                                An estimated 15% of the population may have an extra-long, or tortuous, colon, with many experiencing related digestive issues. While not inherently dangerous, a tortuous colon can cause symptoms like pain, constipation, and bloating, and certain foods can significantly exacerbate these problems. A careful diet is often the first line of defense in managing these uncomfortable symptoms.
