Has anyone ever heard of tortuous colon? What symptoms does it cause, and can they do anything for it?

Question:

I recently had a colonoscopy and this is what they found. It wasn't fun. I also have a gallbladder with a "0" percentage refraction(?), a heital hernia, acid reflux and a hyperactive small bowel. I am a slender, young, attractive female with terrible gastro issues! I currently take no medications of any kind. Can anybody help?

Answers:
Flax is good for intestinal and stomach problems as well as ginger. Avoid dairy in case you're intolerant. There are meds that can be given to slow peristalsis which sounds like the the root of your problems.

You don't take any meds? Wow! I'm on plenty, two for my gastro issues if you don't include the prune juice;). I've been on other things for my gastro issues, too. (At least you're slender with it. I don't even get THAT out of it.lol) I know you can fix the hernia and take Nexium or something for the reflux but I've not heard of the others. I'm sorry you've got to go through all that. All that I know about it is that it usually results in problems with constipation. I have never known anyone to have it though. Your probably overwhelmed with all these GI problems but you are blessed to not have to take any medicine right now. Good luck with everything!!
