I'm glad to read that your colon was OK, Nola0250, and you got the proper help.

Please, no one take my post as a discouragement to follow up on suspected physical issues! Sometimes they really are valid, and not just in your head. Actually, following up on such issues with regular doctors or specialists often relieved my anxiety when they'd say it was nothing. When they said it was "something", I got the care I needed to get past it. Sometimes I had to get second opinions, though. There were a couple of things I was diagnosed with that really did turn out to be more psychological than physical. There were a couple of things that were basically both. Psychological issues/trauma can indeed bring about physical symptoms that need attention.
