Colonoscopy before Thanksgiving
I had my first colonoscopy, and I honestly do not know what the big deal is with everyone being weirded-out. It was simple – almost spa like. The worst part is the prep the day before the procedure, but come on – people are going to bed hungry all over the world – stop the [...]

Pylori infection (like do you think I could really get him to eat broccoli sprouts?), lactose intolerance, colitis, Celiac, a hernia, and/or something. There is no fever, vomiting and/or diarrhea.
