Louis is going for an ER colonoscopy-----tis amazing how they fit U in when the words ER are used!! which we are thankful----
He has had megga bleeding ---even when he sneezers??-- but as usual--he overlooked it and assumed that it is just a pollup bursting---
So tomorrow is the big day for the Xamine that we all luve---actually the exam isnt bad --tis the prep thats the pitz!!
They have added something new--since last year---U now take 4 tablespoons of MOM before U ingest all the other stuff--
I shall report back tomorrow after we get home--
PS. he did have a few pollops--bout 5 years back~~~~

Barbara,
Sometimes blood vessels in diverticula can start to bleed, also. The doctor may be able to fix whatever it is, during the colonoscopy. You may recall that my brother had that problem a couple of years ago, and he waited so long that he was at risk of bleeding to death, before he finally went to the ER. They were able to repair the problem during a colonoscopy exam, though, and he hasn't had any problem with it since.
Best of luck with the procedure. We'll be sending our best thoughts, and waiting for your report.
Luve,

It is suspected that some of the hardest material known to science can be found in the skulls of GI specialists who insist that diet has nothing to do with the treatment of microscopic colitis.

thanks all----and Galahad I do recall about your brother----
Naturally I am a *wee* bit worried cus he has let this go on for many months now---but the issue has become a bit more frequent and he has made a crease on the seat!!!!
-boy how honestly descriptive could I be---- 
Of course until we find out whats going on its a *shush* thing with the kids----they have their own issues to deal with and I know that Doug would be calling us every hour on the hour for updates!!!
Kids become your parents after a certain age------but its nice to know that!!!
lvue Columbo!!!
