Maybe the mild inflammation was due to the laxatives that one has to take prior to the colonoscopy. It certainly causes me inflammation!
could it be IBS? Which, in fact, is describe as a chronic inflammation of the colon.

I wish it would show your link! Part of it is blocked out. But that is interesting...I do have IBS, but I thought there was no inflammation with IBS and that inflammation generally meant something like UC or Crohn's. I'll have to look into that.
I had thought about the bowel prep too at first, but I don't think it would be that, because it said "chronic"
