Anyone else have a Redundant / Tortuous Colon?
Digestive Health | Last Active: Nov 5 4:01pm | Replies (1097)Comment receiving replies
Had first colonoscopy ten years ago. The procedure was long and it took me 24 hours to fully recover from sedation. I was told I had a tortourous colon.
Only ten years later in for second colonoscopy I was told I had been given extra sedation during the first procedure, so I needed to inform all the medical staff of that historyl
I will be scheduling my next colonoscopy, unfortunately with a new physician. I am anxious that this doctor understand my situation and will proceed cautiously.
I have IBSD, flare-ups, worry about risk of incontinence, and hope to find better advice and possibly medications to help.

Just went through this and you would think my dr who is a motility specialist would have known better. Had me do a 3-day low residue diet which is basically high-carb no-fiber prior. What it did was totally constipate me so I was behind going into the prep. Did the jug of Golytely. Thought I was good. Nope. Couldn’t get all the way in. Told me my colon was like a roller coaster. Next time, no low-residue, two-day prep. More Golytely. So talk to your doc about this Before!
