Anyone else have a Redundant / Tortuous Colon?

barjar -- Glad you found relief. I Googled the drug and NIH said it is used for bile-acid diarrhea or ileal resection/disease. Is that what you had/have? Note that I have read that even with a tortuous colon, it doesn't always bother people and a gut health problem can lie elsewhere.

Thank you for your reply. You make a very good point. My diarrhea
followed surgery on my colon following a cancer diagnosis. The tortuous
colon may not be the problem. It is bile malabsorption that causes
my diarrhea. However, the Cholestyremine stops the diarrhea.
