Hi, @exeter - thanks for clarifying.

Do you also have a tortuous/redundant colon?

@farmersmith - were you saying that with your redundant colon and working to manage your regularity, stress control has played a role in that?

No, not that I know of. Just IBS M - Mixed - sometimes diarrhea, sometimes constipation.
I don't feel as if I have stress problems. I'm not anxious and I have no other issues.

I'll look that up to see what it is, but I know I don't have it.

I looked up tortuous redundant colon and it sounds a lot like Crohn's disease which my son-in-law had when he was about 20 years old. He had a stoma on the side of his abdomen and did very well with it.

No, I don't have that. I'm sorry if that is what you are dealing with. He never complained but later on had short-bowel problems. Lived with it for 50 years. Never complaining about it.
