You unfortunately are not alone. I was told I have a tortuous colon after my colonoscopy with no mention of a bowel narrowing/stricture. I have severe untreated osteoporosis, a 9" height loss from multiple spinal compression fractures, peripheral neuropathy and resulting pain and wobbliness from carrying around a very bloated belly on spindly legs. The lower rib pain in my very bloated belly increases after a meal, reducing my appetite. A dietician suggests a low fodmap diet to decrease the bloat. My gastroenterologist says the answer is daily Motegrity to decrease constipation. that may cause the bloat although I have about 2 bms a day. I think it is amazing I can still walk and function at all.
