My heart goes out to all of you that have a redundant colon ! Our 5 year old son has that too , his colon is twice as long as it should be we finally found out when we took him to Mexico for more test ! Cuz here in Canada the docs. Kept saying all is normal ! and he’s suffered so much already no matter what diet we try ! Becuz if a colon is too long it has sharp bent areas where not even water can get through sometimes ! And one part of his colon goes way up over his stomach and when it presses on his stomach when there’s stool in there he very often can’t eat for a day or 2 etc. we have found out what helps a little bit for his colon to not get enflamed to often is plexus brand probiotic ,
Why are doctors refusing to take out some colon ?? In Mexico we found such a nice specialist who found the problem and gave us antibiotics for his very bad enfection in colon and another kind of pills to help stimulate his colon to push the stool through, but he said if that did’t help he’d need some colon taken out ,
Anyone out there that has had that surgery done ??
Should we get this surgery done for him in Mexico by that very wise specialist in Mexico ??

Please take your son to CHOP Children's Hospital of Philadelphia, Pennslyvania
They are a wonderful hospital for chikdren.
My 44 year old daughter when she was 14 years old was diagnosed with a benign tumor on her spine.. we were told that once she had surgery and radiation she would probably never have children. 18 years later, healthy, married, mother to a 15 year old. 13 year old and 6 year old. The doctors were wonderful.
Prayers go out to all of you.
Take care

Dear Colt 1234
How is your son doing?
Keeping him in my prayers.
