Dear- you might have intestinal irritation from the colonoscopy .Other possibility is just the intestinal movements from irritable bowel syndrome, which doesn;t have anything to do with the colonoscopy but just an isolated situation. Banana will help to replace potassium which is helpful if it is low.
I hope I was able to help you.
