When I had my last (and only) colonoscopy attempt seven years ago the doc stopped because of diverticulosis and sent me to the barium room. Apparently diverticulosis is a precursor to diverticulitis. However they put me on the ten year schedule, so I don't get another one for three more years. Since my father died of colon cancer, I thought they did direct relatives sooner. According to the doc it's still every ten years. My father never ate a vegetable and ate lots of bacon & gravy fed to him by my mother. Good luck & try to stay on top of it.
