Oh my dear!!! I suffer from GI issues (all my life.. tho not as bad as you..bless your heart) and I was recently diagnosed with the tortuous colon too.. AND I have not been going to church.. been watching on TV ..I mostly have to stay home as I'm soo sick.. but let me tell you this.. and it is merely my opinion... I battle fear daily.. what to eat.. what will it do to me.. when will I have to go to the hospital.. been under some undesirable doctors care now for 5 years and finally found a good one.. here's the "deal" GOD LOVES YOU!!!! He loves you just as you are!! Please do not let anyone make you feel condemned!! I am currently battling quiting smoking (I'm 70 and have smoked since I was molested at 14).. I feel guilty every time I light up (only once a week now.. I'm telling you this.. none of us are perfect..I struggled that perhaps it was not God's will for me to be healed.. standing in faith for so long.. but I have seen miracles ..have experienced miracles and will continued to stand..what you need is a personal relationship with Jesus Christ..(if I may be so bold) and you can do that in your house.. so not let the devil use anyone to make you feel bad about yourself.. if you have accepted Jesus as your Lord and Savior.. you are a beautiful child of the Most High God.. and he wants you healed.. there are alot of healing scriptures available.. here's one 1Peter2:24 By His stripes we were healed.. remember.. everything GOOD comes from God everything bad does not.. it's really a spiritual attack on our bodies..I hope I have made you feel better..I'll pray for you!! You're not being punished for not going to church ...please forgive me if I have overstepped in any way..it made me so sad to see how you feel and are suffering so.. big hugs ...

By His stripes we are healed is talking about being healed from sin. God does not always heal in this life but can use our suffering to grow us. Please read my third post on the message of grace and how to have a relationship w the Lord. I will pray for you in your battles. I am so sorry you are suffering too.

standinginfaith, I appreciate your input. On torturous/redundant flexures... I have come to believe that the idiots we were all raised to "trust, because they are so smart ", actually have a class in med school titled DO NOT EVER, EVER TELL PATIENTS ABOUT TORTUOUS/REDUNDANT FLEXURES, YOU ALWAYS WAIT UNTIL THE PATIENT ASKS WHAT IS THIS ON MY CT SCAN?
I have learned that 99.9% of redundant flexures(extra long, loopy large colon) we are born with. The twists may not always be congenital, but definitely can be. This one singular issue has GIGANTIC PROBLEMS in the movement of our 💩💩💩.
Regarding the biblical part, I have no problem with those who get relief from prayer, that God/Jesus loves us all, but we must repent and strive to not be sinners. I was raised in a very loving religious family, it was great for me then. God never gives us more than we can handle....what doesn't kill us, makes us stronger (there are songs about this). Well, I don't feel that way. 17 years ago I was in 2 recreational accidents; ocean and snow. Between the injuries not being taken seriously enough by many drs., because the damage is not easily seen or fixed. This under treatment, for years, has triggered avalanches of problems, the kind you don't connect with injuries. I don't really believe this, but I constantly feel like God must be punishing me for not being good enough for anyone's help.
I have to lie on the dam PHQ-9 form that lots of non mental health professionals insist upon using the form. A GI dr does not need to know that I think of suicide every single day, because of the pain, the pain, and more pain. He doesn't need to know that my cognitive impairment, that I try to hide, got so bad that I had my employee tell my hubby that I was making more and more mistakes than I did after the accidents. That it was getting harder to keep my clients from knowing that I was making mistakes and my employees were fixing them for me and them. I owed an accounting and tax firm, that we had to sell, because I was too stupid to do it correctly anymore. No amount of believing in God is going to give me my smart brain back. I am of no use in anything and reading that I need to repent....for what?? I still appreciate your kindness in trying to help me understand the prior comment. The big hugs are nice too. ShelleyW
