I had a bad pain below my left rib area a couple hours everytime after i eat a meal. i'm scared to take a colonoscopy. what should i do?

See your doctor: Eric, this sounds like gastritis, or stomach inflammation. It usually gets worse after you eat. See your doctor. They can prescribe medications. If they feel a scope is needed, don't worry. They aren't nearly as bad as you think they will be. Hope this helps!
