Anyone else have a Redundant / Tortuous Colon?

No, tortuous colon is extra loops and lengths of colon. Diverticulitis is pockets along the colon that fill with seeds or popcorn kernels and get inflamed. And I saw a small study that showed that TC and diverticulitis rarely occur in the same person, but on this board I have seen several people say they have both.

Well I’m another you can add to your list…my colon, I’m quoting from colonoscopy from 2018;
The colonoscopy was technically difficult and complex due to restricted mobility of colon, a redundant colon, significant looping & tortuous colon. Many
small & large mouthed diverticula found in sigmoid, descending & transverse colon. And of course, let’s not forget hemorrhoids (internal)…what am I supposed to do with all this info? They diagnose but don’t give any treatment, except “avoid constipation”.
Also, come back for another colonoscopy in 5 years..which I did, with the same results
