You all are scaring me with this gastro shit. What age are we supposed to have a colonoscopy?

Typically 50 if you don't have a history of Prostate cancer in your family

Yes, and i think if there's not a history of colon cancer, you can opt for the cologuard test. Take a crap at home and send the sample in by mail. Must easier! Did mine a couple years ago.

Have you heard of FODMap? there are people who recommend the FODMAP or staying away from FODMOP foods or something to that effect. Foods that have lots of gases such as garlic, bread. Have you heard of this? I ignored it as I believe garlic is 1 of the miracle superfoods that make many live very very old lives in the mediterranean...that and they have an easy going outlook on life. If you ever saw the film "Beverly Hills Cop," the original, 1 of the 2 cops in the squad car on a stake out on Axel Foley, the younger one says at a certain age there's an _ x amount of lbs of red meat in the intestine that hasn't been digested. Leaky gut is an intersting relatively new phenomonon, too...a lot of these things are basicallly part of living...in my humble opinion. I wouldn't worry too much about them. But fasting seems to be a good thing to do also, let these organs rest. Especially since bodybuilders eat a lot and thus cause the digestive organs to work harder than the regular person who works in the service industry as like an accoutnant or lawyer.
