Don't know what is normal anymore

I apologize for the TMI....I had my scope on Wednesday last week. Since then I had very little actually BM. Mostly been having gas with mucus, with a tiny bit of loose stools, but I wasn't uncomfortable as far as feeling like I needed to have a BM. This morning had some oats. about 45 min later I had a lot of very painful gas and then a large amount of pretty solid BM. Was I constipated and the oats moved this along or was this a bad reaction to the oats? And how do I tell the difference. I hate this.

How did you feel after the BM? Have you eaten anything since?

I felt a little shaky. Still feel a bit gassy. Haven't eaten, not sure I dare.

I vote for slow bowels post scope and a painful catch-up day.

Ditto kazbern. Oats can give me extra gas if I eat a lot of them. Scopes can definitely irritate things in the colon, so it's not too surprising that you're having some problems with things that normally don't bother you.

Thank you all. Good to know this is typical after a scope. I had no idea what to expect. I have been pretty much eating just meat and eggs since then LOL
