Anyone else have a Redundant / Tortuous Colon?

I know this is old, but I am wfpb and my redundant colon didn't bother me at all(3-4 bowel movements a day) until February 2022. My wfpb doctor thinks my colon twisted and turned to a different position. I had excruciating pain for a solid 2 months. My high fiber diet has done nothing for me. The only time I'm good is if I consistently eat 2-3 servings of fruit a day. I've gained 30 lbs over the last almost 3 years. Part of the gain is from the colon issue and part of it is from eating more foods with oil.

wfpb dr? Means ? GERD Diet 20y's taught me food self discipline. I needed the pre-requisite for IBS, colon prolapse, & multiple diets. Until torturous colon & gastroparesis. Eliminated all oils, all fiber. They sit in stomach 6 days for me & the 7th I'd be blessed to have a bm. Otherwise poop like grease separating in water. I hope you're feeling better
WFPB... Whole Food Plant Based.

mskaren2009,
What helps me is slippery elm inner bark powder. I eat some with every meal and snack by dissolving it in warm or hot liquid, adding to pancakes or hot cereal, etc.
My dose is 1/8 teaspoon each time, but I am sensitive to everything and always use less than others.
Give it a try if you like. It supports the mucosa and that why I think I benefit. It helps stool move through my severely redundant colon. Note that I have no pain to date; I am just extremely constipation-prone.
