@cristinaespejo Hi Cristina. I'm sorry, but I don't have tortuous colon, just awful IBS. Lol.
I hope possibly another Connect member might contact you with some help with your diet. I imagine it would be a different diet than mine. Wishing you a Merry Christmas and a HEALTHY 2022, Cristina!

I'm a 70 year old female and have dealt with a tortuous colon and constipation all my life. I'm active and have always been athletic. I exercise 6 days a week. (just some background). I am not sedentary. In the past 9 months I've also been recovering from C-diff, which was due to taking Clydamycin for a dental procedure. That was AWFUL and, truthfully, we weren't sure if I was going to make it but God pulled me through. That being said, because of that I ended up on this site where I learned about Prunelax, which has helped me keep regular, more than I have ever been in my lifetime. I also use psyllium powder, sprinkled over my oatmeal (8mg), occasionally use Metamucil fiber crackers, drink 4 large glasses of water a day, minimum, plus a couple large cups of coffee, maybe a diet soda, fruits at breakfast and lunch and sometimes dinner, bran flakes for cereal, or as part of the cereal. I'm finding (for me), since I found the Prunelax, I can eat what I like but I do follow the above. I have a routine and stick to it and also watch the quantity of what I eat. I never gorge myself. I even eat ice cream and/or frozen yogurt in small quantities, and sometimes not small if I have a special waffle cone a few times a YEAR. I hope this helps. I find that we're all individuals and we have to find what works for our own bodies. I wish there was a cut and dried script to follow but there isn't. It's a journey and a long process but keep the faith that you will find what works best for you. I've cried many times because I've been miserable, or embarrassed because I was running to the bathroom because of laxatives,.................I truly understand. Don't give up and say your prayers. The answers will come, one step at a time. Merry Christmas to you. I wish you all the best and I"m always open to sharing my own experiences and hope it helps someone else. Jacque

Just diagnosed with tortuous colon, and not clear on what diet to follow. FODMAP? High fiber? Would appreciate any suggestions.
