Guest guest Posted March 29, 2002 Report Share Posted March 29, 2002 I had a colonoscopy when diagnosed with celiac disease back in 1992. I'm happy to say that it didn't cause me discomfort or pain. Just the inconvenience of being " put under " . in WV There is in every true woman's heart a spark of heavenly fire, which lies dormant in the broad daylight of prosperity; but which kindles up, and beams and blazes in the dark hour of adversity. - Washington Irving Among those whom I like or admire, I can find no common denominator; but among those I love, I can: all of them make me laugh.

I'm puzzled at why you'd say you have a sensitive bowel because of 3 bowel movements/day when most that I've read of Dr. Schulze's writing indicates that 3 a day is actually optimal. I'd be interested to read it if you can give a url. thanks, rachel~ " Whether you think you can or think you can't, you're right " - Henry Ford Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted April 1, 2002 Report Share Posted April 1, 2002 Thanks for clarifying. The first post gave me the impression that you were connecting the sensitive bowel to the number of daily bowel movements. I get what you're saying now. thanks! rachel~ In a message dated 04/01/2002 9:43:42 AM Eastern Standard Time, suzanne_on_ca@... writes: << This is what gives me the idea that my bowel is sensative: - the excess intestinal gas and the " urgency " involved in needing to have a bowel movement. I am not always having such Urgent movements and can see a pattern with stress diet and other things. -I also know that I am very bunged up inside and full of scar tissue that holds my organs firmly together and immobile. Yes I read the interview online. I've tried to relocate it, but it's being elusive just now. It was an interview with Paolo Alto (I think). >> Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted August 31, 2002 Report Share Posted August 31, 2002 Thank you so much ~ Everyone is SO helpful on these lists!!!! THANKS!~Shari [ ] Re: re: Colonoscopy Hi Shari, Everything was normal so nothing needed to be treated. they did an endoscopy at the same time and found evidence of reflux which has been treated with Prilosec. It turns out all my son's bowl troubles were linked to food intolerance. Once I removed everybit of soy, even the lecithin he started having normal stools. He was also vomiting daily, but the Prilosec took care of that. --------------------------------- Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted October 14, 2004 Report Share Posted October 14, 2004 ROFL... Yep... I had one... that time of life about 5-6 years or so ago... it is uncomfortable... but I did find out some stuff... basically it looked good with a few little lumps or cysts which he removed while I was under... oh well.. I found out I was basically healthy so that was one good thing. I've had two in my lifetime... one was a minor one and I was not out... very uncomfortable.. the other was a major look and they knock you out for that one.. and you're sore afterwards to a degree but not bad.

Even if you don't practice proper bowel care you still don't need a colonoscopy. Talk about invasive procedures. A barium enema would do pretty much the same for telling you a lot about the condition of your bowels and is much less intrusive. But then with most everyone on the SAD I can see why it is fast becoming a standard procedure with the medicos. -- Peace, love and light, Don Quai " Spirit sleeps in the mineral, breathes in the vegetable, dreams in the animal and wakes in man.

Getting a colonoscopy? I don't believe so no. However, it is up to each individual to make their own decisions concerning whether they wish to obtain a colon scan or not. Educate yourself on what constitutes a proper diet for a human being, proper bowel care and management, proper care in general for you body and you won't need to worry about cancer or any other dis-ease, let alone invasive procedures. -- Peace, love and light, Don Quai " Spirit sleeps in the mineral, breathes in the vegetable, dreams in the animal and wakes in man.

We all have taken baby steps to get where we are now and are still taking them. You are on the right path and I have no doubt that eventually you will eliminate the meat altogether. When you are ready. Interesting stuff that sungazing. Very powerful. A Barium enema is usually done by an MD. Much safer than a colonoscopy (from my perspective) and will give you a ton of data about the condition of your colon. As for the LBF, I am quite certain that if you were to take a barium enema that you will be instructed not to eat anything at all for oh..... maybe 24 hours prior taking the barium (enema). They usually insist that you take a laxative or something that will empty the bowels so the x-rays are nice and clear. So I don't think the LBF will be a problem. 10 months and going strong. Great. You will find that new you soon. Actually, it will just be the same you in much better condition than you have been in for years. Peace be with you . -- Peace, love and light, Don Quai " Spirit sleeps in the mineral, breathes in the vegetable, dreams in the animal and wakes in man.
