spursfan,

Fiber/roughage is good, but be careful ~ many foods that are high in fiber (and especially many that appear to be extra-desirable, such as coarse dark bread products) contain seeds and nuts, which will make your problem worse. Eat whole-grain products without added nuts and seeds, plus lettuce and other greens, for your fiber needs.

I'm surprised you're being asked to wait two months after diagnosis to have your colonoscopy. I received my diagnosis immediately after being scoped, as a direct result of viewing the results.

PS: I think your team will probably whup Phoenix, but Chris Paul and the New Orleans Hornets are this year's Team of Destiny!
