I was in perfect health before the colonoscopy.  Just Wham!All of a sudden I have symptoms which no one can explain.  Can anyone tell me/give advice as to what to do next as I scream and scream and no one is listening.doc wants to do a liver function test next, but he is stumped and don't know whats wrong with me.

Have you found out anything more about your symptoms or the cause of your symptoms?  My mother had her first colonoscopy and was in perfect health before the procedure and now is experiencing abdominal pains, gas and frequent trips to the restroom.  All of this which only started after a colonoscopy, what could be the cause of all this?
