Hi Danielle,   The condition you have is called Intestinal volvulus or twisted intestine. It is good you have caught this now because it can become a life threatening issue. If the intestine is twisted to the point of the blood supply being cut off, the tissue will die and gangrene can set in. You can read about twisted intestines here and more information is available here. There is also a section here about prevention and treatment.     I hope this helps somewhat. Online resources are great places to find information about your health that will help you ask all the right questions when you see your doctor, but they can not take the place of your doctor's sound medical advice. Take care and stay in touch. Let us know how you are doing!Vicki M
