Chronic constipation: Sounds like you are chronically constipated, given the meds you are on. Constipation can be from diet, meds, anatomical, neurological causes. Left colon gets cleaned out with enemas for a sigmoidoscopy. This may all be normal for you, but don't have any details. Call md who did procedure, report in.
