Hello all.
I have had the redundant colon all my life ( hard to believe ) !!!! I am now 73.
I’ve lived on laxatives and fibre and it’s miserable because it constantly gets used to one product and then fecal compaction occurs.
It’s a big worry now and I want to have surgery . Has anyone else had successful partial removal ?
Desperate….

My health problems, including the stc, started after I got Mono at 17 and have struggled with ebv reactivation years after. I believe my stc is a direct cause of this, among other things. Yes, exercise, small meals, fodmap, lots of water, etc. My stc is diagnosed as idiopathic.
