Anyone else have a Redundant/Tortuous Colon?

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.

@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?
@dfloyd1133 I was diagnosed with a redundant torturous colon in 2023 and I have been searching for answers solutions ever since. As soon as I think, I have an under control with diet and exercise and meditation bam a flareup. And the flareups are coming more often and more intense. The last one had me in bed for two days with excruciating pain. I had emptied my bowels, but it felt like every inch of my colon was inflamed and on fire. I am at my wits end. I’m 73 years old. I have lots of energy, but I can’t make any plans because of my unpredictability of my colon issues. It has affected every aspect of my life. And it is so difficult to explain to people why you can’t drink alcohol why fiber doesn’t help and why you have to eat certain foods and avoid others. My wish of living a somewhat normal life in the last season of my life has vanished. Is there anyone out there can give me any kind of hope at all🙏

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.
