My gi told me a barium X-ray with a tortuous colon is not a good idea because the barium can be so difficult to pass out of all those bends, kinks and loops and will harden if not passed after a certain period of time. You might want to consider looking for someone new. This is a lifelong issue and you need someone you can trust and will listen to you. Believe me, I’ve been through this with a number of chronic health issues and it’s a major pain. It took me five tries to find the right neurologist for my migraines. I finally learned to ask for a doctor that was compassionate and took a personal interest in their patients. I got a great doctor! I can message her at any time and generally hear back the same day. Still searching for that gi dr. Have an apt in
Sept. Hopeful maybe he’ll be the one!
