I would seriously advise you to get a second opinion from another GI doctor. This doctor doesn't seem to be explaining what's going on which is not in your best interest. When I had my first colonoscopy, I was diagnosed with a redundant sigmoid colon. That means that there is another loop of colon in the lower left portion of my colon that most people do not have. It's not dangerous, and many people have it. People who have a redundant colon tend to get more constipated and build up more gas than others. Other than that, there are no typical problems. I was told to take Equalactin or Citrucil to keep things moving and that there would be no other complications. Your doctor should explain what a redundant colon is and where yours is located. However, it sounds as it the complications are created by the adhesions.
