A member asked:
Doctor took biopsy on multiple sites during colonoscopy due to inflammation. said it may be due to prep. is she being kind to stop me worrying?

It is possible: Some types of bowel preps can certainly cause some nonspecific irritation of the colon lining. The biopsies would be appropriate to confirm this.
