Hey Brenda!!!!! Its me! I want to take a stab at answering your question about being able to detect adhesions through a colonoscopy. I think there was another person who also said that their scope was negative. I don't think that there is anyway that adhesions can be detected through a colonoscopy or other type scope unless there is an obstruction that has occurred because of bowel strangulation. One of the numerous places adhesions do form is on the bowel, but, it is on the exterior of the bowel....not on the inside which is where your scopes are all focused. If you were obstructed or at least constricted they might be able to diagnose adhesions, but the lack thereof, of either of these things does not preclude a diagnosis of adhesions.

Love ya!! Karla
