Hi, @bons64 - welcome to Mayo Clinic Connect. That is unfortunate that your tortuous colon has had a negative impact on your life and nobody ever said anything to you about it. I, too, learned I had this condition through my colonoscopy results. I assumed that no one talked to me about it because I'd never mentioned any symptoms, and I learned later when I did ask about it that that was the case. Evidently everyone with a tortuous colon does not experience symptoms from it. I'm truly sorry that in your case, where you were vastly affected by the tortuous colon, no one said something about it to you.
Trying a diet of really bland foods for awhile sounds wise, and I'm glad things are at least better, if not perfect.
Did any of the medications or other treatments you've had in the past help your symptoms at all? If so, how did they help? When is your new appointment with the MD?
