Colonoscopy advice

Hi,

I hope someone would be able to shed some light as I can't find any answers online. 

I've recently had a colonoscopy and am aware of the 2-3 week waiting period for results. The Doctor said that there was nothing pathologically abnormal showing but took 19 biopsies whilst I was under sedation.

Is that a normal amount to take or is that considered higher than normal? I presume it's because they wanted to make sure that they did not miss anything?

I also had a positive FIT test of 184 which I would like to know wether that is a very high level to have back?

thank you all in advance :)

    I am wondering if you are still waiting on your biopsy results, I had 14 biopsies taken, found mild patchy inflammation in some areas of my colon. 

    My GP suspected IBD so I guess the results will either confirm this or not. 

    Its been over 3 weeks since my procedure. 

    I hope you are doing well and keeping yourself distracted :) 

     

    Kind regards,
