hey guys,
i have to back to into the doctor tomorrow for another test. i forget what it is called but i fast, they feed me eggs, toast and jam and then they "watch what comes out." has anyone ever had this test? i'm just nervous, every time i go in for a test, they find out something else is wrong. does anyone know what this test looks for??

sorry I don't know, but I do know what it's like going through tests and waiting and always finding something!

I hope that they get the info they are looking for to making a diagnosis and getting you on your way to feeling better!

It could be for transit time or fecal fat content. Either of those sound familiar?

My doc's logic.. "TREAT (FROM)BOTH ENDS" worth it !!!
