No: You had the proper work up for those complaints and the findings are consistent. If things change or worsen the only additional thing that could add more information is a ct scan of the abdomen and pelvis which would visualize things the scopes can't see.

Past year 2 colonoscopies. 3 GIs diagnosis = IBS. Said bloody stool was polyp (removed) or hemorrhoids. Now dark red bloody stool again. More than in past. Nothing on TP. IBS has been bad. Feel crazy. Help.
