They reckon surgery.
My big bowel has one too.
Buy one get one free LOL.

Oh sorry Steve. Surgery isn't much fun! I haven't had any major surgery myself for Crohn's as I'm just newly diagnosed so can't offer much insight - though they did a laparoscopy as part of my investigations in January. (Keyhole surgery so I had no problems and not much pain etc.) You must be fed up. I hope they're going to get it done quickly and not keep you waiting too long. And I hope the meds work to keep you comfortable in the meantime. From looking at other posts, surgery does at least offer a good possibility of long remission to look forward to. Keep us posted,

Im ok.
Just got to try the non smoking thing and see if stays away.
Been through a stressy year and know that affects me .

Having one on 29th.  Do you get the results that day?  Also how long does it take letter said "several hours".

The result as in the x-ray will be ready fairly quickly but it will need a visit to your consultant to explain the results to you. So basically you will know the results the next time you see your consultant.

Hi

I had one many years ago, so I don't know if the same will still apply. They gave me this drink that didnt taste that great, then laid you down on a bed which tipped up, very weird sensation, you can see your insides glowing like ready brek man and watch the barium going through your system, if you have any leaks or blockages you'll see it track off or stop.

It does take a while to go through your system and may may poo blue or green poo a few days later. It'l put you off slush puppies forever

As I said mine was about 20 years ago now, so the system may have changed, but if it hasnt then thats the basics of it, the plus side is its non invasive.

Good luck
