I had a colonoscopy: its not my idea of fun, but nothing to be afraid about.
A colonoscopy and gaining weight don't have much to do with each other ( in a direct way, at least): a colonoscopy is a visual inspection of the colon. (-scopy comes from the Greek verb "skopein"= to look, as in "telescope" and "microscope") Just a way of making a diagnostic. The laxative is needed to make the inspection possible by getting the colon clean of poop, indeed.
Antibiotics would have blocked your colon? :-S Are you sure you understood it right? Antibiotics can upset the flora of the colon, which can cause diarrhea, just the contrary thus. (in Europe doctors will always tell you to eat
yogurt while taking antibiotics) Prolonged diarrhea can make one skinny, indeed.
