Use hydrocortisone on your bung hope. “Prep” just means lots diarrhea.

Have you already cut out lactose?
That was the big result of the colonoscopy I had in my 20s from similar issues.
Doctor said he couldn’t find anything wrong but that I should cut out lactose.
Truth be told I was underweight, sedentary, and ate very poorly. And lactose intolerant. For a certain type of person, that’s going to mean a lot of gut issues.

No I haven’t cut out lactose. I’ll admit that I drink a lot of milk in the morning as well as eat dairy products

I would switch to lactose free milk and see if you see any improvement. It’s an easy switch and doesn’t cost that much more.

I tried to get a colonoscopy at 40, and Blue Cross doesn’t cover it until you’re 45. Even though I have had several uncles, cousins have colon cancer and die in their early 50s. I might just pay out-of-pocket instead of waiting till 45. I think it was about $1500, and one person at the insurance company said that if I meet my deductible they pay the rest which is $1200, that I’ve already paid some to. But every time you talk to a different operator, they say something different.

I have a family history and had a large polyp at 40. It’s crazy they won’t cover it sooner when you have the history.

Is the prep as awful as people say it is?
