Listen especially if it talks to you a lot. Mine does, and it turns out that that is caused by a birth defect. Even the excellent, well-known functional medicine practitioner that I had at one time couldn't find it with all his tests. But when I finally gave in at age 67 and had a colonoscopy, the scope wouldn't pass all the way through and I had my explanation, and it was something my father had mentioned as a possibility when I was 20 or so (this evidently ran in his family), but he didn't elaborate at all -- something about "a kink in the gut" was all he said -- and I didn't understand that it was a well-known thing.
