No, I would not be worried. If your colonoscopy was normal, with no sign of colon polyps or colon cancer, then this is related to the function of the colon. I would continue the Metamucil and try to work on maintaining good hydration. Eat a healthy diet with lots of vegetables and fiber. If the problem persists, talk to your primary care doctor or your G.I. doctor. Good luck.
