I actually looked up re just mucus and it can be associated with so many things . IBS, fissures, proctitis, crohns, infections, ulcers, food intolerance etc etc ! 

Thanks I will stay in touch. Happy weekend all! X

Thank you for checking for me. That is so kind. I'll wait for the removal of the polyps and see how I go 

have a good weekend 

Morning 

When will you have the polyps removed do you know? Hope your symptoms aren't too bad?

Fourth day running and no blood! I'm optimistic. I just dropped the samples off so will wait and see. 

Hope everyone had a good weekend, weather was really nice, I needed that for sure! :-)

Hi I'm so glad there is no blood. What a relief for you. They want me to go in next week but the problem is the hospital is in the area where the new variant has been discovered. After loosing dad to covid I'm reluctant to go because I'm scared. I have a week to think about it. I might prepare for it, have my covid test etc and see 

be positive lovey and let us know your results 

Its so helpful being able to read through other peoples experiences, I'm waiting for colonoscopy and extremely anxious about it all.

My stools have always been changeable, but after completing FIT test and before I got the result I got awful stomach pain, undigested food in faeces, what looks like red pepper etc... in there.

It has also been a painful to pee, I can rationally tell myself some of these COULD be due to anxiety but I know they might not be.

For a few days I have had what feels like a stitch in a very specific spot in my lower left abdomen.

I'm also worried I'll need to self isolate before colonoscopy which could delay things even more.

Yes it's good news but won't rest properly till I have had results (I guess that's a normal feeling).

Sorry to hear about your dad. I understand your reluctance to go in. I agree, just think about it.
 

Thanks so much for your support 

Hi there

I understand you are anxious about your colonoscopy. I haven't ever had this procedure, I hope someone else can reply re this. 
I agree it's helpful to read through this forum.

I think some things we eat are not digestible. I had terribly tummy pain due to H pylori so I know it's not nice at all. I believe anxiety can play a big part in many things which is really frustrating and you are anxious because of your colonoscopy.

I am always here for a chat. Everyone on here is so friendly and supportive. 

Hi thanks for getting back to me 

I've had the colonoscopy procedure but they could get the polyps off so they want me to go back. I'm more worried about the covid threat than the procedure. I have no blood either now but tummy pains when I eat sometimes or if windy. Honestly I think the stress over the year didn't help but let's see what happens

thanks for the support 

I have received my second Calprotectin result today and its very high of 3305! I am just slightly nervous of what's to follow, has anyone else had similar levels?

Thanks
