A member asked:

What do u think be the reason for a person having redundant colon suffering from flatulence that could unable to control gas properly?and its solut/n?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Redundant colon: Describes a large intestine longer than normal with repetitive, overlapping loops. This is a normal anatomic variation that causes no symptoms and needs no treatment. It may be discovered by x-ray done for other reasons. Rarely, it causes a serious complication if it twists around itself (volvulus).
