Diagnosed with Long Colon after colonoscopy

For me I became worse 24 hours post colonoscopy/endoscopy. Worse as in very plugged up/bloated, and pain upper R abdomen that then radiates into my lower back. Just feel more sickly when this happens, and basically cannot eat any solids. Am going in today for a blood draw to check enzyme levels (live/pancrease). The doc who did this procedure mentioned as you get older it is more common to have a redundant colon. So what to do about it now the question, I really don't care if this is more common as one ages (is that really true?), how I feel now at age 60 isn't acceptable for however many more years I have to live.

I don’t believe it’s more common as you get older ! How does a colon suddenly grow longer 😳
No , I think we are born with a longer colon….
It’s just any issue seems to be more difficult to deal with as we get older… my opinion. Get well soon 👌😘
