Hi Charlie a colonoscopy is used to check your bowel only.A gastroscopy is the test used to check your stomach
Hi Charlie
The following tests may be used to diagnose stomach cancer:
Biopsy. ...
Endoscopy. ...
Endoscopic ultrasound. ...
X-ray. ...
Barium swallow. ...
Computed tomography (CT or CAT) scan. ...
Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI). ...
Positron emission tomography (PET) or PET-CT scan.
A colonoscopy helps find ulcers, colon polyps, tumors, and areas of inflammation or bleeding.
Right okay thanks well I had a colonoscopy done and came back all clear but I'm still getting really bloated after I eat so getting quite worried again I'm only 22
Hey Charlie
Have you asked your doctor it's not normal to always eat and get bloated. Often, bloating is caused by irritable bowel syndrome. Or celiac disease, food intolerance, eating too fast, overeating, Gastrointestinal diseases, lactose intolerance.
Hi Charlie has anyone ever mentioned irritable bowel syndrome.Bloating after eating is usually caused by trapped wind in the bowel.
Well, I do hope you feel better and the bloating goes away. It could be alot of things but you need to check your stomach to know what's causing it.👍
A colonoscopy will cut out part of your large intestine whereas the stomach is at the other end of the digestive tract.
so it will depend on how far the cancer has spread to see what is possible.
A colonoscopy is only used to check your intestines to make sure there are no polyps or anything abnormal.
The bladder is completely a separate Organ.
are you concerned about your stomach?
