Are they the same thing? Which is better?

What did you think? I am on the bowel cleanse right now and can’t really post any of my questions about a possible daily meal plan sample. What do you or any other person who has done it for a long time eat on a daily basis?

I am doing a colon cleanse before i start a fairly large diet [at least 50 lbs by august!] and i was wondering what the colon does and how many pounds on average that you might loose. thanks!

Did everything turn out good? No problems in the operating room? No infections? My dad is 71 and needs the surgery. Please help

I woke up this morning with a throbbing rectal pain and at first I thought it was hemorrhoids, but there’s no blood or itchy feeling. It’s been a whole day and it still hurts. What’s wrong? (I exercised a lot last night, could that caused it).
I used the elliptical for a while. Much longer than I usually do.

I have been diagnosed with i.b.s im also quite worried as a number of family members have dies from stomach and colon cancer. I am trying to regulate my diet and be very careful, i would like to know your experiences of colon hydrotherapy, and colonic irrigation. I would love to know more about it and a good place to get it done in london, how much it costs how often to go and what are the results like.

Thanks

I have diaherra at least a few days out of the week with stomach cramps. When I use the bathroom the stomach cramps are somewhat relived. I ahve had these problems for years. But lately its worse, I had a colonoscopy last month so I don’t have colitis or anything and everything with my colon is normal. I go to a GI spealist this week.
The diaherra happens usually after eating greasy food like McDonalds and sometimes after Mexican food.

artificial chicken is a meat-free product made for vegetarians that tastes like chicken and gives protein. It’s usually around 4.00 a box and I get it from the grocery store. there is also veggie burgers, veggie dogs, and alot more. But my question is: is it ok to eat while cleansing your colon?
b/c im taking pills for it but they say not to eat anything artificial.
and yes there is usually less fat calories in the meat-free products than the real meats.

my mother is having a colonoscopy tomorrow afternoon, and has trouble preparing for them. the stuff she has to drink (i’m not entirely sure what it is) causes her to uncontrollably vomit; i believe it might be a liquid saline laxative. i know its a tad gross but if anyone has any suggestions i would really appreciate it.

Ok so im doing the colon cleansing diet/ fasting. Im just starting so of course im gona feel a little full for a day or 2 but is there any way that i can feel full without eating a single thing. Would drinking a bottle of water with those crystal light powders in it be too sugary for my stomach and the fast will be worthless? Any thing you know about this, please tell

I was looking at some stats and I noticed that hispanics have the lowest rate of colorectal cancer in the usa, lower than whites and asians. Is this due to diet, or is it genetic?

like it’s really sharp and feels like it shoots all the way up there…it lasts for a few seconds then goes away. lol when I get them my eyes bulge out cuz of the sudden pain…is this common, or something serious, like should I be worried about it? I am 14, female, NEVER "did anything". lol so I know how some of you joke about "that stuff"…and I know probably none of you are doctors, but maybe some of you are.
I was in at the doctors this past week because I was having diarrhea and nausea and stuff like once or twice every week, she said I might have IBS (irritable bowel syndrome). but these pains have gone on for many years, and I don’t get them a lot.

hmmm…maybe I should become a doctor…I ask so many health questions on here…
no, it’s not from my job…I don’t have a job…lol…I mentioned earlier that I was 14. I go to school

I am not talking about the ones where you order and just pay shipping and handling. I found a combo that is sold together in CVS pharmacy. Before I buy it, I want to get some feedback.

Im 19 years old and im just trying to loose 7-10 pounds of fat (im 5’5 and weigh 126lbs, iv been working out and trying to eat healthier but this weight just wont come off. Would it be safe to take the supplements for a short period of time? Im usually against substances but reviews iv read are so positive.

ok, is there anyone who knows a way to do a natural at home colon cleanse. See, i am going on a 15-21 day fast to detoxify my body. If i am not eating, there is nothing that will make me have bowels movements exept if i have a colon cleanse. anyone know of any variations or alternative teas to drink to have frequent bowel movements while on a juice fast.

I keep having this pain behind my ribs, are they from my intestine or my kidney? any doctors?
Thanks for answering.

Hello,

A little over two weeks ago, I experienced really weird and very painful pain in my upper abdomen. It felt like a wave of pain was going from one side to the other. I never had that before, so I ended up spending a day at the hospital. They made me do blood tests, since they suspected I might have had a case of appendicitis. I also did a few chest x-rays, I believe in order to check if there was any obstruction in my intestine, because they also suspected constipation. None of them turned out positive for any of those signs. The general surgeon could not understand what it was. Whenever he pressed on at the top in between my lower ribs, I would be in a lot of pain. In the end, he told me that I might just have constipation, and to just improve my diet with lots of fiber and liquids.

I began doing so, but then whenever I go to the washroom now, I have rectal bleeding with pain. I find it on the toilet paper and in the bowl as well. I’ve been doing some readings, and what I’ve found was that I might have a case of hemorrhoids, which would explain the bleeding. I’ve been trying to keep up a high fiber diet, although I must admit I might not be taking the 35g recommendation. I will start taking Metamucil, so hopefully that’ll help a bit.

Looking back at what I had, I’m really worried that I might have a type of colon cancer. Is it possible with the symptoms I had/have? Has anyone else experienced this and found any answers?

I would greatly appreciate it if anyone could help,

Thank you

Am seeing more and more about this…does it work? What time of the day should you use it? How long does it take to work on you. What happens to you when you use colon cleansing stuff? Is it fluid, pills? Just curious…Thanks!

I have stage 4 colorectal cancer, in liver and lymph nodes,, on avastin, since doc 05 the tumors have decreased half in size but oncologist is still saying i am terminal and no surgery can be done.

Today, i do anything i want to , altho i get tired walking so bought me a medical scooter hehe. But most days have no paini thanks to motrin and morphine, and feel normal enough to want to go fishing and camping and horse back riding again..and if someone had told me last year i would of ever felt like doing that again, i would of told them they were crazy! IF you have/had this cancer, do write me, as ido not know anyone else who has it ! thanks

Hi, I am eleven years old and have a pretty good health history and I don’t get sick very often. I didn’t pass bowel movements for a week or so, and I told my mom. A day later I finally went just a tiny bit. It’s been three days since I’ve passed a bowel. Finally, just now, I went. This is gross, but I couldn’t go so I stuck toilet paper on my finger and put it up my anus. I took it out and there was a big amount of blood. I repeated the process and showed my mom. Then, I went a couple pebbles of bowel movement, and there was blood. She said she wasn’t too concerned. I kept trying to go and it was painful. I don’t think I got all my bowel out, but now my anus feels really swollen and it really hurts. It almost feels like it’s "tight." There was also some dark mucus in my bowel. I didn’t eat anything out of the ordinary. I looked at my butt on the inside in the mirror and there are three giant red swollen lumps inside. My mom said they are hemorrhoids and was puzzled because she never heard of a child getting one. She bought me some cream but i’m still on the toilet for hours and hours in bouts of pain. I have anxiety and don’t feel comfortable with a doctor looking in there. I got pepto bismol, stool softener medicine, cream, and an enema. I used the enema and it really stung. All that came out was the enema, and it looked like my butt was urinating. It also burned. I just went and a gallon of mucus came out. What should I do? Could it be something other then a hemorrhoid? What could it be?
