Family history of polyps and began colonoscopy age 55 (sigmoid age 50). First one they found 3 benign polys, went back 5 years later, found 1 benign one. Last one 3 years ago there were NONE. I’m now on the 5-year plan. Primarily vegan/plant based since 50. I am now 67; will have another one age 70.

Would like to hear Dr. B's discuss risks associated with colonoscopy, such as anesthesia, perforations, etc, and the value of other screening techniques such as the newer blood tests which screen for cancer DNA fragments. Good discussion. Thanks.

I remember the bottle of bismuth from when i was young. Just the mention of it took me back to my childhood ... even if I didn’t really use it. Love listening to Dr. B and am a serious follower. A few months ago my husband went into renal failure and now on dialysis. We were told he had to limit whole grains and beans and legumes because of the potassium and phosphorous. I am being cautious but still including them.

[@Murph7373]

Hi, I was just listening The Food Revolution Summit. Dr. B was mentioning fermented foods; however; he was not able to suggest fermented veggies with no salt for those who mentioned HTN and inability to benefit from fermented foods due to high sodium content. He never mentioned salt free fermentation. I am SOS free long term vegan, over 17 years. I ferment multiple veggies and even fruit by adding apple and cranberries to sauerkraut with no added salt for the last several years. I just want people who do not consume salt to be aware it is possible using salt free fermentation. Thank you! Love you all! 😘🙏🤗

Dr Will I'm a 60 yr old slim fit woman 5 years following Dr Esselstyns strict diet all that time. Back in 2011 they found a precancerous polyp through colonoscopy. I've been clear since. But about 4 yrs ago I went to see a surgeon about some faecal incontinence. She insisted on doing a colonoscopy although my gastroenterologist and my doctor weren't keen. I went ahead nc I wanted her help with the faecal incontinence problem but it turned out badly...she badly bruised my spleen (after thinking she had punctured it & keeping me in hospital a further 5 days). I asked about colonoscopies in the future, given my precancerous polyp back in 2011....she said to me my colon was incredibly squeaky clean and that anybody would be "mad" now to attempt a colonoscopy....she said if internal examination is ever warranted, to do a Sigmoidoscopy instead.....would you agree that this would be the best option for me going forward now, rather than colonoscopy? (I was pretty annoyed bc I had suggested this from the start but she ridiculed the idea). Thank you for any feedback you can offer...I'm in Australia

[@jbach1841]

Just had my first colonscopy today. No polyps or any other abnormalities but I highly doubt I will have another in 10 years unless something changes.

[@kathrynsavage4121]

I have a question for Dr. B. I am having a major problem finding a gastroenterologist willing to perform a colonoscopy based on anticoagulant meds I take. It seems the doctors are assuming the medication has to be cardiac related and won't accept the referral and pre-op authorization from my PCP who is the prescriber.

I had colon cancer surgery 6 weeks ago, it seems like I’m not healing from it.. they took out 12” of my colon and an aggressive type of cancer!! The length of a hotdog bun and as big around as a peach.. don’t have a clue if he got it all.. 😥😓

[@abbeylan7982]

How do I get off of my PPI? I’m 35 with severe Gerd I’ve tried taking it every other day but there was no way

[@Sparkling-Cyanide]

Yeah, I’d like to know the answer to that too.

[@richyakuoko2360]

I had severe gerd too. Acid reflux disease, morbidly obese, and sleep apnea. I now weigh 180 pounds and used to be over 320 pounds. I got off nexium and many other reflux medications including tums through diet. Go completely plant based. No dairy, cheese, and other animal products. Cut out sugar, soda, fried foods, cookies, spicy foods, and any other highly processed foods. Cut out white carbs such as white potatoes, pasta, rice, potato chips, and other white carbs. Instead eat whole grains, sweet potatoes, wheat pasta, beans, lentils, brown rice, and almost any vegetables. Except maybe avocado. For the time being cut out nuts and seeds. Until the pain is completely gone. Then slowly add nuts and seeds in the diet. But eat very small portions. Eat small portions of food a day. And when you eat dinner wait 3 hours before you go to bed. Never eat heavy meals before you go to bed. Cut out tomatoes and onions for the time being. Cut out oranges, grapefruit, cranberries, mandarins, and any other acidic fruits. Instead eat bananas and melons. Cut out coffee, green tea, and hot chocolate milk. Cut out chocolate, peppermint, gum, and any type of mint. Cut out all sugary drinks including all juices. Instead make your own juices with a juicer. Cut watermelon and add a little water and mix it. If you crave something sweet. Put bananas in a mixer with almond milk or a bit of water. And you can drink a delicious banana shake. If beans bother your gerd cut that out too until the the gerd gets better. I am not a doctor or health professional. But because of the lifestyle change. I no longer have severe acid reflux. I felt terrible for about 17 or 18 years. And I was tired of taking ppi's and runs etc. I was tired of having sleep apnea and sleeping with a PAP machine. It may seem a bit difficult at first. But when the severe burning in the chest goes away you will see it's all worth it. I was literally coughing up blood sometimes. And I was addicted to food. If I had known about plant based diet many years ago I would have been vegan years ago. I am now almost 41 and have not had gerd symptoms for about 5 or 6 years. Hope this helps both of you. GOD bless you all.

