Three days after my colonoscopy, I am still having lower abodominal pain.. It is not severe and doctor said it should be air. It is possible because I didn't pass lots of gas. Any way to get rid of them quicker? more walking or less walking? More fiber or less fiber? Gassy foods or less gassy foods? Thanks.

I use walking and peppermint tea. Yes peppermint tea...I know it sounds odd but I heard the advice from someone on here after I had trapped air after an out patient surgery (not Uc related) and it got rid of it super quick. So now I use it with the c-scope air bubbles too, works pretty good.

With my scopes they always take biopsies, also. So the open biopsy site can also cause some pain. I can see where peppermint tea would also soothe that problem.

I had a colonoscopy recently and it took ten days for my digestive system to feel the way it felt prior to the colonoscopy. All of those biopsy sites take a while to heal and my colon and rectum were noted as 'Normal' with no active UC.
