My gi doctor Is going to do a EGD to see if my ulcers are gone or

better but they don't feel better to me. He has me on medication. He

also wants to do a colonoscopy but he uses a prep with peg3350 in it

plus 4 ducolax tabs and ducolax also has peg in it and I'd have to

fast for 1 and 1/2 days on clear liquids and I can't do that and

told him I need protein to keep my blood sugar up and he said to eat

sugar so that told me hes not up on hypoglycemia. I spoke with my

surgeon who did my hemorrhoid surgery and has done 2 scopings on me

and he said he would do the colonscopy and does not use peg3350 and

actually wants to check as I have rectal bleeding as he had to leave

some internal hemorrhoids for rectal tissue or else he would have to

do a colostomy as the first rectal surgeon took too much rectal

tissue. My luck! and I won't have to fast with clear liquids as

long. I know because he did 2 scopings on me and knows hypo. This gi

doctor is always in a hurry and doesn't take the time to talk with

his patients. So I am cancelling my colonoscopy with him and let the

surgeon who did the other scopings and I didn't realize but he also

does EGDs and treats ulcers so I may have him treat my stomach if

this other dr. finds that I still have the ulcers.I have the worse

luck with doctors. I go see the endocrinologists on tuesday so I am

looking forward to see what my tests showed. I still try to be

gluten and casein free but still feel lousy but keep plugging as it

might take more time. Let me know how you are doing? Has your

husband ever been tested for gluten and wheat sensitivity? Does he

ever have a problem. My husband doesn't but he sure burps a lot.

Sorry for such a long email. I sent you my entero lab report on

gmail. Did you get it? best marg

Marg, please download the FDA sheets and give them to your doctor, there is a lot of older people on this and they all seem to get perforated bowels................
