Anyone else have a Redundant / Tortuous Colon?

I really feel everyone’s experiences are so different. I’ve not received a whole of information from my dr.
Mine “seems” to be affected by stress and consistency of material in the colon and body position There are times I can actually feel it externally just at my hipbone. Thought I had a hernia. Nope. Internally it will either press against my hipbone or something in my female parts, or….both. Often when standing between 10-30 minutes. It will get progressively worse if I don’t lay down or majorly scoot down in a chair to the point I cannot walk or even get onto my bed w/o very major pain. Of course, the sooner I take steps to minimize, the less time I need to mitigate it. If it goes too long, I need to be in position for a half hour.
Have missed a couple of significant occasions….
The only suggestion I can give is be sure to never be constipated. Lots of produce and water all throughout each day. I believe constipation is what got me here.

Thank you kamommy,
In past couple years I’ve noticed a sharp, deep pain under my right lower breast that is relieved when repositioning. I’m now wondering if it’s my long sigmoid, as it’s happening more often. I’ll take your suggestions! Thank you! I want to avoid surgery!
