Had colonoscopy friday having terrible bloating and cramping but no bm today. had constipation before test. i already drink lots of water & eat fiber?

Not to worry: Prior to colonoscopy you were given laxatives with liquid diet the day before, all the stools being cleaned out.After the procedure although you can eat but still not much yet, i would wait for a day or two if you will have a bowel movement. If not, see a doctor to have a blood test done to check for thyroid problems .Stress may affect and cause constipation as well.

Usually this: Is due to pockets of gas trapped after the colonoscopy. With the bowel prep it is not unusual to go 2-3 days after a scope before you have a bowewl movement. Eat light meals until you do and sometimes warm tub soaks or a heating pad can help. If you are running a fever call your endoscopist immediately.
