I just wanted to add my two cents to this thread.

I went yesterday for colonoscopy not because I have had symptoms of anything, just because I turned 50 and Dr. wanted a baseline.

Results were, no polyps, hemorrhoids (internal) and Diverticulosis.

When I started LCing back in February I was terribly constipated and did strain to have a bowel movement. I have had no symptoms other then constipation.

Since adding psyllium husk powder to my protein shakes twice a day and eating a lot of fruit and veggies that are high in fiber the BM's are better.

Just goes to show you that even though you think you are doing all the right things you never really know for sure.
