Bonjour , besoin de vos témoignages svp 🙏

Mes 3 filles (4 ans et 2 ans et demi) sont malades depuis environ 17 jours. Au début, elles vomissaient plusieurs fois, puis ça s’est amélioré. Mais depuis quelques jours, les vomissements reviennent, surtout la nuit, parfois une seule fois, avec douleurs au ventre et parfois diarrhée.

On a consulté le médecin et les urgences, et une analyse des selles est en cours.

Est-ce que certaines ont vécu ça avec leur enfant : gastro qui dure plus de 10-15 jours avec vomissements surtout la nuit ? Qu’est-ce qui a été finalement trouvé et combien de temps ça a duré ?

Merci pour vos témoignages ❤️

I have had many colonoscopies because I have Crohn's. I've also had several doctors because of moves, doctor retiring, etc. I always have had really good doctors, like Mayo Clinic, Vanderbilt, etc. In my many colonoscopies, it's always been split dose, except many years ago, but even then it was a late evening start. I've done the same miralax prep from each doctor and always been clear. I've recently moved and my gp recommended a new G.I. doctor. I met him and he seemed fine. My husband had his once a decade colonoscopy with this guy and it was a great experience except for the prep. This doctor chooses a weird administration of the miralax/ducolax prep. He has you take 8 ducolax instead of 4, but you take 4 at 8:00 am and 4 at 5:00pm. He even has you finish the miralax by 10am the day before! I told my husband this would give too much time for more waste to form and sure enough, he was not completely clear for his colonoscopy. Well, now it's my turn and I plan on just doing the prep with the same medications that has always worked for me. I was talking to a friend and she said I should get doctor approval, but I don't see why I would. The medications are the same. That just gives him the chance to blame me if anything does go bad and I know that his crazy way won't work. I don't even know why he would do it that way when the American College of Gastroenterology guidelines are for split dose. But even if he doesn't like that for some reason, why on earth would he have you finish all of your drink by 10:00 am? Anyway, what would you do?

We’re students trying to understand gaps in the current colonoscopy workflow.

After identifying/characterizing a polyp, are documentation, checking relevant guidelines/literature, and generating the final report a meaningful pain point?

- Yes, it takes significant time/work

- Sometimes, workflow could be improved

- Minor inconvenience

- No, current tools handle this well

If yes, which step causes the most friction?

Hello,

Is anyone here suffering from IBS? Did blood tests, gastrocopy, endoscopy etc and all seems fine. I do have some stress/anxiety and emotions that I cannot really managed. I noticed that i get like a sensation of boule au ventre that would make me want to poop. I used to have it before it stopped or was on and off but this year its the worst ever. To note I lost my mom this year I do not know if grief impact this.