[@Sparkling-Cyanide]

@@richyakuoko2360 Oh, wow. I already am plant based but I do eat some of the plant based foods you suggest to eliminate. I switched to decaf coffee, but maybe that’s not enough. I usually only take the PPIs a couple of times a year for a few weeks at a time and then stop. But the GERD is getting worse. I don’t want to take the PPIs at all but sometimes the Gerd is so bad I can’t breathe. How long did it take you to heal? And could you ever eat some of those foods again, specifically coffee and citrus? I don’t eat any vegan junk food, but it looks like some of the healthy foods may be affecting me too. Thanks.

[@mamat1213]

@@Sparkling-Cyanide there's a ton of info out there but ultimately every Body is slightly different... So you have to be the scientist of your own body and conduct your own research to see what works for You. Start strict and see if that helps. Then slowly reintroduce acidic foods one at a time, little by little, to test it out. That's what worked for me. Good luck 🤞

[@richyakuoko2360]

@@Sparkling-Cyanide That is great that you are already plant based. I think you should try to stop drinking coffee for a while and see how you feel. It probably took about a year for me to see a difference In my gerd. But that is because it took a while before I was 100% vegan. I do not drink coffee. But I never went back to citrus fruit drinks because I was scared that it would come back. But everyone is different. Although I suggest that you go on a strict bland diet like I suggested. Just too see if you feel better. I'm not trying to scare you but gerd in some cases can turn to esophageal cancer. That will NOT happen to you in Jesus name. Just try your best because this is your health and I'm sure to pain is too much. I was tired of the pain and the ppi's. In some people blueberries and bananas can trigger them as well. See how it works. And also don't eat canned vegetables. They can cause gerd too. Eat fresh or frozen. And don't eat pineapples for now. Also speak to your doctor. And try to get your esophagus examined. To make sure everything is ok. Hope this helps. GOD bless you.

Depends on where you think the lesion is Colonoscopy is the preferred one If you are scared get a virtual Colonoscopy through CT scan The downside is you can only see things but you cannot remove things like polyps or do biopsy’s or any intervention like the conventional colonoscopy

Is it true that cabbage can kill ulcers? Saw an article several years ago on inmates that had ulcers and started eating and juicing cabbage for 6 months. They got ulcer screening afterwards and saw ulcers were either smaller or gone where u can see where they used to be.

[@mairzydoats4879]

They're just trying to rationalize why they feel better omitting fiber. 95% of Americans don't meet the minimum daily recommendation of fiber to begin with and it only takes a bad case of food poisoning or some strong antibiotics to finish what little microbiome they had. So they get IBS and blame fiber for their digestion and energy problems. But the book "Fiber Fuelled" goes into detail on how to reverse this damage and eat healthy again. I fell down the keto rabbit hole and that book saved my life.

Colon hydrotherapy, I think, is an excellent way to clean all the meaty crap that might be stored in the colon. Apparently some countries used to refuse to do surgeries until patients had their colons cleansed, back in the days when hospitals and doctors cared about keeping patients healthy rather than making money off our illnesses (she says cynically, recognizing there are still good ones somewhere in the mess)

[@mairzydoats4879]

So many people have died from colon hydrotherapy. If you're constipated some magnesium citrate can get the 💩 out without perforating your colon or backwashing bacteria up into the small intestines and causing SIBO.
