Hi, I was looking up relief for ibs, and saw that Align helps many things and diarrhea, with IBS. Has anyone used it and did it work? i need it specifically for diarrhea, and sometimes bloating/gas. Thanks for your help!

Doctors have been trying to find out why my son is having stomach pain. He is 11 years old and has gone through many of tests. The last test was a small bowel series where he drank the barium and pictures were taken. The results came back that he has a obstruction on the intestinal wall. So now the doctors are debating on how to take a better look. Option 1 is too do another small bowel series with and with out contrast. Option 2 is a pill cam The problem with the pill cam is that it could get caught up with the obstruction and cause more problems meaning surgery. Then there is concern of to much exposure to radiation if he has another small bowel series done. If anybody has experienced this please give your input

I want to get one. Have you ever had one? Does it hurt?

Dr. Oz, from Oprah, said men need 35g of fiber a day to help prevent colon cancer. My Stroehmann brand enriched Hot Dog Buns have only 1g of dietary fiber. How do I make up for the lack of fiber in my diet?

What enzymes/chemicals are involved with the
1. pharynx
2. esophagus
3. cardiac sphincter
4. pyloric sphincter
5. ileocecal valve
6. cecum
7. appendix
8. ascending colon
9. transverse colon
10. descending colon
11. sigmoid colon
12. rectum
13. anus

If you know even one of them please help!

Do I have any other options other than chemotherapy? It hasn’t been confirmed that the primary cancer is in the small intestine – it has been assumed.

How can tissue engineering be used for diseases such as ulcerative colitis or colon cancer?
Any kind of applications of tissue engineering in these diseases would be great help.

I am colon cleansing, and I done it before 6 months ago, and last time I did it, at the end of the week it hurted so much

But now I started again after 6 months and instead of hurting like at the end of the week, its hurting the first day! T_T It hurts so much! What to do?

how to fix the pain when i poo?

I’ve been suffering from this for a few months now and it’s progressively only gotten worse. I was prescribed antibiotics for a possible bacterial infection as the cause but it proved ineffective. My physician told me that it’s very difficult to treat, and that the complete causes are somewhat of a mystery. I suffer lower back pain and sharp rectal pains, now I’m having trouble with bowel movements and erectile problems. I’m 22 years old and very frustrated. Could it be stress-related? I’m an extremely anxious person. Anybody with any insight at all would be greatly appreciated.

I am 2 weeks into feeding my dog to Blue Buffalo – my dog loves it. He did the transition period and even ignored the old dog food to get to the Blue pieces. He has vomitted a couple times, has some loose stools and even had a little blood in stool. He seems to be more energitic and happier. He doesn’t seem to be bothered by the bowel problems. I want to know if this is normal when changing dog foods… I am fine to wait a few more weeks to see how it plays out… During the food transition, he also stayed at my parents for a week (change in his routine) while we vacation… so I wonder if that messed up his system.

It kinda makes sense to me that if you cleanse out the old food and going organic – it would take body sometime to get used to it. I mean even us humans going through crazy bowel stuff if we change our diets.

Is giving him another few weeks okay??

How much miralax do i need to buy to clean my colon out? I know i have to be on a clear liquid diet, but i wanna make sure im 100% cleaned out! how much gatorade? im nervous! help please

I’m 20 and have just finished chemo for bowel cancer. I experienced quite a few of the symptoms, including tingling in hands and feet, darker skin on hands and feet and exhaustion, and have a temp ileostomy, which should be reversed soon. I was just wondering, how long before your body went back to normal? And have you had any issues with fertility?

My mother, a dietician, said that if we had enough fiber in our diets, colon cleanses are pointless…

so my questions–

1) do colon cleanses really work?

and

2) if they do work, would they work if you’re already regular and eat plenty of fiber?

The blood is drying on his feet
Intestines make him choke

Also does it hurt and what are the perks and results.

Since your going to poop it out anyways?

I have had a spastic colon for more than 8 years. I know what to eat and what not to even touch. My situation was controlled for some time but two months ago I woke up with a burning pain in and around my shoulder – almost inside my cartilage. I took blood tests for rheumatoid arthritis and the amount of acids in my system. Both were higher than normal but not really a danger. I am taking anti-inflammatory tablets but the pains have spread to my muscles. I am eating a balanced diet suggested by a dietician. I also exercise 5 days a week for an hour at a time but I am still gaining weight. I gained almost 15kg in 9 months. I am always bloated and suffer of heavy constipation, dizziness and fatigue. What is going on with me? Who should I see next? I have been to so many doctors and they keep on telling me it is my spastic colon! Could it be my thyroid? Please, any advice.

I feel like this is terribly disgusting to have to go through for one colonoscopy. anyone ever been tortured with this drink?

It is the mitral valve and it is leaking 30 percent. My dad just gets tired easy and is short of breath sometimes. Does colon surgery sound safe for him

for the past month or so i’ve been getting weird pains in my mons pubis area. the pain sometimes spreads to my labias, but not around or in the vaginal opening. the pain feels like the muscle ripping, but it’s not that painful. it doesnt stop me from going by my normal day, i’m just worried lol! it only last for a few seconds, 10 seconds max, and happens around 2-5 timesa a day. some days its worse than others. i also get a sharp pain around my anus hole (lol) and my butt cheeks at the same time, although this is a sharp pain, different to the mons pubis pain. its hard to describe sorry…. if it was just pain, like ‘one of those things’ i wouldnt care, the pain doesnt really disturb me, i just worry incase its something bad!
the pain started beginning of december, and i didnt get the pain for just over a week, just after xmas i think, and its just come back in the past few days. the only thing that i changed is my diet, but other than that i didnt do anything different.
one more thing, when i first experienced this pain it was this situation:
i got the pain a couple of times, but it wasnt as often, and one day i randomly went to stand up, and i felt a really bad pain – like an electric shocl/muscle ripping kinda pain, which lasted for about a minute, then faded. this made me think it was a pulled muscle, but it hasnt got better.
i’m 16, virgin, and i suffer from ibs, so is this a symptom of ibs? please help guys xxxx

Why did you do it?

I’m in a contest with my husband. He has always been overweight, and I recently became overweight with the birth of our third child. (all born within a 3-year period.) The contest ends on January 1st (and we hope that the weight lost by then will be motivating enough to keep us going.) and I heard that colon cleaning can be a great kickstart to any diet.

We’re doing this all natural with a change of diet and exercise. No pills involved except for Colon cleansing. So I’m wondering what I can buy at GNC or some other drug or health food store.

im looking for a good colon cleanse that works and won’t hurt my body. what have you tried..did it help? i am looking into this but i want to use a good product, not just products from these cheesy advertisments.

I have been on Natures Sunshine Enviro-Detox (cleans liver, lungs, kidneys, skin and intestinal tract?) for 5 days. In this time I have had a mild stomach ache, and a pain that feels like it’s in my gallbladder, making my back hurt too, and very itsy-bitsy bowel movement after I drink my coffee, when normally I have a very good movement. I feel if I were to have a large bowel movement, all the hurts and pains would go away. Feels as I am stopped up very badly. Is this the way this stuff works? Is it coming soon? Or am I having a bad reaction to this natural cleanse?
and I also noticed a "smell" from my skin. None of this happened before I started this detox. Is this all normal as to how it works?
