Anyone else have a Redundant / Tortuous Colon?

Have a stool test! I had similar symptoms for years! Turned out to be Exocrine Pancreatic Insufficiency ( pancreas not producing enough digestive enzymes).

I also have torturous colon. Only 2 of last 3 GI could complete colonoscopy. I keep being told it’s not possible for it to cause abdominal pain 😕

So…went to Mayo gastro to find out why I have EPI. TURNS OUT I DON’T,! Two endoscopies and colonoscopy later turns out to be SIBO. Who knew. Appears a stool test can be misleading about enzymes. Dr. said I have a pancreas of a 20 year old 🥳
