A member asked:
During colonoscopy dr tried but was "unable to enter ti" - possible causes? could whatever prevented it also cause severe constipation?

That's very common: Terminal ileum is not always intubated by colonoscopy--in one series the rate was 72%, and this has often little to do with pathology. (Ref. Dis Colon Rectum. 1985 Jul;28(7):499-501. Endoscopy of the terminal ileum. Börsch G, Schmidt G)
