Anyone else have a Redundant / Tortuous Colon?
Digestive Health | Last Active: Nov 5 4:01pm | Replies (1097)Comment receiving replies
I have redundant colon and and pelvic floor dyssynergia. Doing biofeedback with pelvic floor physical therapist is really helping. I do the exercises religiously three times a day. I hope the MR defacography gives you more information to direct the therapist. Did you also have anorectal Manometry? I haven’t had it yet, but I hear that is very important for the therapist’s knowledge. I’ve been told I don’t have a motility problem, but I know of others who do and have responded to Motegrity. Wishing you all the best

Thanks for the info on Motegrity. I just started it two days ago. Osmotic laxatives for some reason just don't work. I've tried em all. I do respond to stimulant laxative (Dulcolax) and Motegrity works on increasing peristalsis, so I'm hoping this helps.
I'm not asking for the world, just 2 to 3 real BMs a week!

I have had the mamometry
Done twice with varying results. The second time, the technician commented that I must have been having therapy since my results were so much different. I hadn’t. The issue I have with all these tests is that I think they are very subjective. I am always very nervous and stressed when doing them, not to mention embarrassed and uncomfortable. Plus, it’s hard not to “second guess”. Will it be bad if I don’t “sense” something soon enough, oh I could easily have held that in a lot longer. And the whole “push, relax, squeeze, repeat”. Relax!!Honestly, I’d like to see how much they could relax with a probe up their nether regions!
