I tried to reply to this letter before from Kelly that I do not drink ANY alcohol period!

Anyway Millie, My first Colonoscopy I started feeling awful as everything was starting to wear off. The pain was very sharp and intense, and I was sobbing. Come to find out, there looked to be a suiture and my gastro tried to pull it out, wrong thing to do. My next colonoscopy there was no suiture, but again painful afterwards. Maybe it's because everything is just stirred up? It only shows the inside of your colon, what about outside of it where the bowels can possibly be wrapped around your colon? It doesn't show that. for me, before during and after bowel movements I rip and tear as the poop (sorry) goes through. Maybe as the instrument they use goes through the same thing happens? Also drinking the prep stuff to cleanse your colon makes you run to the bathroom to go. If I end up having too frequent of bowel movements I rip and tear from going so much. I hope that you are feeling better. I went through an unreal day of swelling (distension) I had never been so swollen. My Husband looked at me and said something is terribly wrong! I had eaten a Banana and it did it! I also have gastroparesis. Being so uncomfortable, I called to speak with a nurse. She suggested Beano, Gas X etc. To help stimulate the bowel for everthing to start working again. The product needs to have simethicone in it. I'm not suggesting you have the same problem, but the Gas X and coffee did help things get moving again. I also was put on liquids. Good luck, and feel Better. Cheryl D.  > Date: Tue, 8 Dec 2009 21:46:45 -0600
