A member asked:
I've been told my bowel is very long and twisty - through bare um enemas - is this problematic?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Normal: Just like people, colons come in all sizes and configurations. It's not a real problem , but it can make it more difficult on a barium enema or colonoscopy to see everything.
