Your stomach will be painful as they put air in when they do the procedure.

Well if you have internal piles it could be that or did they take a biopsy cos that could bleed a bit as well?
As Nicola said, you will get discomfort and a little bleeding is normal, especially if you have a bowel that is suffering from IBS. It is not a nice procedure and takes a bit of time to settle down. If you are still bleeding over the weekend, then I would go and see your GP on Monday, but as you only had it done today, then I certainly wouldn't worry at this stage.
Hope you feel better soon.

I had some blood, it is where they took a biopsy from apparantely. I'm sure nothing to worry about :)
Thanks for your replies :) can I just ask, did they take biopsies from all of yours? They took some from mine, is this normal?

Yes I had biopsies taken and this was when they diagnosed Crohn's with me.
So they only take them if they think something is wrong? Because didn't you have an inflamed bowel or something? They told me it was routine, but I think they naw have been trying to calm me down.

They said to me, I remember the words.....everything looks fine, do you want to take a look on the screen (I remember thinking, no I don't!!!) We'll just take a biopsy whilst we are here. They can see most things..so no they take them most of the time I think....
Thanks :) did you have to go for a consultancy thing with anyone after? To discuss the biopsies I mean .

I did yes - I was referred to a specialist who officially diagnosed Crohn's.
Have they told you what will happen next with your results?
