Anyone else have a Redundant / Tortuous Colon?

I was diagnosed with it about a year ago. My protocol was 2 meds for constipation, 1 med for inflammation, that's it. I found a great nutritionist, who taught me how and what to eat.
Doing quite well. Yes, find another Doctor.

Hi Sally, I have had Gerd, gastritis, constipation for years, have been to 4 of 5 Doctors, only to be told to take laxatives. Finally went to a good gastroenterologist, who did a colonoscopy and diagnosed me with tortuous colon, pancreatic insufficiency, lot of inflammation. He put me on Creon a prescription for pancreas enzymes and mesalamine for inflammation. I took my information to a nutritionist. She put me on a diet that was high in nutrition, basically soft foods, breakfast and lunch were smoothies with almond milk, protein powder, fruit, veggies, MCT Oil. She gave me a whole folders of recipes of lunches and dinner, soups. I chose six meetings on line with her for questions and suggestions. She was great, that was six or more months ago. Its helped with stomach issues and constipation, as long as I stick to it.
Feel free to ask me any questions.
