Colonoscopy: I think a colonoscopy would yield more information. Also you need to get your bowel health in order. Start taking a fiber supplement like metamucil, 2-3 times per day, and get more fluid.

CT: I would see a gastroenterologist as you may benefit from a colonoscopy prior to a CT. It is a difficult to say
