Hi , I'm sorry that you have to do a colonoscopy. I totally get why you're feeling anxious about it. I don't have any personal experience with it so far, but several of our contributors and community members have written about their experience, like here: https://irritablebowelsyndrome.net/living/afraid-another-colonoscopy, https://irritablebowelsyndrome.net/living/importance-colonoscopy, https://irritablebowelsyndrome.net/forums/colonoscopy-ibs-flare. I would just try to think about it as a means to getting a more accurate diagnosis, so you can receive the treatment that you need. I hope this helps and that other community members will chime in soon. Karina (team member)
