Anyone else have a Redundant / Tortuous Colon?

Hi, this is very helpful. Would you mind sharing a little more about your smoothies you do for breakfast and lunch. What kind of protein powder do you use and vegetables and fruit? I too have a tortuous colon. Struggled my whole life with constipation. Diagnosed with colonoscopy at 18, now 34. Tried all kinds of medicine. I take miralax and motegrity and still get blockages on my lower left side where the kinks are really bad. I'm thinking about doing smoothies for breakfast and lunch too now from your suggestion. Thank you so much to everyone on this site. It gives me hope.

As far as smoothies, it has become my everyday breakfast, seems to get things going. I use a ninja blender, with one scoop of Genuine Health organic vegan protein powder suggested to me my nutritionist, with 2 raw veggies and 2 fruits, usually spinach. piece of zucchini, blueberries, strawberries, or anything you want to experiment with, also a tablespoon of
MCT oil, with flax powder, a 1/4 teas. ginger powder, 1/2 teas. cinnamon, with 3/4 cup of almond milk, and and some pomegranate juice. You can have oatmeal.
I highly recommend going to a certified nutritionist, unless you are lucky enough to find a Dr who is interested in any other direction than prescription meds and laxatives. My nutritionist
suggested blended soups for lunch, stick with soft foods for dinner.
I was strict in the beginning, and when I go off, I have problems, also have IBS just to complicate things. Happy to discuss anything, questions, etc.with you. Betty
