Colonoscopy this week! Need some guidance!!!

So after years of constipation which leads into terrible hot (yes hot) 😂sulfur/ egg smell and big time bloat was always controlled by low fodmap.

I’m a 49 yr old female. Premenopausal and my labs just said my iron was a little low and my thyroid was a little on the high side. I did not have a full panel in thyroid. How big of a deal is high thyroid with digestive issues?

I cannot control my constipation,bloat and hot nasty gas with foods so I’m left with buying everything to figure out how to keep things moving.

I’m hoping my colonoscopy comes out ok and I’m having an upper GI.

If they say everything looks good, what other tests should I say I would like to be tested for?

I want want my microbiome tested…I know Sibo for sure but what else? Sorry if I didn’t say that right!

This is all new to me.

Tell me your stories on being tested and the steps you took.
