    Hi well preparation was as easy as ABC as i already had ibs attack diarrhea and didnt eat for 2 days so no problem with preparation. the procedure was painful though even under sedation. I saw my whole colon on tv. till sigmoid everything was good but after that at 2 points, it felt i would pass out. Doc couldnt check terminal ileum due to immense pain if he moved the scope forward. Colonoscopy was fine. No bleeding source was found. After scopy, i had passsed blood clot with watery stool after 3 hrs which is fine as doc says. my colon is all fine and will get repaired itself. he has given me cipesta xr 1 gram for 3 days. dont worry everything was as quick as abcd.

      I also hope of getting rid of ibs as bowel cleansing(for colonoscopy) sometimes settles ibs which may be due to toxins collected in colon.
