Not his problem! He is so regular it makes me mad. I have avoided getting one for a slightly different reason, I suffered with excruciating pain from fissures for over a year, and there is a slight chance that the colonoscopy could irritate them again. You have given me another reason to be wary. I have had the constipation problem since early childhood, it may be related to my hereditary neuropathy (CMT), with extremely slow motility, so I would be a prime candidate for the scenario that you describe. It is a tough situation to be in.
