Is is still like that? How old are they now? Maybe they are still suffering from constipation keeping it larger like that?

My DD is quite resistant to meds so she’s not going daily, so the colon remains stretched out.
What is mega colon? And Wow it takes that long? Does a regular x-ray show this? How do they check?

Is what constipation looks like, does the colon shrink back to size once the constipation is relived for good. Also how do you get that to shrink back?
