Anyone else have a Redundant / Tortuous Colon?

This year in May, as an older woman with non-cardiac chest pain and constipation problems, I started a new journey to rule out acute liver problems and to treat constipation. With a gastroenterology referral, after EGD and colon scopes, the group decided that the non-cardiac chest pain was probably a bile duct blockage and that the constipation and fecal incontinence would improve with pelvic floor physical therapy. Adding Psyillium in capsules, and re-starting yogurt has improved my health as well as exercises and new ways of managing incontinence of the urinary tract system as well as fecal incontinence. Keeping up the exercise routine is difficult for me, especially with our 2020 pandemic limiting my usual recreational exercises.I do recommend pelvic floor therapy for us older folks with less exercise than ever before. Hoping for a safe effective anti-Covid-19 vaccine soon.

Hello @ceclark41,

I appreciate your posting about the different products and methods that you have used to help you with constipation and incontinence. I was especially interested in your discussion on the value of pelvic floor therapy.

I would appreciate a little more information about pelvic floor therapy. Would you be able to share a little about the exercises that helped you? Were they breathing exercises or perhaps stretching exercises?
