Anyone else have a Redundant / Tortuous Colon?

I have a tortuous colon and trying to follow a low map diet. It seemed to help at first but now things have slowed down and having more discomfort. I started drinking apple juice (2-3 cups a day) and miralax when things are not moving as they should. It’s helping move things but still uncomfortable. I plan on flying soon and getting nervous about flying- gas, more discomfort due to flying. Any advice or recommendations?

Hi, just came across your post. I have a tortuous colon too. I didn't know that when I flew from NY to Alaska got very constipated. I don't know what a map diet is. I am on a high fiber diet, at least 30 grams of insoluble fiber daily and bring figs and chia whenever I travel. But I find the best things are broccoli, arugula, kale which really make the difference for me. Good luck!
