Anyone else have a Redundant / Tortuous Colon?

I have chronic idiopathic constipation and a redundant colon. Two years ago, my gastroenterologist recommended a new capsule called Vibrant. When a capsule is electronically charged and swallowed in creates parastatals in the colon, thereby pushing the stool along the colon. Most of the time it works very well for me and prevents constipation. Is anyone else using this? There are drawbacks which I won’t go into in my initial post.

I have been diagnosed with a tortuous colon (via a colonoscopy) and am totally enema and laxative dependent, so I'm excited to hear about Vibrant! Would love to hear more about it. Thank you for your post.

Can you tell us more about this capsule?? I have never heard of this?

I have considered the Vibrant pill, but given the tortuosity issue, I'm scared that it will get stuck in a bend/loop. Is this an unfounded concern in your experience or your GI's expertise? Thank you!
