let's see what he says about the likelihood of low stomach acid, and where his head is at regarding these results.
he is the one that spooked me. i guess he's required by law to tell me the chances of a tear during a colonoscopy, which were one in a thousand - numbers he thought were low.
1/1000 is not unlikely - it means tears happen all of the time. those are not good odds for an unnecessary procedure, and i'm qualified to tell you that. odds of colon cancer at my age, given that i've been on a low meat diet since my early 20s, are much, much lower.
and, we'll see soon if that was the right calculation or not.
