Underwent Colonoscopy. Suffering From Flatulence And Bloating Of Stomach. Is This Normal After Colonoscopy?
I underwent colonoscopy on 9th May,2012 without sedation . The pain was excruciating and I got cramps and was put on IV. I recovered within 45 minutes.The result of the test was a normal colon . I am on normal diet now but am suffering from flatulence and bloating of stomach.Is this normal after colonoscopy? When will this subside?There is no blood in stools or abdominal pain,only discomfort due to distention of stomach.

Hi and welcome to HCM,thank you for your query.
Colonoscopy can cause such symptoms but it should last only for few days and it shouldnt be chronic. so i think that other causes are causing it and you should consider further diagnostic tests to evaluate this. probbaly this is just IBD or food intolerance or gastritis so try to change dietary first
Wish you good health. Regards
