	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?? katie 22 diagnosed with cecal volvulus, 2006; two colon resections in the same year diagnosed with colitis 2007 malrotated colon no cecal valve, removed during surgery on antibiotics while undergoing further testing by doctor will start VSL #3 when antibiotics are done.

	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! Beth, 31 UC Diagnosed March 2000 Lialda 2.4mg 1xday since 8/24/07 (prev.

	It could be for transit time or fecal fat content. Either of those sound familiar? q HeatherStatus:mini flare June 23* 6asacol daily+ Salofalk (tapered every 3rd night) ~diagnosed January 1989 UC (proctosigmoiditis) ~5ASA: Asacol + Salofalk enemas (increase for flares tapered to maintenance) ~Bentylol (dicyclomine) 20mg as needed ~vitamins/minerals ~Probiotic 2 (Natural Factors Protec) + 1 (Primadophilus Reuteri) at bedtime ~Natural Factors Multi Digestive Enzymes with supper ~Ranitidine,Pariet (reflux) Effexor XR 75mg; Pulmicort/Airomir (asthma) ~URSO for PSC (or PBC) 500mg X 2 daily (LFTs back to NORMAL!!)
