Gastroscope / endoscope via stoma? Is this risky?

SaffMember

Hey all, Hope you are all managing you health ok amidst the covid situation.

I have just found out I need to have a gastroscope next Tuesday due to intestinal bleeding / nausea etc. My gastroenterologist wants to go in from the stoma (as well as throat). I've not experienced that before - have any of you?

Any experience with the risks ? eg potential damage to stoma?

I had Jpouch removed 2 yrs ago. So its an end ileostomy.
