IBS FAOP - Sqad

Been to specialist last night. Thinks it's IBS but to make sure am having colonoscopy sometime in next week. Can I ask you why he examined my right hand and arm and felt round my neck, looked at eyes and tongue?

If you went privately he wanted to justify his fee and if you went on the NHS he was being a diligent doctor.............;-)

That is an excellent outcome, the colonoscopy being an essential part of your management. examination of the arms and neck would be to exclude any glandular involvement, your tongue to assess if there was any vitamin deficiencies secondary to your bowel symptoms and your eyes to exclude any jaundice or anaemia.

Your feedback is much appreciated.
