You do not have it: If you had toxic mega-colon you would probably be too sick to write to HealthTap. You may visit this site for info: https://medlineplus.gov/ency/article/000248.htm Wish you good health! - Have a diet rich in fresh vegetables, fruits, whole grains, milk and milk products, nuts, beans, legumes, lentils and small amounts of lean meats. Avoid saturated fats. Drink enough water daily, so that your urine is mostly colorless. Exercise at least 150 minutes/week and increase the intensity of exercise gradually. Do not use tobacco, alcohol, weed or street drugs in any form. Practice safe sex, if you have sex. Get HPV vaccine

Diagnosis is done by imaging the abdomen. Of note: if you had it, you would likely be gravely ill and getting worse, will low blood pressure and dizziness as well. If you think this whole description fits you, contact your doctor.
