Best to be checked out - so good that it will be dine and dusted before your holiday. She will have fast-tracked you because of your age - sorry! She is doing the right thing for you.

She's a very good doctor - I was lucky to get to see her because I only rang up this morning, and appointments with her are like winning the lottery (even if the outcome isn't!). She had a charming Malaysian medical student with her and I was more embarrassed for her than I was for myself, but they have to learn it all, don't they?

Maybe your doctor picked up that you are concerned about the, well irregularity, and didn't want you to wait too long? I went with exactly the same issue, so I understand the discomfort and the underlying worry. in my case all was declared as it should be and some 'stuff' prescribed to ensure complete emptying. Please try not to worry, I didn't find the camera procedure ipainful or even embarrassing, more interesting really. At least you will have your answer quickly. Please let us know the outcome and again, try not to worry.

Thank you, Phoenix. I'll try and have a look at your thread.

Hello Greyduster, not quite sure if we have exactly the same problem, but I did post recently about my bowel problems, so you have my every sympathy!
