>I'm sorry that was my error. I mean to say the surgeon doing the test had to abort the test. He was able insert the probe into my rectum but could not go further. He tried twice and then stopped because he did not want to puncture the colon. My family doctor that order the test says he is at a loss as what he should do for me. I am concerned. Surely there is some way to determine what is the problem.

Hi again
Most likely your bowel were not clear last time and so I would advice you to polyethylene glycol again and follow all the intructions on leaflet after that repeat the procedure again.
