When you say indigestion, what exactly do you mean. What symptoms do you have? Do you have any medical conditions/take any medications (prescription and over the counter)? What do you eat in an average day?View Thread

I wouldn't worry about the food coloring - it's not uncommon. Green, blue and purple food coloring are usually the reason for (at times rather neon) green stool. I know if I eat a fair amount of black licorice or black jelly beans then I'm going to end up with with rather disturbing looking green-black stools - but I know it's just the food coloring and it'll pass.View Thread




Technically I get 'twilight sedation' whenever I'm scoped and every time I'm out pretty much immediately after they give it to me. I can't tell you how long the colonoscopy takes because I'm out when it happens, but I asked one time and they figure from the start of it until you wake up and get ready to leave is around an hour to an hour and a half. Some of that is time you need for the sedation to start to wear off.
They won't let you leave on your own because of the sedation, so you'll have to have someone pick you up from the hospital.
How much do you know about a colonoscopy? There are people on the Crohns and Colitis would who would be able to help you with any more questions you may have.View Thread

I've been uncomfortable the day of my colonoscopy but after that I've been fine. I'd start to get concerned about still being tender, but certainly not to the extent of rushing of to the ER. It's possible it has nothing to do with you being scoped.
So make an appointment to see your doctor to ask 'what's up with this?' By the time you get in it may have cleared up, and then you can go over the initial reports (the biopsy results won't be in yet).
Btw simple broth soups, white bread/crackers and plain baked chicken are good foods to try.View Thread
