Yes I think I am getting some relief, and no, I have pain and the fatigue, but I think I am on the correct path now.

When I read about what a redundant colon was, I realized what was going on for real. Why I was having the pain especially after a bowel movement. That is horrible, I would end up in tears at times. When I eat a high fiber bread, or cereal-it is like I put a plug in my intestines-I have pain, and my bowels do not move. What I have learned is that I will never be able to eat normal, so I can just forget that, I will always need to stick to a moderate fiber intake, No high fiber, but moderate amounts of fiber are best for me, I feel the best when I cook and puree my vegetables, and at times I even puree my meat. I do not eat beef, and pork ( I get polyps). Not good with a lot of fish ( I had uric acid crystals), but I do eat tuna, and canned oysters, and sardines, maybe once or twice a month. I am thin. But, all in all I am so happy I found out about the redundant colon, I do feel better than before.

I do have a question for anyone, and everyone. Is there any connection to Diabetes? If you have chronic gastritis, with a redundant colon does it set you up for Diabetes, or does Diabetes cause the chronic gastritis?

Thanks!
