Hi all. I have been having tummy issues on and off for years but the last few months I have had diarrhoea every morning.  Very bloated after eating and gassy. I feel nauseous and exhausted and lost over a stone. ( not complaining). My gp did a calprotectin test a couple of weeks ago it came back at 543mg repeated last week and is 693mg. I am also anemic ( have been for a few years). Gp rang yesterday to give me an urgent referral and said I will have colonoscopy.  I had one in 2019 and it was honestly one of the most traumatic experiences of my life and there have been a few. I had four people pinning me down, I was screaming the place down.  I was sedated i had extra iv pain meds and gas and air. Apparently I have a twisted and tortuous bowel.  I am absolutely terrified of having another, I really don't think I can do it.  Anyone had full anesthesia with colonoscopy!  X
