@katemu thank you. I took her for a CTA (abdominal arteries) with contrast a few weeks ago and she was cleared for ischemia. I’ve been taking her everywhere to get the root issue.
We finally know it’s redundant colon, likely from prolonged constipation. She eats fairly well - lots of veggies, fruit, yogurt, Ensure, mostly chicken or pork for meats. I need to work up a meal plan for a high-fiber diet and try to get probiotics that help keep things moving.

@trishcnwma And maybe try something like Mira lax in her morning juice. The doctors told me to use it daily or every other day so I don’t end up with serious constipation because I also have exocrine pancreatic insufficiency. There’s no taste and it dissolves quickly and easily.
Is your sister not able to advocate for herself?
