Thanks, Celia. Isn't it too bad so much of our time is spent dealing with abominable abdominal
issues?

I'm 96! and I don't think they do colonoscopies on OLD people -- something about the gallon of fluid you have to drink (or the after effects) or any meds you need to take to put you half under.
I've had a pretty healthy life, really, so can't complain. I just lost a son-in=law to Crohns (short bowel syndrome) last week. He was 73.

GOOD LUCK AGAIN WITH YOUR SIBO.

Oh my! I’m sorry for your loss. Please accept my condolences.

96 years tells me you are doing a lot of things right! I’m impressed. I understand about the colonoscopy. My last one in October went fine, but the prep was horrible. I won’t do that one again. It was rough on my body and I’m much healthier and strong than I was back in 2021 when I had my first one.
