I have a tortuous colon. I don't think it's that uncommon. I recently had a sigmoid colonoscopy and afterwards the g.i. told a few of his patients have same problem. After emailing multiple times about how I was evacuating fecus he said if I was interested he would give me a name of a surgeon who performs sigmoid colon resection. After reading some articles I was afraid and canceled the appt w surgeon. I am elderly woman.

Try changing your diet, dfloyd1133, surgery is crazy for a bit of mucus! It could be an IBS-type symptom from a particular food item.

@dfloyd1133 I'm w GES re stomach emptying super slow. I'm w redundant torturous colon. My chart 2022 read redundant c. Asked GI re torturous & YES i fit the tab. Was unaware Colon Resection surgery ? Looked at stomach options. No Fundalop re that. Wrapping stomach around another organ. Did you ever resection? How's your life going?
