Hello

I've had some symptoms recently whereby I've had excruciating stomach cramps and severe diarrhea. During these episodes, I've felt like I was going to pass out. I put it down to food intolerances as I could pinpoint that it happened very quickly after eating both creamy and/or oily food. Anyway, I contacted my GP with the intention of pursuing the intolerance route but he ordered a FIT test  which came back positive, with a score of 34. Subsequent blood tests came back normal but I got a phone call yesterday from the hospital with a colonoscopy date of 26 September. 

For background, I had a total hysterectomy in 2011 due to endometriosis and adenomyosis and was told then that I had bowel adhesions. My bowel has always been sensitive and I can have bouts of diarrhea on the regular. I don't have any bleeding (that I can see) and not lost weight etc. Im obviously quite concerned about this although I do appreciate that a score of 34 is not super high. I do recall Diverticulitis being mentioned years ago but this was never really followed up. Any previous tests I've had under the bowel screening programme (I'm 60) have been ok. 

I am just wondering if anyone has experienced anything similar that they'd be willing to share and what your outcome was? I'm trying not to freak out but it's not that easy. In addition, I've just come across a thread on here where people have been saying how excruciatingly painful their colonoscopies were, even with sedation and how they will never undergo one again! This is not helping my anxiety so again, I'm hoping that people can share some positive experiences around this. 

Thanks everyone.
