Hi, I,too, have had colonoscopies. 3 of them in the past 5 or so years.
They always put me out because my bowel is very large and very floppy and
hard to examine this way. Primary Physician says the surgeon earns his pay.
The surgeon always says my bowel is as clean as a whistle. I ran this
past my chiropractor who raised the question, what about the small
intestine? Also you could wonder how fast the gunk could build up between
such sessions. Now I am being urged to have at least part of my large bowel
removed. I am still holding back on that one. Ruth

I don't believe all that about the buildup of gunk in the intestines. It
seems to me that the mucous membranes are pretty much self-cleaning. Think
about if you eat peanut butter...even that doesn't stick in the throat for
long. In the small intestines, the food is even more liquid.

I have had perhaps 30 colonoscopies over the course of my adult life, about
half of which were video camera documented. I had familial polyposis (lots
of benign polyps) and have actually watched numerous biopsies collected
from my intestinal walls & cauteries of smaller, early-stage polyps. In no
case was there ever any evidence of anything but shiny, pink, glass-like
surfaces inside. They actually expand the sections with air as they move
along so they can get clear camera shots & even with that, it remained
perfectly smooth, clean & pink. Not saying everyone is like me, but I eat
as much or more red meat than the next guy & tend to overdo it on the diet
(currently about 60 pounds overweight). Who knows...in my life, the
evidence says that not eating after 8 pm the night before the procedure and
taking a bottle of magnesium citrate is enough to create the shiny colon
effect...
Your mileage may vary?

Someone (Linda maybe?) remarked several months ago that, during a
procedure where she was awake and able to observe, none of the gunk on the
intestinal walls could be seen - the stuff that is often assumed to build
up and adhere in the lower bowel. I've been wondering lately whether I
missed a discussion about this interesting observation. Wondering what
people think about it, given all the products and cleansing regimes based
on the idea that everyone has this sort of gunk and needs to get rid of it.
