thank you for your reply! wow you've been through the ringer on this colon thing. My hope for you is that the test shows no polyps!
I was in the ER ten days before my colon because of abdominal pain. Just severely backed up. Interestingly enough not much poop in the low portion of the colon. It was getting stuck along the way. ER doc suggested more fiber.
My colon surgeon/doctor has suggested high fiber to help. The fiber foods are making it all worse. I've been bloated for days. If I drink more, it makes it worse. I had a horrible experience yesterday at work and was so very bloated. Painful. I have determined that I will not eliminate fiber but I will try smaller meals of low FODMAP foods for two weeks and see what happens.

My colon surgeon/doc called me after. Longest colon they've ever seen. Said it was very twisty. Cautioned me to go to doc anytime I feel severe pain because a twist can block and needs emergency care. He says I am low risk for cancer with two clear tests so maybe there will be other screening techniques for me in the future. I'm 62 now. I'll avoid that 72 test!
Thank you for reaching out to me. I wish you well
