Perusing this thread since I'm going in for my first colonoscopy in January. I take blood thinners so the doctors (and insurance company) have had me do the screening tests and see if they come back positive before getting 'probed'. Up until now they have all been negative, including a Cologuard test just before the COVID crisis. The latest Cologuard test came back positive so it'll be my first time with the scope up my backside. The gastroenterologist mentioned Cologuard is a lot better at detecting colon anomalies earlier than the old 'test strip' method, but it still has 'false-positive' readings. Also the laxative solution is not as vile as it used to be and comes in a few flavors.
