Hi Amanda, Thank you for connecting. I’m happy to try and offer helpful solutions & advice to others. You just never know what’s going to be good for another person, and what they’ve heard or not before. I’ve been through a lot of different medical things in my life and feel like I’ve gained quite a bit of knowledge, I try to educate myself regularly and use common sense too. I was first diagnosed with the Tortuous Colon approximately 15 years ago. Then after 5 years told by another GI doctor I didn’t have it. I was re- diagnosed 2 years ago. Besides dietary changes really being a big help, I also do some gentle massage on my intestinal tract from time to time. Castor oil packs feel good at bedtime and are supposed that be helpful in moving stool. Not totally sure if it’s worked for me, but it’s very soothing anyway!
