I’ve had loose bowels and back pain for around 12 weeks now.  I was referred to have a colonoscopy last fri. It was the most painful experience of my life ( I’ve had 4 children easier).  It was so painful that it had to be stopped. 😡 so frustrating as I’m desperate to find out what’s going on. 

Anyway before the prep my stools had got somewhat better. Then obviously prep causes you to empty bowels.  

Then today 3 rd day after colonoscopy I opened bowels and really soft again (not diarrhia, but not terrible firm). Is this just a result of the prep meds messing my stomach?  Also very light in colour. However first time in weeks that stool hasn’t floated ??,,   Anyone got any ideas.
