I thought IBS was a huge bank.

I am a big fan of medical prevention...and cramping is not normal.

Time to see a gastroenterologist and have a colonoscopy if you have not already done so.

It isn't FUN but it isn't that bad and over quickly. This test can SAVE your life. Colon cancer is very curable if caught early and polyps can be snipped while you are under anesthetic.

Please all who have had a colonoscopy....pile on. Everyone should have them after the age of 50.

I say this because I care.
