That is a low score considering it can go up into the hundreds ,mine was 15 and after a colonoscopy it turned out to be nothing worrying although I'm glad I got checked out because you never know ,mine was because of continuing diarrhea 24/7 .

Thanks for replying.  Those sound similar to my symptoms. If you do th mind can I all what the problem was?

They found I had a polyp / fibroid which they removed and Diverticulitis, they told me immediately that everything looked fine although they did take a few biopsies which turned out to be ok when I got the letter  ,this was last Octotober ,the diarrhea cleared up and I've been fine ever since ,as you mentioned the prep is the biggest pain but its only for a day I just took it all in my stride .

Hi...I had a colonoscopy a few weeks ago.The before prep ..I had to have low resin diet ,and then the drink to empty the colon.It was clear and tasted lemon,I managed to keep it down (just)and as the instructions said my bowels emptied..I was lucky my appointment was 9am.I opted for gas and air if needed(only so I could leave sooner unsupervised)It was straight forward really  They let me keep my jumper(I took a longish one)and also my socks on They gave me paper dignity shorts(open at the back)hence the longish jumper.Then laid on left side knees upto my chest You can see the TV if you want to watch(I shut my eyes)I'm quite a tough cookie but when going round my colon he struggled on the bend,so had a few gasp on the gas and air...once round the bend everything felt ok,and hardly felt it coming back out,So please don't worry.The worst part for me was the drink to empty the bowels..and the dignity shorts ...so good luck .stay calm

Thanks, I hope the results were positive.

I thought gas meant you had to have someone come and collect you 

No just something you breathed in and out,fully conscious (I don't think it did a lot,I guess because you breathed in and out it relaxed you.was ok after,they gave me a hot drink and biscuits then I drove home
