Post-procedural care for patients who have had a colon examination should include the following:

Instructions for maintaining hydration.
An increase in fluid intake and dietary fiber for a few days after the examination.
Being aware of the change of stool to ash-grey color and the importance of eliminating the barium during defecation.

A colonoscopy is having a wide-ranging analysis of the large intestine. The inside of the rectum and colon can be observed for polyps, cancer or Chron’s disease. The tissue and polyps can also be removed during the process. Some minor discomfort such as gas, bloating, or mild cramping is normal after a colonoscopy.

Post-procedure care includes resting, maintaining hydration and not drinking alcohol for the next 24 hours.
