Anyone else have a Redundant / Tortuous Colon?

@bgiddio I've been suffering with constipation for the last couple of years. Female, 56. Torturous colon.
What baffles me, is the amount of poop that apparently needs to come out, these days. Incomplete evacuation, always, even after lots of 'business' that two years ago would mean i was finished for the day.
It makes me wonder if it isn't moving too quickly through me? But then gets stopped up at the end? The poop (ugh, even i hate getting this intimate with my bowels) is not totally formed, during the 'remainders' and often looks like it hasn't had time to...form, fully!

@electracat I have been taking Linzess daily ( highest dose 290 mg). It helps somewhat…. Would give it a 5 out of 10. I’m not consistent with taking Metamucil daily because it bulks up stool…when one has a tor. colon now the stool has to twist & turn even more to get out! I changed PCP drs and my new one whom I love told me to try MiraLAX once per day and Senna-S caps. She said ( as well as MANY DRS) that Miralax is safe to take long term ( despite what is written on directions ) and Senna is from a plant so both are okay long term. You might give that a try. Try for a couple of weeks consistently to see if it helps. I mix my capful of MiraLAX in my coffee and take the Senna-S caps (2) before dinner. It really is a never ending poop concern!
