This : This is not normal. You need to call the doctor that performed the colonoscopy. However, if you have abdominal pain and/or an extremely hard stomach, fever, nausea, or vomiting you should present to the emergency room to rule out a bowel obstruction. All the best.

Agree with Dr. J: In addition to contacting your doctor, you may take a fiber laxative like Metamucil and drink lot of water. You should drink enough water daily so that your urine is mostly colorless.
