Anyone else have a Redundant / Tortuous Colon?

Had a virtual visit with my dietician yesterday. Though the low fiber diet has definitely made me feel better from the tortuous colon standpoint, I am still struggling with my slow motility. The diet does not help with that. She has suggested prune juice and smooth move tea to help with that. It does have senna so I am going to check with my gi on regular use of it.
I feel I must mention that though I am more than happy to share all my information, it does make me a little nervous. I know you all know this already but I don’t want anyone to try these ideas without consulting their doctors or to at least realize these are things that may be working for ME NOW. I went into the low FODMAP diet last year out of desperation, under the guidance of a trained dietician and ended up in the ER with an impacted colon. So, I am now cautious of what I read and what I try. But this diet is actually the same they use for gasteoparesis and I did run it by my gi. The tea actually did work really well!!!

@Sally123 - I appreciate the warning to keep in mind that your shared ideas are only what you are trying NOW.
I feel the same way about my shared info.
Traditional Medicinals Smooth Move Senna tea does work well for me also. I note that each cup of tea provides 20 mg of sennosides vs Wal Mart's Senna-S capsule at 8.6 sennosides per capsule. I'm curious to know what your gastroenterologist will have to say about it.
I appreciate all the shared ideas in this group.
