they are going to do that on the results of a home test ?
No second opinion or more follow up ?

@rckt148 She probably did that take home 'cardboard test' that you have to return to the doctor and get it evaluated.

Then she returns for the consultation and a prescription for the cleanser....

They are not a big deal, the worst part is having to gag down the cleanser and being so damn hungry before you can eat again.

@DallasCowboysFan yea I have been trough it a few times myself
had 6 intestinal polyps removed ,a huge cyst that was causing a blockage and
they repaired my hemorrhoid problem from all the straining .
The colonoscopy is no big deal except the gallon of Go Lite and the time on the toilet as it cleans you out ,
But I know people who also needed a colostomy ,a whole new ball game
