Severe Tortuous & Redundant Colon
Digestive Health | Last Active: 1 day ago | Replies (95)Comment receiving replies
Oh I am so sorry. This was not my first colonoscopy. I have had 3-4 throughout the years, because I have had inflammatory markers in stool and had to swallow a camera and swallow studies that showed lesions throughout the intestinal tract. I have had major intestinal issues for years and they have been just getting worse. So unpleasant and painful. Lot's of very invasive intestinal tests as well, it was just this colonoscopy that the doctor said it was the most severe tortuous colon he had ever seen. I wish you well as this is such a disabling issue to have.

So, you knew you had it for a long time? Were your other colonoscopies painful and were you told about this variant? Were you sedated? I am not in favor of surgery... but if my redundant flexure starts twisting I will be looking for a really really really great surgeon. I also have signs that might be cancer on the redundant part. Blood in the colon is NOT a sign of this cancer. I too have other intestinal and autoimmune disorders, along with Hyperparathyroidism, anyone with intestinal or other "idiopathic " issues should read up on this. It is all about calcium levels. I have had secondary HPTH for 17++ years, found it when my dr could not get my vit D in normal range... I had congenital asymptomatic celiac disease, ate gluten like normal for 48 yrs, small intestinal villi were and still are severely damaged. Does anyone know why the word "constipation" is not an auto-complete word, anywhere?🤪💩
