Constipation: I assume that your colonoscopy was unrevealing. It is not unusual to go a few days without a bowel movement after getting thoroughly cleaned out for a colonoscopy. Your gastroenterologist will give you dietary advice as well as critique your treatment regimen.If you have no urge to have bm's,then softeners and stimulants are indicated. If you get urge, work from below with suppositories and enemas
