Anyone had a colonoscopy pre diagnosis?
My symptoms have been constant bloating and soft stool. GI doc has done an endoscopy and now my next step is a colonoscopy. Should I insist on a SIBO breath test before jumping to a colonoscopy or is this pretty standard procedure?
Test that I have done:
Endoscopy: no evidence of inflammation, ulcers or H pylori.
RUQ ultrasound- no significance. Surrounding organs look ok
Abdominal CT scan with contrast - revealed a ruptured ovarian cyst
Blood work - nothing abnormal
H pylori breath test - negative
