Is it normal to still have gas pains and no bowel movement three days after EDG and colonoscopy?
Gas after normal bowel movements. Low carb and low sugar and dairy diet. Incorporating fiber - prunes, apples raisins, oatmeal. Colonoscopy 6 years ago was fine. Not sure what causes gas after a bowel movement?
2-3x/day for 2 days: excruciating, sharp, stabbing pain in lower left abdomen and rectum, relieved by bowel movement, passing gas or walking. Colonoscopy 1 yr ago was normal. No nausea/vomiting/fever/blood in stool. Could this be gastritis or IBS?
