Is Enlarged Colon A Dangerous Condition And Will It Go Back To Normal?

Hi,
My daughter has an enlarged colon and I know she needs help. She is going to college next year and I do not know what to do? How can I help her. She will not talk to me about it. Is it dangerous for her health? Can it heal or go back to normal.

HI.
Enlarged colon in a girl of college going age needs very careful evaluation by barium studies, colonoscopy and biopsy if needed.
Needs the diet adjustments, regularization of bowel habits and so on under the guidance of an Gastro Doctor.
Yourself doing something at home will not be a good idea.
