Severe tortuosity and redundant colon

Suggestions for a next step here. I have this condition, and it seems like every 5-6 months I get jammed up due to eating something that doesn't agree with me. I've always had success with a couple colonics purges and higher doses of linzess for a few days. Not this time though. I've tried those for the past couple weeks and still no relief. Always feel it on my R side just under the rib cage...must be a bend in the colon there? Very uncomfortable of course, and anything I eat just can't get anywhere to digest. Wondering what to request from my GI doc now...likely a CT scan to see what is going on internally??
