I did a routine colonoscopy May 28th, my last one was in 2018 I believe. Purg-Odan was the name of the prescription laxative I was tokd to take. No polyps were found but there is some diverticulitis in one area. The doctor said to eat more fibre, which I do. My daughter takes Fibre 4 which is like a tasteless Metamucil she says. I think I will start taking that daily. It can only help. My next colonoscopy is recommended in 10 years.

That sandwich looks delicious! And it's good that everything seems fine so far. All the best—eat more natural fiber!
A healthy toast!!
I'm glad you're healthy after the exam!!
The sandwich looks quite nice.
Glad it went well. I was talking to a woman about diverticulitis, she was telling me that she cannot have small nuts or seeds and such as it really sets it off.
Sandwich looks good :-D
I've used Cologuard instead of having an actual colonoscopy and that's worked for me. Glad everything is okay, Christine!
Air fryers are so useful, and cheaper to run, too.
Thanks for this tip Ananka
My Doctor gives those Cologuard tests to me in between the colonoscopies Martha although I don't have a family history of colon cancer.
Thanks katerina
That looks like delicious bread.
Happy you are Okay, Christine
I posted today🇹🇹
HERE
much love
The sandwich looks soooo good. I'm going to have to get another air fryer. Diverticulitis is not always fun. I know. LOL Have a good day today.
Recently had that test and I took Dulcolax liquid. Before I always had to buy that expensive liquid, crap but this was easier. I don't have to return for five years, last time was three yrs ago. I had three then and only two now. Its just a pain in the rear!
That sandwich looks delicious, and that's great news about the colonoscopy. ❤️
Pleased you enjoyed the toasted chicken sandwiches.
It's always advisable to have the screening tests that are offered.
With regard to your diverticulitis ... I'm sure your Doctor/medical team have gone through the 'do's and don'ts' advice with diet etc. but you may find this a helpful read too:-

Enjoy this last weekend of May.
All the best Jan
Se ve muy rico. Te mando un beso.
I was thinking of chicken sandwich not long ago.
The colonoscopy prep is the worst. But your chicken sandwich looks amazing.
The sandwich sounds very appealing Christine. Thanks for sharing. And for that very important reminder about your colonoscopy. I'm glad all was well and hope the diverticulitis can be controlled. The drink I had to take was ghastly but sounds like you had something else? Anyhow, applauding you for getting this done.
Thanks Jan I will read this
I'm glad everything was okay following your colonoscopy. And I hope that with some adjustments to your diet, you are able to manage your diverticulitis. X
