Hi there Gidge, I just went through that test also to find out if i had adhesions on the bowel, what they are really checking for is to see if the adhesions are causing and obstruction. It is a bit uncomfortable but if you feel unconfortable tell them and they will give you something to relax. Once you have the test fror about 2 days your bowel movements and urine will come out white so don't be scared. I was thought something was wrong heheheh. May I ask where you live and please email me if you want to talk because I am going through the same problems.
