My new gynecologist gave me a test kit which looks a lot easier to take than the traditional colonoscopy prep. You have to collect poop samples for three days, and you have to observe some dietary restrictions, but OMG it's so much easier. And not a colonoscopy!
No red meat, no citrus or Vitamin C megadose, no NSAIDS. I think I'd rather, thank you very much!
