Hi i recently went to the er and they did a ct scan and saw a large amount of stool in my abdomen and stomach but they didn't tell me how to remove it?

You: shouldn't have stool in your stomach, that would be a serious issue. As far as stool in your colon, if you are not obstructed or experiencing constipation, it will come out naturally. Talk to your doctor about the results.
