I had a colonosocopy on december 18th and still have not had a solid bowel movement. is this normal?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Colonoscopy: Colonoscopy requires significant GI cleaning with powerful laxative formulation. Bowel habits usually return to normal on its own but in your case would try to use a stool softener or mild laxative and if not successful to call the doctor that did the colonoscopy
