A member asked:
Following a colostomy and ilestomy what causes brown rectal discharge? what should i do
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Scope: Could be either from the prep, the passage of the scope along your colon wall or perhaps biopsy if done. These can irritate your colon and cause loose stool. I would anticipate this should improve in day or so.
