Question 1

had a sessile serrated polyp in acending colon 2 years ago removed at 27 years old, if i fixed my chronic constipation could i decrease ca chance?

Accepted Answer

Potentially: High fiber diet has been linked to lower rates of colon cancers based on epidemiologic studies. Even if it doesn't decrease your cancer risk, having soft bowel movements also reduces your risk for developing hemorrhoids.

Question 2

0.7x0.4x0.2cm sessile serrated adenoma found in me acending colon (27 yr f) im so scared no history ca in family, don't smoke, chances of me getting cancer?

Accepted Answer

Cont to see GI reg: At the present time the medical literature does not have any statistics that would define your chance of getting colon cancer after finding the serrated adenoma in the asc colon.

You are at increased risk, but-Sorry I cannot give you a %  risk, but this does not appear in the literature.

Your GI DR will be watching this very closely and I would suggest you continue with vigilant checkups.

Question 3

scope looked normal, ulcer found acending colon, and terminal ileum. chronic active colitis, crpyt abscess and acute crptitis. terminal illeum there was ulcer found, but says no pathological change from biopsy ulcer, and random ileum.ileum no inflam?

Accepted Answer

Crohn's: Findings are classic for granulomatous colitis or Crohn's disease.  The other inflammatory bowel disease is ulcerative colitis, however there usually is not crypt abscesses nor ileum (small bowel) involved  I believe you have a serious inflammatory bowel disease, which  is a chronic, lifelong disorder and must be followed by a knowledgeable, experienced gastroenterologist.

Question 4

i had a 0.7x0.4x0.2 sessile serrated adenoma removed from my acending colon last year- i am only 27 no history of cancer in family. how often should i get colonoscopies- i also have chronic constipation?

Accepted Answer

Colon polyp: Ask your gasteroenterologist, who scoped you.  He/she should provide you the answer for repeat colonoscopy, but it is probably no more than 3 years since the last one.

Question 5

hi my husband had one foot of the acending and descending colon removed due toi diverticulitis and cancer. he suffers from severe diarrhea help!?

Accepted Answer

Call your surgeon: How long ago was the surgery? Diarrhea early after surgery is common. Drink plenty of liquids. Add metamucil 3 times a day to the diet. Ask tthe surgeon if immodium can be used or not to slow the bowels.

Question 6

do colon clense help?

Accepted Answer

Help what?: If you referring to cleansing your colon..It can clean out your stool, but as you eat stool will re-accumulate. Is there a health benefit? I am not aware of anything signifincant, at least not in the long run.
As a matter of fact, excessive use/missue of such can destroy normal colonic bacteria and predispose to other problems/infections. Not recommended.
Consult your doc.
Good luck.

Question 7

signs of a colon problem?

Accepted Answer

Many and varied: Depending on the problem, signs can include nausea and vomiting, constipation, diarrhea, bleeding from the rectum, abdominal cramping, weight loss or gain or no symptoms at all. If you suspect some sort of problem with your colon, see your doc right away for an examination and evaluation.

Question 8

how can i clean my colon?

Accepted Answer

Not necessary: The desire to clean the colon relates to ancient medical theories about internal toxicity derived from the colon.  The colon, thank you, is fully capable of taking care of itself and needs no cleansing.  You can pay a great deal of money to alternate practitioners for colon cleansing but this is money badly spent.  If you think you have medical problems, see your family doctor.

Question 9

do colon cleansings work?

Accepted Answer

No: There is no need for and no benefit of doing colon  cleansings. Your colon cleanses itself by having bowel movements. There is no buildup of toxins anywhere in the colon. Colon cleansings are unnecessary and can be unhealthy. Stick with a high-fiber diet for good colon health! Good luck.

Question 10

does colon clensing work?

Accepted Answer

Not a fan: I am not a fan of these techniques.  Your colon is made to handle a high bacterial load and eliminate wastes.  Proper nutrition and a high fiber diet with good hydration help it to work better in doing this.  Aggressive cleanses can upset electrolyte balance and lead to colon irritation as well as upset normal bacterial flora (and lead to things like c-difficile colitis).
