Today I was given a barium enema to test for reconnection. Everything looks great, so we will be proceeding in May. However, since I came home, I've been passing what feels like bowel movements. It's mostly the solution, but I feel like there was some bowel in there too. If I'm still doing this tomorrow, I'll be contacting my doctor. Has anyone else experienced this?

G-Day Karasmatic,

I think that's normal after a barium enema, but if you're not happy, contact the doctor.

Regards, IGGIE
