colonoscopies actually involve a scope going through the large intestines/colon. it give the doctor a way to view the surfaces of the large intestines to see if there are any ulcered areas, any unusual pockets, and disruptions or abnormalities of any kind.
i don't really care for the fact that your doc doesn't see the point! yes, you're young. no, you haven't seen blood. but you've had diarrhea almost constantly for YEARS. i believe that warrants a colonoscopy. in fact, it's the front-line test for most GI docs.
