Anyone else have a Redundant / Tortuous Colon?

Once back in September I paired daily miralax with daily fiber for 2-3 weeks and was able to shift to fiber only and it was gloriously successful for almost two weeks. Then the fiber starts to pile up inside and lose all its moisture by the time it gets to the "business end." Thanks for the suggestion.

Does anyone have tortuous colon and bouts of diverticulitis? Found out about the tortuous colon in Jan when the GI Dr couldn’t get the scope all the way. I’ve had two bouts since late Oct and then got c-dif from the antibiotics in early March. I’ve lost about 30lbs since Oct. I worry about getting diverticulitis again. Some days I’m spending all day in the bathroom, but not diarrhea, just going a lot with firmed stool, other days nothing. Having internal hemorrhoids doesn’t help things out either, and neither does my chronic anxiety. I don’t know what to eat anymore. I don’t know if I should be eating cooked cauliflower or broccoli, or just stick with bland vegetables like green beans. Those of you who take miralax, do you take the full capful or maybe just a teaspoon? I know I have driven my GI Dr and his office staff nuts already. But it seems that every day a new problem pops up and my anxiety has me going over the deep end. Thankfully I see a psychiatrist off and on and he has prescribed Ativan to take as needed such as when my mind really starts to race.
