Anyone else have a Redundant / Tortuous Colon?

Hello everyone! I found out last year that I have a redundant colon. I've had issue with constipation for several years so it was good to finally find out why. My question is what has worked for others to help elevate the constipation? Probiotics? Atrantil? Any feedback would be greatly appreciated!

Hi @kdroud and welcome to Mayo Clinic Connect. I am glad you finally found the answer as to why this was happening. You will see that I moved your new post to an ongoing discussion about redundant colon. I did this so you could connect with other members going through similar diagnoses.

Did your doctor prescribe anything for you to counteract the constipation?

Daily exercise, including 60-70 minute brisk walk, lots of fiber including whole grains, nuts, fruits and veggies. Behavior vs. pills is better.

Have you tried OTC called Prunelax? It’s worked for many members here when other products have not. Definitely worth a try.
