My colonoscopy showed sigmoid inflam and edema. doc left a message today and he had my biopsy results, that everything's fine, and to call back. couldn't reach him. can i take "fine" to mean "not ibd?

Accepted Answer

Obviously you need to have a conversation with the doc. "fine" probably means it's not inflammatory bowel disease. This has classic findings. You may have irritable bowel syndrome,  which is more of a diagnosis by exclusion, but "fine" means no obvious evidence of cancer or anything scary.

Accepted Answer

You may take a fiber laxative like Metamucil and drink enough water daily so that your urine is colorless. For the long term you may try to increase your intake of fiber foods. Consult this site for fiber foods.

Question 9

I have extreme itching in the anal region (also in anus) and with frequent bowel movements i often get blood on the toilet paper. i went for colonoscopy, results showed no polyps or hemarroids.can the itching be due to diet?what can stop the itching?

Accepted Answer

A normal colonoscopy is great, but if you have frequent bowel movements you could still have 
a parasite infection or something that would only be diagnosed by a specimen sent to the lab.  Yeast infections or irritation from clothing or soaps could also cause itching. Try to use unscented, hypoallergenic soaps & detergents. 
You can try over the counter hydrocortisone cream & miconazole cream
