Thanks for your responses. I've seen a bunch of doctors today including the
endo who performed the procedures. The unanimous diagnosis seems to be a
nasty case of infectious gastroenteritis. They've sent a stool sample for
analysis but I've been advised to keep hydrated and just sit it out. Still
cant help feeling that the doctors protested a little too much about the
infection having nothing to do with the procedures though.

Anyway - thanks again for your responses.
