Severe Bloating and Distention: How did you find relief?

I found out in May 21 that I have redundant/tortuous colon , but no physician followed up and I guess I only looked it up to see what it was. Now it is giving me major problems. I especially like your description of the "feeling moves elsewhere." Does anyone know if any x-ray/MRI or CT scan actually shows where the loops and sharp turns are. I want to know where mine are, which might help me understand what I am feeling. Does it change? Thanks for the idea of keeping a poop diary. Great idea. I currently am just increasing fiber, water, walking and using MiraLAX nightly which is working pretty good. See the gastroenterologist on Thursday for the first time since my colonoscopy and upper endoscopy. I just have no idea what cause it to begin giving me problems. And unfortunately it took 3 months to get answers.

Increasing fiber may not be the solution. I would talk to your doctor first. I have had many blockages and a few surgeries to know that until your bowels settle it is best to do a low fiber or low residue diet for up to 8 weeks. Not forever but talk to your dr first
