gallstone consultation = colonoscopy

[Guest guest]

Hello Everyone,

I've posted this yesterday, but there seems to be something wrong

with my messages getting through.

To make it short - I went to the specialist Monday; I was referred to

the doctor by my GP after an episode/attack. I was hoping to get a

second ultrasound for comparisons sake.

Guess what. He's advising me to have a colonoscopy. So apparently

my symptoms of gas and frequent bowel movements and age of 49 are

more indicative of bowel problems than my stones in the ultrasound

are a problem.

Maybe it's a good idea for screening, but I was wondering if anybody

has more stats/info on colonoscopies.

Thanks very much for your help,

Suzanne
