Kelly Ripa shares Michael Consuelos’s ‘Young Colon’ Story!

Kelly Ripa shares how Michael Consuelos’ colonoscopy report was excellent.

That funny moment when Kelly thought, ‘Oh my God!’

Famous TV host Kelly Ripa was recently recounting a story. She was talking about her husband Michael Consuelos’ colonoscopy.

When Michael regained consciousness after anesthesia, Kelly burst out laughing at his condition. She said, “And I thought, ‘Oh my God… he’s still unconscious!'”

It sounds like something that happens to all of us, doesn’t it? Someone gets a medical test, and then the ensuing laughter and jokes begin.

You have the bowels of a young man!

Well, the best part of this story was Michael’s test results. The report came back completely clean! Michael doesn’t need this test for the next 10 years.

Kelly’s joke upon hearing this was golden. He said, “You have the best bowel, the most amazing bowel the doctors have ever seen! You have the bowels of a young man.”

Really, if you get such praise in your medical report, it’s truly amazing!

So, when is this test necessary?

Now let’s get to the real issue. What is a colonoscopy test, and who should get it?

The US CDC recommends that everyone get screened for colon cancer after the age of 45, and then repeat it every 10 years.

However, some people may need to get this test earlier. Such as:

• If someone already has a bowel disease, such as Crohn’s disease or ulcerative colitis.
• If someone in the family has a history of bowel cancer or polyps.

That is, if you are over 45, this test is an essential part of your health checklist. If a problem is caught early, it makes it easier to treat it.

So, this was Michael’s funny story about healthy bowels and an important health tip.

Along with fun and laughter, it’s important to take care of your health.
