Amaranth for Redundant Colon and Chronic Constipation

I also have a redundant colon along with adhesions and mobile cecum. I have intermittent intestinal obstructions as well. You can drive yourself crazy doing the right thing but it won’t help. Sometime I think doctors give you stuff to eat and do to keep you busy and off their back.

I have been at this too long however and done it all. A tortuous colon is a mechanical thing and no amount of microbiom blah…blah….blah crap will work. It is more the texture that goes through loops. Think of your intestines more like the kitchen sink and what can go down the garbage disposal. If you get stopped up eat only liquids. I take a stool softener daily. Since i am prone to obstructions, i don’t take stimulants. My surgeon told me that you can’t open a locked door and stimulants will make things worse.

Trying different things the doctor tells you to take or do makes him feel that he is proactive to make everyone feel better. Don’t bother as none of it helps. Don’t eat raw veggies. The fiber just stops up the works.

This post is old, but I hope you're doing better. You mentioned having mobile cecum. I posted several times for the first time today because I'm trying to find out how other people were treated for that and if it worked. Some people apparently have surgery, but i'm hoping for more details.

I am not better, I am worse. I now have 2 inguinal and 1 incisional hernias. This is all left over issues from my appendix rupture in 2015 while at sea on the Atlantic Ocean. My first of many surgeries took place in the Azores.
I cannot get surgery because no one wants to get involved in my messed up abdominal region. I also think my advantage insurance plan will not pay enough for a specialist to do the surgery. A PPO won’t take me due to preexisting conditions.

Try one of the Mayo clinics. Good luck!!
