A member asked:
What can cause a pseudo narrowing of colon? and what would be the treatment? fiber supplements cause more mucus in stool and irritate me more.

Hard to say: Hi JonT, Sorry to hear that you have been feeling poorly. I think this is a topic better discussed in depth with your primary physician. "Pseudo narrowing" is a little bit of an ambiguous term and requires some clarification from your doctor as to what exactly they mean when they say pseudo-narrowing. Further testing may be needed to determine if you have an actual stricture. Hope this helps.

Occasional mucus&constipation. I was worried about colon cancer.Dr said she won't beable to order stool test because of age/history. Colonoscopy is risky but it's up to me if I want one. She did do rectal exam. She never felt any masses. How accurate?
