What Causes Abdominal Gas And Diarrhea After Colonoscopy?
After my colonoscopy I had lots of gas.. and running stools, also no control, I had to be careful where I went or I would mess my pants. Its been 2 1/2 years and I am now almost normal. They want me to get another one and I don t want to. Have you heard of this. I did take lots of different over the counter meds for his problem but none did a thing.

Hi,
Colonoscopy per se is not the responsible reason for the diarrhea at this period. It is the underlying IBS or other intestine issue, which requires intensive management to control the symptoms rather than taking OTC products and waste time.
Hope I have answered your query.
Let me know if I can assist you further.
