Anyone else have a Redundant / Tortuous Colon?

Ask your doctor about it. You’ll still have the urgency and the diarrhea, but the cramps are a lot less intense once the medicine takes effect. I use it “as needed,” which is at the first sign of a killer cramp coming on.

Kris, thanks for the info. I had a discussion on another thread about how going off of estrogen replacement effects the mucosa in the colon. I also researched it online, and there are a couple of solid studies on it. My problems started right about the time my doc took me off estrogen. I've had a tortuous colon since at least 2008, but problems just started 2 years ago...exactly when I went off estrogen. Going to ask the doc to let me go back on estrogen cream, at least.
