Thank you for making this video😊 I think when it comes to colons, it's a topic that is discussed often enough..
To all you young people out there, I was diagnosed with diverticulitis at the age of 28 and the doctor told me no worries your colon looks just like everybody over the age of 80😮
I'll never forget being in the office and I was absolutely the youngest person in the room and I was speaking to a lady that was well into her 80s and this is what she said...
I would give birth to triplets if I never had to have this pain again 😢 please take care of your colon ❤️

We have a family history of colon cancer, so my sister and I get a colonoscopy every 5 years and I've only had 1 polyp removed in 2 decades of screening. But we eat differently; fresh veggies and fruits, whole grains, etc., whereas my grandfather wouldn't even eat the skin on a tomato. I can remember my grandmother dipping tomatoes in hot water to loosen the skin and peel it off for him. He had a colostomy in the early 70's. Eat well and get your screenings!
