Re: Does anyone have a redundant colon ?       03/02/05 01:34 PM Edit Reply Quote ArtKen Reged: 07/12/03 Posts: 301 Loc: Brantford, Ontario, Canada Well I was diagnosed with it last year after a barium enema and confirmed with a colonoscopy. I don't have all the answers you want I'm sure as I am seeking similar information myself. But I generally do not have a major problem what I eat except some salad oils and probably if I eat too much red meats. I also avoid kernel corn. My problem apparently got worse after gall bladder surgery. Major problem I find with this longer colon is periods of slight constipation at times even with Metamucil and more gas as I understand that it is harder to expel. But I have diverticulosis with mine and that seems to be main culprit. I find that chamoile tea or fennel teas help. Sorry wish I could tell you more. You might want to try one of the medical experts or volunteers on the AllExperts.com site, http://www.AllExperts.com Thee is no registration or fee to ask and I find it excellent.
