Guest guest Posted September 30, 2002 Report Share Posted September 30, 2002 Dear , Do you by chance have lower abdominal pain, especially on the left side? Do you have blood in your stools? If so, you probably should have a gastroenterologist look at you and possibly do a colonoscopy. We learned this the hard way. The GI doctor found an ischemic area of my husband's large intestine - the blood supply was cut off by a blood clot. If this is not treated promptly, the area can die and must be cut out. Luckily, it was caught in time and he is much better, not requiring surgery. I don't want to scare you, but it would be wise to get checked out.
