I have IBS but not been checked. My dad is a little worried about me since my mom's side has a history and I've been feeling very fatigued the past couple years. So now I'm kind of worried.And anyone who has ibs, ibd (UC, Crohns). I’m at high risk with this 5 year flare up and I’m finally getting it under control. I always encourage anyone with issues to get them looked at no matter the age. Some people are just scared to have someone see their butt. Don’t be scared, they’ve probably seen much worse.
Stay strong brotherAs someone who’s around the same age and also going through a cancer battle, this especially hurts a lot. Similar shock as when I learned about Andy Whitfield (Spartacus actor, with whom I share the same type of cancer). RIP
Colonoscopies aren't bad, I've had several of them done. It doesn't hurt at all, you're put under, you don't feel a thing. When you wake up you wouldn't even know except for a little blood in the toilet after that's just from them taking routine biopsies. The prep sucks and you shit your brains out for a few hours, but if you can deal with that it's a good trade off to make sure you're healthy in there.I have IBS but not been checked.

I actually just made an appointment last week for colon cancer screening. I’ve had some chronic issues/narrowing/mystery bleeding. My doc recommended a colonoscopy which I failed to get in 2013. My appointment to even setup a colonoscopy isn’t until 9/22.As someone who’s around the same age and also going through a cancer battle, this especially hurts a lot.

So, he filmed Black Panther, Infinity War and Endgame whilst knowing about his disease and doing chemo?
He is a true hero in my books.
I don't know if I'd have his courage and motivation were I in his shoes.

Scar tissue? I had a rectal endoscopy in 2013 but they couldn’t find anything of concern.Is the narrowing from scar tissue forming?

I was just curious, I have narrowing, mine is from scar tissue, wanted to know what caused your narrowing.Scar tissue? I had a rectal endoscopy in 2013 but they couldn’t find anything of concern.
Yea getting old sucks. Already dealing with basil cell carcinomas (skin cancer), calcified thyroid nodule (possible thyroid cancer) and an unruptured brain aneurism. Might as well throw some colon issues on the pile.I was just curious, I have narrowing, mine is from scar tissue, wanted to know what caused your narrowing.
If you have mystery bleeding definitely get examined. A lot of things can cause rectal bleeding and even though most aren't life threatening, always best to be safe.
I unfortunately got it. I've had like 5+ operations down there, it's caused all kinds of issues.Narrowing from scar tissue requires tons of unchecked inflammation. I’ve had it for 5 years with no narrowing. But changes in shape can been caused from ibs, spasms, Roids etc. this can be mistaken for narrowing of the colon.

I've finally gotten the inflammation under control, but the scar tissue and trauma down there has led to problems that I haven't found a fix for yet. I'm in the process of trying to find a remedy now between doctors.Damn that sucks. Sorry to hear. Have to tried Vitamin E Enemas? That really helps inflammation. As well as coconut oil enemas. Both have been researched a bit. Also adding sodium butyrate to it to help bring up SCFA in the area. It may help even after the surgeries.
His Wiki says that he was diagnosed in 2016. But I don't know if that was a recent update o has been there for ages.Wtf! Was it even public that he was sick !? RIP
