Most likely it's the diverticulosis. Discuss with the doctor or clinic where the colonoscopy was done.

Diverticulosis or another source in the small bowel, for example, may be involved. Your gastroenterologist remains your best reference at this point.

Had a clean colonoscopy in May. Have seen a random tiny tiny spec of blood like a dot on my stool - can hemorrhoids just leave just a tiny spec of blood on stool? Is there any reason to question colonoscopy can something be missed? Thank you?
