Digestive screening : If you truly have no symptoms related to your digestive tract, the only screening tests at your age would potentially be blood tests to check out the liver. If you have no family history of colon troubles, you should have a colonoscopy at age 50. Otherwise, tests of your digestive tract would only be necessary if you're having symptoms that need investigation. Good luck.
