I had hemmroid surgery (internal) 3 months ago. Since then, every time I have a bowel movement, I have MAJOR rectal spasms. It’s like my body attempts to push down there and it’s uncontrolable. The pain is compared to labor pains (and comes and goes like labor pains) but only in the anal area. I have been back to my doctor and he has done an additional scope and found nothing. I am wondering if anyone else out there has had a similar problem like this and if so, what was causing it and how can I get it to stop? This is a serious issue for it keeps me up at night and interferes with my taking care of my children because of the pain, so please, no stupid responses. The doctor’s can’t figure it out so I’m just hoping someone out there can help. Thank you so much.

My son has lost over 50lbs. He is trying to enter the Navy. He has to weigh 170lbs. He has been stable at his weight now for over 5 months, and nothing seems to help. We even did a colon detox! He needs to lose 25 more pounds. We have tried a lot of ways to help him lose, but nothing seems to be working. He now does P90X, Is on the Adkins diet, and takes Hydroxicut. What do you suggest?

Does anyone know when a doctor suggests that a colonoscopy should not be performed due to age and what age?

Thank you!

Hey, so I decided that I wanted to take like a colon cleansing or detox sort of product to kick start my diet and excerise plan, does anybody have any idea which ones are good and which was scams?! Because there are so many scam ones that claim to make you lose weight and celebrities are using it and so on, but I much more interested in actually cleaning my colon from toxins and helping regulate my digestive track. If anyone has any input that would be so helpful!

What treatment would you recommend?

i just started on monday. I eat 1200 or less calories a day. i feel perfectly full and have not yet ‘secretly’ snacked on food. before each of my four meals, i drink a bottle of water to help me feel full. for breakfast i have about 250 calories such as a scrambled egg, half a bagel thin,and strawberries.
for lunch i have a whole wheat soft tortilla wrap with lettuce,4 slices of mesquite turkey,and a slice of cheese, along with an apple.
i come home at 3 and eat a LeanCuisine ( i know it isnt healthy but im eating them to get used to portions, and its easy to count the calories) so it varies between 210-300 calories.
THEN… i go to the gym around 4:30 and i burn 600 calories everyday using the treadmill or elliptical. AND SINCE, its now spring break i can manage to burn 700-800 calories.
i come home and eat again at 7, and its something healthy my mom makes like grilled chicken and a salad that cannot be more than 400 calories.
ALSO, on sundays my mom and i only drink smoothies she makes with a juice extractor, using apples, carrots,beets,celery,peppers,tomatoes,pa… bananas, mixed combinations ofcourse, and ive done this once so far with her. we had 4 glasses of these smoothies, and she said theyre meant to clean out your intestines, and they did… i really had to use the bathroom.

anyway, my question is if i keep up with the diet and exercise every single day, how long do you think it would take me to weigh 160 pounds if im at 178 and i am 5’7"?

I said a professional not a retard.

Does Acai Berry work? do you really also need the colon cleanse?

How much weight have you lost and how long did it take on this diet?

Drew and Mike used to talk abou this guy on their moring show. They called him "DR. POO" or something like that. He was/is a real doctor. The guy was selling some kind of colon/digestive tract cleanser that was supposed to produce 1-2 ft. long bowel movements. Anyone know the name of the product? I haven’t listened to them in ages, I can’t get them where I live now.

Serious question. What WAS the name of the colon cleansing product?

I self-diagnosed myself with a urinary tract infection which i am 100% sure it was, and the pain has since diminished, but the pain in my lower stomach has not. Shortly after this, i had rectal bleeding. Its bright red and causes no pain. I still have it and my lower stomach/abdominal area is still in pain. This is not normal, but i didn’t see a need to make a big fuss over it and go to the doctor. I am wondering if the rectal bleeding could be caused by the uti and if so, is it serious enough for me to go to the doctor?

Is this safe to do? I’m 18. I’m taking prozac, ritalin, & concerta. I have Leaky Gut Syndrome, so I’m doing a colon cleanse. I’m starting a new diet for Leaky Gut as well. I’ll be taking supplements later on. Will taking these medications have any effect on my colon cleansing? thank u for your help.

i was just wondering if this is going to make me have diarrhea or something? what are the side effects of the detox? thanks

I am a 31 year old female. I have suffered with painful menstrual cramps and frequent urination (as in every 15 minutes) since I was a teenager. I got married 3 years ago and found that additionally, intercourse is excruciatingly painful for me. After seeing many doctors who told me that it was all in my head, I needed to see a psychiatrist, etc, I was referred to a urologist who found I have an ulcerated bladder and diagnosed me with interstitial cystitis, and then to a obgyn who did a laparoscopy and found endometriosis, which he removed. I continue to have painful intercourse. I feels like somebody is stabbing me in the rectal area with a knife when my husband tries to enter (and he is a very gentle and patient man); and then for the next several days will continue to feel like something knife-sharp is trying to exit my body through my butt. The doctors have told me they’ve found everything they can find and done everything they can do. This is not in my head, the pain is real. I feel desperate, we have been married 3 years now and I know he feels rejected. Has anybody else experienced this? Any suggestions?

have had a pain in my left side for about 3months got xRay that showed up the large air bubble now have to have catscan done

Hello, I’ve been diagnosed with Ulcerative Colitis, had some problems, ended up in the hospital and they did another scope and my dr said that the biopsy came back inconclusive? Anyone have any idea of why or how that would happen? Should I ask to have another test? Go for a 2nd opinion??

Also: when admitted to the hospital he was thinking I had a colon infection, then he told me that he was 80 percent sure it was that but wanted to wait on more test to come back. Then next day says that I don’t have a colon infection and wanted to see what the biopsy test showed. Then that came back and he said , well I think it’s either an infection or your colitis had spread or your just having a severe flare up right now and gave me a diet plan, tons of meds and was told to do a follow up in a month? uhhh??

Its sunday night and I went to the hospital for this on saturday and they couldn’t find any evidence of blood, however it only happens after a bowel movement. I am going to consult my ob tomorrow just wondering if anybody had any idea what this could be?

I want to try a good colon cleanser but nothing prescribed…did your grandma teach you any natural remedies?

Thanks.
