That is so interesting. I just had a colonoscopy at Mayo and the GI besides removing polyps also noted that mucous was granular so he took biopsies throughout the entire colon for possible microscopic colitis. Fortunately I was negative for it.
And what I now tell everyone is that even if you are near "aging out" from colonoscopies, do them!!! In 2010 I had 2 10mm precancerous polyps, but in 2013 and 2018 I only had 1 and 2 polyps found and they were not precancerous. So that period was eight years and no cancerous polyps.
Then in 2024 - 14 years from 2010 and 5+ years from last colonoscopy, they find 3 polyps - each a different type and all precancerous!!! And one even 12mm!!!

Am also impressed that Bactrim caused you C-diff as I have been given it more than once with the statement that it is relatively safe.

I’ve had it before myself. But this time was different for unknown reasons. Perhaps because my colon was so inflamed at that point.

Are you 75 years or older? If not, will you continue colonoscopies after age 75?
