So would that usually be a classic sign of IBS or can quiescent IBD still cause gut symptoms? don't
20:20
think quiescent IBD can cause gut symptoms it doesn't make sense to me I was trying to think around the question but I don't think it can so in that post colonoscopy phase well clearly it doesn't fit the definition of IBS because that's a long-term thing once a week going on for months etc etc and this is what I mean about the term IBS is used in many different ways and But is it possible that bowel preparation has caused some post-colonoscopy symptoms? I actually often get asked if biopsies from the colon cause post-colonoscopy symptoms.

And that I think I can, with almost complete confidence, say, no, I don't believe that's doing anything.
21:07
And I say almost complete confidence because we never 100% know anything is the reality.
21:12
But biopsies, I don't really think do anything bad.
21:16
But bowel prep clearly does have an effect on the microbiome, and that's measurable.
21:20
But it is generally transient.
