A member asked:
Is it normal not to have a bowel movement now for four days after colonoscopy?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Yes: With some patients due to slow transit, the colon may not fill up significantly enough to ellicit a bowel movement. As long as there is no pain associated with this, this can be regarded as normal.
