I had a colonoscopy 2 days ago and after 2 months of not having a bm without softeners and Lactulose, I was diagnosed with tortuous colon. I ended up at the emergency department March 6th after 11 days with out going. Started on Lactulose and softeners then. I’ve had IBS for years but have been pretty regular prior to this starting. I knew something changed because a cup of coffee in the morning usually did it for me. I’ve been drinking 3 17oz bottles of water a day along with other fluids and I’ve been careful about what and how much I eat. I was also diagnosed with internal and external hemorrhoids and angioectasia in distal descending colon. I know hemorrhoids are common and they were found in a previous colonoscopy. I’ve been reading here about what others are doing and have read about tortuous colon online. It’s good to have others to help understand this diagnosis!
