Hello. I have had ibs-d maybe from pelvic radiation damage although they say thats healed by now; cdiff in 2018 and since then fecal incontinence. I dont want another colonoscopy at 77 and many other illnesses and my family just noticed a test called Faecal calprotectin. Would I be in line to ask a doctor for this test.. I have no family dr just a walkin clinic and emerge dept. Thanks.J. Ontario

@lacy2 Hello Lacy. I'm 85, and just had a CT Colonography, because the doctors say I'm too big a risk for the more invasive Colonoscopy. I've also had the Faecal Protectin test, which was elevated. My advice is that you certainly can ask a doctor for those tests. Both were covered by my public Healthcare.

I just had a colonoscopy at age 78. I deal with the same issues as you and still have no luck. I had a procedure yesterday to check anal muscles. I see the Dr. on Thursday with the results of the procedure.
