A member asked:
When after a colonoscopy does a person normally have diarrhea?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
After a colonoscopy: Your colon is empty so it may take 24 48 hours of eating a regular diet before your stools normalize. Much longer than that and you need to report this to your endoscopist.
