    You won’t be aware of anything. It is exactly the same as being asleep. I was COMPLETELY unaware of anything going on!

    If you’re properly sedated it’s not that much of a big deal. For me preparation (the day before) and the aftermath were the worst. The aftermath included some serious blood-loss. So side effects may appear but the alternative is worse.

    This video really does make it sound worse then it is. I had one about 5 years ago and it was a breeze. I’d rather have this then my teeth cleaned.

    Your friend has had a colonoscopy in order to detect a condition called microscopic colitis. But if the biopsies resulted normal maybe he is affected from celiac disease. So, he should already have undergo a gastroscopy with biopsies from the deep portion of the duodenum and blood tests for anti-tTG and EMA. He also must give stool samples for parassitological examination wich i suppose has already done. If all tests result negative then propably its a case of IBS (irritable bowel syndrome)

    I have chronic sanguine cryptitus with intussusception & a swollen Mechkel’s diverticulum that is agitated by consumption of capsicum annuum, oryza sativa w fabauceae leguminosae & bière of a temperature of 4-5 degrees Celcius or lower. To politely put it, this is affecting my “Doppelpunkt & Ruckstande.” Also, my hematochezia is mephitic & untidy. It makes my normal stomach sleep position moist and “j’aime dormir avec les organes rigides de prisonniers”, so to say. Please help. Only you can…

    Thanks a lot for the information. It really helps. persons that will undergo colonoscopy should plan their activity after the colonoscopy to ensure they can get a good rest after the colonoscopy.

    Great information for those that rather need to see what is being done rather than a pamplet
