely you have a bacteria in your gut that is causing all these crampy symptoms, which a doc can give you antibiotics for it. But there is also a chance with the blood symptom that you may have a growth that is obstructing passage of waste, and this must be ruled out!
colonoscopy, ultrasound, ct scan of pelvis and abdomen with contrast, cbc, metabolic, hida scan with ckk, stool tests including one time fecal fat test. upper endoscopy showed mild gastritis and gerd. However I just got results back from 72hr fecal fat test back(this is the test I have been asking for) and to my amazement it was normal. So its safe to say that my floating stool can't be caused by pancreatic cancer and its just my body is producing more gas.
I have the same diet, same exercise,I actually get more fiber now cause of this problem......I had a colonoscopy and it was fine...I had an endoscopy of esophagus 2 weeks ago and nothing wrong...last week I had an ultra sound on gallbladder and they checked all of my major organs and everything was fine...
