I had a colonoscopy one month ago and my system hasn’t been right since and it’s been almost one month of abdominal cramps, bloating and constipation. I wish I had found you sooner! Thanks so much for what you do.

I just happened upon this video a few hours before my colonoscopy. I had no ideas about alternative options or even considered there were any. Thank you very much!
I just had an argument with my mom on the phone about having a colonoscopy. I honestly don't want or care to have one and I really jumped my mom and gave her a piece of my mind. She finally dropped the subject and said if I get cancer don't say I wasn't warned. I said that's fine and from now on let me decide what to do with my life decisions. We kept talking about other things but this subject wasn't mentioned again. I'm not saying I won't do something different, but I just don't care to go through this crap. I might opt for a different kind of test. My younger brother had his done and that's fine but that doesn't mean I have to do it. I just wish family members would leave me the hell alone about the issue. I just honestly don't want to have a colonoscopy. It's that damn simple. Just my thoughts on the subject
You sound like my friend. He was having some problems, dark tarry stools, occasional constipation, but he refused to have a colonoscopy because he thought the idea of it was gross, even though his doctor strongly advised it. He started losing weight, and not feeling well. He eventually became miserably I’ll - so much pain as the cancer spread and nothing could be done. He died of colon cancer 6 months later at age 42. That was 2 months ago. I miss him. So does his wife and their three children.
Thank you so much. Wasn’t going to get one anyway. My dr had been pushing me to get one. I have no symptoms and I’m 72 years old. Had one 7 years ago (no problem found). Wasn’t due for one for another 10 years since the last one. Don’t want the prep or the anesthesia for all the reasons you said. Not looking for trouble. Thanks again. .
I had a colonoscopy just over two weeks ago and my digestive system hasn't been normal since. It feels like there is blockage somewhere along the line. I've been bloated, sometimes painfully, for the last 4 days. I've never experienced something like this before.

I agree. My father’s doctor had him do one each year and the last one he nicked his colon. It took 19 hours before they realized what had happened and wasn’t sure if they could save him. They wash out and rinsed all of his organ that they could. Unfortunately the real problems began and couldn’t save him.
Thanks for the info. Another problem is the colon scope its reused between patients. And cant be sterilized well enough. “Colonoscopies lead to many more infections than previously thought Johns Hopkins study finds some outpatient centers have infection risks 100 times higher than expected”.

I had my colonoscopy in July and I’ve never had digestive issues prior to this procedure but have had severe bloating, some nagging abdominal pain, comstipation/diarrhea and nausea since having the procedure. I’ve ruled out some of the other possibilities for these symptoms. Convinced the timing indicates it has something to do with this procedure. I steer clear of most medications but never imagined this preventative test could cause isssues.
Im 72yo. Have no risk factors for CC. My doctor wants me to have a Colonoscopy; as I've never had one and I've had some digestive issues for a few months. I agreed to Cologard but I'm finding it a liitle tricky to do because I poop very erratically. The whole issue seems to be a damned if I do; damned if I don't kind of thing. I am so consistently dis- appointed with the medi- cal establishment in our country and I think it's time we take the profit motive out of the sys - tem and put the empha- sis on healing and cur - ing people as the #1 goal. It's nerve-wracking enough to be ill without making it a minefield of decisionmaking and indecision.
I just joined your program in hopes you can guide me on my diet. I've been dealing w/inflammation in the intestines for about a year. So far I did have the Fit test, Antibiotics stopped the rectal bleeding, nausea/vomiting. My biggest challenge is trial & error w/finding the best foods. Google recommended mashed potatoes, probiotics, prune juice & cream of wheat so I've added these to my diet. My hardest challenge is eating healthier but adding fruits, veggies & fibrous grains, which I luv, makes my stomach act up esp acidy foods. So how do I eat healthier? Literally recommendations were pasta, white bread, rice, potatoes basically carbs & fat. Every time I try to eat a healthier food my stomach acts up.
You have to emptying first : 80 % of your biome wll be gone...the endoscope can' the steralised: it is cleaned with enzymes. Test to see if there is blood in your stool : don'd have hammeroid's. Had a colonoscpy years ago and stil suffer from it. Grts from Belgium. By the way : they can also check your bowles with an MRI.
What do you think about Colo guard… My doctor actually recommends it For my personal testing… I have no indication of any sort of intestinal issues… Anyway, just interested in your take on that product.
I personally know two (unrelated) people who have had colon cancer that was only diagnosed BECAUSE they went for the suggested colonoscopy at age 50. So I definitely know there is some positivity about colonoscopies, as well. I do have a question, though. If someone has already had a colonoscopy and had beginnings of polyps, would you still just recommend a FIT test, or would you follow up with another colonoscopy?

A FIT test is a good alternative. Research has shown that it’s nearly 98% as accurate at identifying most forms of colon cancer as a colonoscopy. Now, if the FIT test comes back positive, then you can consider getting the more invasive colonoscopy. -LGD Team
@@DrLivingood thanks for the reply I did have a positive cologaurd and I was unable to find the fit test for some reason it's not available in NY and NJ
This scares me. I have Lynch Syndrome and am supposed to have a colonoscopy every 1-2 years per my geneticist. My Grandfather and Uncle both died from colon cancer. My Lynch Syndrome means I am at a much higher risk for cancer ...in particular ...Colon cancer but other cancer as well. I already had Uterine cancer. So will your alternative be beneficial for me?
Firefly a FIT test is a great option to identify problems in a cheaper and safer way. Colonoscopies can still be used. Just have the convo with your doctor, they'll help.
@@firefly19690 Having a great GI doc is VERY IMP! Please check reviews.. heck even ask the Dr how many patients he/she handled personally had any issues after.
What about if you have a family history of colon cancer? My Dad passed away from colon/rectal cancer at 62 years old. I had a colonoscopy 8 years ago that was clear. Now I’m about to be 40. My doctor is insistent on another one.

@@shamikafletcher4242 Typically the colonoscopy disrupts the gut enzymes and gut bacteria. Re-establishing this can really help. A simple first step is to use the greens powder which has probiotics, enzymes, and several other gut-healing nutrients. Advanced protocols can be done but this is a simple start.

Here's a great video about Colonoscopies (side effects and alternatives). ua-cam.com/video/BlpTC0tYpS0/v-deo.html -LGD Team
@@DrLivingood You literally gave the link to the video he is commenting on :)
What about if you have a family history of colon cancer? My Dad passed away from colon/rectal cancer at 62 years old.
I had a colonoscopy 8 years ago that was clear. Now I’m about to be 40. My doctor is insistent on another one.
Because our Support Team is not medically trained, and we want you to get the best answer to your question, I’d recommend asking this question on the ASK DLG Show. They are every Wednesday at 8:30 am EST and you can find the show on Livingood Daily or on Dr Livingood's Facebook Page. He does answer questions that come in via text. If you haven't opted in already, use your cell phone to text the phone number 919-298-8080 the word START. Once you have opted in, you can text your questions during the Live show! We always recommend if you have specific concerns with a pre-diagnosed condition and/or your medication that you consult with your physician. This also applies to changing dosages of your medication and discontinuing usage.

@@shamikafletcher4242 are you taking probiotics and enzymes?
No my doctor did not precribe any
@@shamikafletcher4242 Typically the colonoscopy disrupts the gut enzymes and gut bacteria. Re-establishing this can really help. A simple first step is to use the greens powder which has probiotics, enzymes, and several other gut-healing nutrients. Advanced protocols can be done but this is a simple start. Hope that helps. store.drlivingood.com/products/livingood-daily-greens
Fit test does not see polyps,and the cologuard is a joke.
