A friend of mine had an 11 on his cea test they gave him a colonoscopy it came out good what did that number elevate for?

CEA a poor screen: Cea isn't a very good way to screen for colon cancer. Some folks, especially smokers, run a value that's a little bit high. Glad he got his colonoscopy.

Very good afternoon doctors! I am preparing for a colonoscopy. My Dr. gave me a Rx for Clenpiq, but my insurance does not cover it. Can I use 238 gram Miralax mixed into Snapple or Gatorade--is this just as good or should I pay for the Clenpiq?
