I'm amazed they did the balloon test on you (which I've only ever heard of in research studies) but NOT a colonoscopy! 
They actually did the balloon test on me before the colonoscopy too. I think it depends on your doctor. In fact, they did the colonoscopy on me LAST.

He doesn't seem to be listening to me either! Or for some reason, I'm suppose to be in this pain and gas and bloating for which I am not aware of.
I also spend a lot of time in the bathroom expelling gas! Isn't that a nice place to spend our lives! 
I was told that sitting upright is best for going to the bathroom, not bent over. NOt sure if this is for C or for gas or for both. Keep your back as straight as possibly and breath. Sometimes I twist at the waist or push my tummy in too. But again, not sure if this advice was given to me for the Gas as well as the constipation, or just the gas. I think it is recommended as the best way to sit on the pot all around.
GL and please keep posting. You are not alone, unfortunately. We need to keep each other going. This is too hard without the support.

A doctor I went to years ago who was a complete A, sorry, also told me to stop bending forward, that I needed to sit up straight, and that only let me believe even more that he had not a clue about what I was telling him, how I had to push with all my might and with physical force to get the gas out. I would like to see him try that sitting up straight. Didn't he ever see a women giving birth when she is in that final push, laying down but leaning forward and pushing. Well believe me, i have just sat there up straight for hours and tried to let my body do it's own thing, but it doesn't. Direct force and leaning forward is the only way to give birth to that life destroying gas.
