A 32-year-old male asked:

I've been doing a colonoscopy prep and am now only passing greenish liquid, however it feels like there might be something solid left. is this common? last three trips to toilet were all liquid.

Prep: Sometimes diarrhea can travel around solid stool. This might be what you are feeling. Your colonoscopy should give you the answer. Sometimes if you are not emptied out enough, your prep may have to be repeated. Or you may ultimately pass something more solid. All the best.
