Stool: It must have been some of your stool which finally migrated all the way down to your anus and out of your body. Your gastroenterologist appreciates that in that he will be able to have a clear view of your entire colon because you did such a good bowel prep and he will not have to clean you out from the rear end, so to speak.

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.

I have had a yellow fluid that sat on the bottom of the toilet bowl leaking out of my constipated albeit solid stool I've had ibs like symptoms. What is it and should I be concerned? I had a colonoscopy and it came back clean with small hemorrhoids?

Been on one day of liquids for colonoscopy, starting second day. Haven't taken laxatives yet but noticed last formed stool was green. Why might this be? Should I inform doctor/emergency? Deeper green color.
