Temporary Improvement After Colonoscopy

Summary

EddieB experienced near-complete remission for several weeks after a normal-result colonoscopy in the 1990s, with symptoms returning within a year; a second colonoscopy in 2014 after a severe spell produced the same temporary-improvement pattern. He suspects the laxative bowel-clearing prep itself, which wipes out much of the gut flora, is responsible rather than the procedure, comparing it to a condensed fast, but in both cases the benefit faded rather than held.
