Anyone else have a Redundant/Tortuous Colon?

@queenie52
thank you for the reply.
My previous two colonoscopies required CT scans to check remainder of the colon. Was this anything that was done for you?
What types of food do you eat?
Do you drink coffee or tea?

@riley5634 I needed a special scan after my colonoscopy was not completed because of a torturous colon. With what they could get to I had two very large polyps that they removed. I’ve never had polyps before and I’ve had several colonoscopies because my dad died of colon cancer at age 53.
The scan had the same prep as a colonoscopy…
It showed that I have a polyp higher up that needs to be removed and a few other medical issues that I now need to deal with.
I had a sigmoidectomy in July removing a foot of my bowel that had smoldering diverticulitis that had never gone away in the two years that I was dealing with diverticulitis in the ER and the hospital. The polyp was too high for the surgeon to remove so I need another colonoscopy soon to remove that.
I’m going to another specialist that I trust more at Boston hospital and will have my colonoscopy with a surgeon to check the surgery and the healing and to take the polyp.
