Anyone else have a Redundant / Tortuous Colon?

Hi-I was recently diagnosed with torturous colon as well. It makes sense since Menopause I’ve experienced worse IBS symptoms. My doctor told me to add ground flaxseed to my diet and I can say this works really well! I sprinkle it ontop of food -you really don’t taste it- and it keeps me regular and stools are easy to pass. I had two polyps so I’m waiting for my results but not worried. Anyway ground flaxseed is definitely the trick for me -very high in fiber.

Welcome to Connect, @jennb, and thanks for sharing your insight about flaxseed. The therapeutic and beneficial properties of flaxseed are well known, and there is growing research to support its use. You might be interested in reading this journal article about "Dietary Flaxseed as a Strategy for Improving Human Health” https://www.mdpi.com/2072-6643/11/5/1171/htm

May I ask if you would share more details about the polyps you mentioned? Did you have a biopsy to determine their status?

Agree on flax seed. Chia seeds also seem to have same effect for me.
