A member asked:
Can a colonoscopy irritate crohn's disease and cause symptoms to worsen?
3 doctors weighed in across 2 answers
No: Occasionally multiple biopsies and the prep may result in a day or two of minor bleeding, and possibly loose stools, but that should resolve rapidly.

Possibly: The medications to make the preparation for the colonoscopy may worsen diarrhea and cramps. Yes it should go back to the symptoms you were having before the colonoscopy soon.
