I'm sorry that you may have crohns but at least you know what it is and it can be treated. Thanks for letting us know. Hugs
It went ok. Thank yall for the prayers. My colon was fine but i had severe inflammation in my upper/small intestines which they took biopsy and i should know in about a week. Dr said with my symptoms and the way my intestines looked, she thinks i have crohns.
Good luck. You can do this. Drink lots of apple juice . it will keep your blood sugar up
I have had several scopes and unfortunately they are not much fun. We can deal with anything for a few days especially after dealing with fibro. I ate jello and popsicles but make sure no red purple or blue. Chicken broth does help the hunger too. My big suggestion to anyone having a scope is to get a & d ointment and use it before you start going to the bathroom. It will keep you from getting raw. Sorry if this is tmi, but it helps a lot. Good luck and remember its only 2 days between the prep and scope. You can do it.
