Hi, I have had IBS-C since my teens probably and I'm in my late 40's now. In more recent times I have been diagnosed by a gastro doctor with tortuous/redundant colon. I had a colonoscopy and endoscopy which told the doctor what was going on with me. I had an abdominal hysterectomy a couple years ago (huge fibroids) and I'm thinking that contributed to this colon thing. I really need HELP because I'm always uncomfortable and terribly distended in my abdomen even when I can evacuate my bowels. This is getting worse as time goes on, I'm not fitting in my clothes. Acid reflux is worse and there is always air in my actual stomach as well. It doesn't seem to matter what I eat or drink because it all has bad affects. That gastro doctor has tried everything he knows to do to no avail. I'm trying to get in with another specialist but frankly I'm discouraged that there isn't anything that can be done. Any ideas???? Does anyone else have this issue? I've looked on line quite a bit and haven't found any answers.....seems others out there haven't found help either. Please, I don't know what to do except cry....
