I did not know a colon could get twisted. How does it happen?

There are several ways that the colon can become structurally distorted, including twists, constrictions, ballooning and prolapses. The reasons for this are numerous: chronic constipation, lack of adequate fiber in the diet, the presence of pathogenic organisms, nutritional deficiencies, a toxic-laden colon and stress. When twists are present they often occur along with constrictions. The colon can return to healthy structure and functioning without medication or surgery. A thorough colon cleansing is in order to eliminate toxic material. Conditions such as candida and parasites should be addressed, and beneficial bacteria should be replaced with a good probiotic. A whole foods diet with special emphasis on vegetables and fruits should be consumed, and any nutritional deficiencies should be corrected, particularly minerals as they are essential components of structural tissue. A series of colon hydrotherapy sessions are helpful as they provide an internal work-out for the colon and aid in re-establishing healthy peristalsis. Regular slant-board exercises may also be very beneficial. See Dr. Jensen's Guide to Better Bowel Care by Dr. Bernard Jensen for exercise instructions and a more detailed discussion about these conditions.

Told during my colon test for my physical that I have a twisted colon & the dr. could only check i/3 of my colon. Was still a little spacey & did not ask WHAT IS A TWISTED COLON? Do not have any problems nor did I know. Could you give me info. on this? T
