Anyone else have a Redundant / Tortuous Colon?

Nova, Are you talking about a cecal volvulous? Cecum is abnormally rotated and it is a congenital abnormality. I had a 6 foot long, tortorous colon which gave me trouble with constipation all my life. At age 60 I developed an acute bowel obstruction from the rotated cecum, which I never knew I had. 3 years ago I had a right hemicolectomy which saved my life. I don't have constipation problems now but having part of your colon removed can cause other issues. Has taken me a long time to get over the surgery and I do have chronic SIBO now due to no ileocecal valve and wide open anastomoses at resection site. I take Xifaxan every day for the SIBO. It's been a godsend.
