and the issue he has is severe/chronic constipation. They thought they were going to remove part of his colon, so when they went in to check, that's when they found the other issue and scheduled a biopsy.

Which part of your son were they scoping? Irregular mucosal patterns can indicate a variety of issues from benign to more serious depending on where they're looking, indicative symptoms, etc.
