A lot of us, including myself have had colonoscopy because we were thought to have something going on with the large intestine. Unfortunately scoping the 'wrong' end often leads to a false diagnosis of IBS. Many of us have had other tests because gluten has effected other organs. I had MRIs, electromylography and heart and lung function tests looking for the reason for, in my case, brain and other organ involvement from years of misdiagnosis. If I had had the scope early in my illness I would not have needed the other tests because the damage could have been prevented.

That was true in my case. My dr thought I had diverticulosis. NOPE. In the meantime, I found a test from 5 YEARS ago that indicated celiac.

oh....and they found a polyp. My dad had colon cancer at a young age, so now I have to have another test next year.
