@artist101 Thank you for the info. no, darn it, didnt get your lost note...that happened to me a lot when I had long response.... next week will definitely ask for the CAlprotectin test first... since c.diff my bm's are paste unless I take Imodium... I have 2 dozen white facecloths for my use only and keep a pail with bleach and water in basement separate from other laundry... it's not a full time job but almost some days and dont eat fresh fruit and vegetables etc. which makes it worse. Found out recently thru a clinic doctor who was smart enough to order test for vitamin D that I was really really low, and also bottom end of Vit B.... no doctor has ever tested before or even asked what my diet is... I know, they are busy, and cant think of everything and I feel to blame for not enquiring about it as knew my diet was the pits and indoors a lot last 2.5 years.... but sometimes just get tired of being my own advocate over and over. Hope things turn out ok for you ... J.

@lacy2 Hi Lacy
I think you should also ask for the CT Colonoscopy NOW, rather than waiting. You are already suffering considerably from your symptoms, and certainly have plenty of evidence to ask for that too. There may be quite a wait for it. I got mine immediately because I was admitted to the hospital due to extreme diarrhea and blackouts, ambulance, etc.
