schwarz,

I'm glad my suggestions may help you. The head injury may be cause for discussion with the doctor. If he looks at you like you're crazy for mentioning it, stand up for yourself. I don't tolerate doctors that do not listen to the patient. Unfortunately, you will find that if IBS is the topic, their eyes glaze over, and they say, "take fiber." UGH!

That is a good sign that there is no visible blood. But, I would still insist on the colonscopy and endoscopy anyway.

As far as the diet goes, I'm not sure. My thought would be to eat soup, jello, pudding, or mashed potatoes. I would think semi-liquid foods would be easier to hold down.

Please keep us informed at how he's doing!

Melissa
