Hi, I had colonoscopy one week ago and everything was fine. I am concern because I can t seem to have a normal BM after my colonoscopy . I have been taking merelax for the last 5-6 days. my stool is soft ,but I don t feel the urge to go. When I do go my stool is thin and only small amount comes out . I don t feel any pain and I am passing gas. Is it normal to experience this after coloncopy ??
