A member asked:
Colonoscopy said everything was okay but bowel movements changed?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Due to bowel prep: The bowel cleansing needed to remove stool from the colon before colonoscopy can change the mix of helpful bacteria that live in the colon. Eating yogurt, especially greek yogurt, for a couple of weeks will likely return things to normal.
