A member asked:
Is it normal to be bloated 3 days after colonoscopy?
6 doctors weighed in across 2 answers
Check with GI doctor: A normal person doing a screening colonoscopy should be fine a day or so after the procedure and resuming her usual diet and activities. One can call the GI doctor and ask about persistent bloating symptoms. Some patients are not "normal" and actually have bowel disorders as the reason for colonoscopy, so they may have more symptoms after the procedure.

Yes: To adequately view the lining of your colon, the colon is filled with air. It takes a few days to totally dissipate.
