-- Interestingly, I ran across an article earlier this week which apparently offers a viable alternative to colonscopies--dated Feb. 25, 2019: -- Hi @SOC :)
Annual at-home stool test may be as effective as colonoscopy, study finds
The stool test is cheaper and less invasive, experts say.

I saw this article and had used ‘Colongard?’ the last 2 times needed... . I had my first and last colonoscopy ~10 years ago. Besides the indignities it took my gut 6 months or more to recover - pain, rumbles, irritations.
BTW, your comments above are hilarious:lol:
