hi yester day i pooped and it looked flat and i searched up and flat (ribbon poop) mean you could have cancer but no one in my family has had it
and i feel embrassed to tell my parents should i go check it out or change my diet

Last year I went to walk-in clinic with 3 dortors (assocites) regularly for bleeding in my stool 1st doctor send me to enema test and was negative then the 2nd doctor send me for colonoscopy last July 2007 and I was diagnosed by the spicialist with internal hemorhoid. So the treatment is for hemorhoid until Dec 2007 I feel the pain when I move my bowel with blood on the stool. Went back again to same walk-in- clinic last January for general check up but I was surprise no stool exam. April 2008 3rd doctor checked my rectum.June 2008 I went to emergency bec I can not stand the pain I stayed at the hospital for almost 2 weeks and after so many test I was diagnose with rectal cancer stage 4 coz the tomur spread into my liver and my lymp nodes are swollen. Now I have colostomy surgery, I’m going for chemoteraphy this July. Right now I in pain taking Hyromorphone and pain control patch but the still painful. I can’t lie down and sleep there is mucus coming out of my rectum.

I have decided to detox a little for the next five days , I am taking four senokot tablets (2 at a time ) during the day..Do you think this will help to detox my colon??

Any other suggestions on how to keep my colon nice and scrubbed?

What major celebrities have irritable bowel syndrom (ibs) or Crohn’s Disease? Thanks So Much!

I’m looking to lose around 10 pounds. I have been eating a low calorie healthy diet along with cardio exercise for an hour 5x a week and weight training/ muscle toning with crunches/ squats.
I started taking the colon cleanse 3000 pills yesterday, here are the ingredients on the label:
Fennel seeds, cascara sagrada, ginger goldenseal, pumpkin seed, buckthome root, licorice root, ruhbarb, citrus pectin, acidophilus, acai, cape aloe, bentonite clay, aloe vera, cayenne pepper, senna, oat bran, prune juice, flax seed oil, gelatin, calcium carbonate, magnesium stearate, and silicon dioxide.
I have been having more bowl movements but no diarrhea or other side effects. I am doing as the label says and taking it for 7days and then stopping.
My question is; is this a good colon cleanse based on ingredients? Will I lose weight? Has anyone ever tried the colon cleanse 3000? if so, how was it?

Thanks

2 days ago I had a bowel movement and was shocked to see it was covered in blood.It wasn’t mixed in it was just on the top. When I wiped there was a small amount on the tissue also. Today it happened again but not as much. I do have external hemorrhoids that don’t hurt but they’ve been there for awhile. I wonder if I could have internal hemorrhoids. I have a burning feeling in that area but nothing major. When I had the first bowel movement I had gas and had to go 3 times resulting in the last stool being bloody. I wasn’t constipated so that wasn’t the problem. I have no health insurance and am worried that I need a colonoscopy
Everyones answers have been so comforting to me. Thank you all so much. If you ever post a question I hope that you get comfort from the yahoo answer community also.

Colonic therapy sounds dangerous! Water in a hose will flow back and forth in a hose no matter how you handle the hose.This could very well spread disease.

I just finished finals and wanted to use my month long break from school to be healthy. I want to do a colon cleanse/detox program. Can I get a good one from Walgreen’s while I am there? Thanks so much!

I just had a normal pap, and normal blood work, but my hpv was positive. im 33 year old female, no family history of colon/rectal/anal cancer. I dont drink, smoke or do drugs. I have been a vegetarian for years. I sometimes have this quick sharp pain in my rectum, it only lasts for a second, but sometimes it can go on and off all day, especially when i have my period. does the hpv positive reading mean i may have rectal or anal cancer??

I have to have a colonoscopy in a week. My doctor said to purchase a bowel cleanser from my local drugstore. Can anyone recommend a good colon cleanser that will empty my bowels? What have you taken prior to having a colonoscopy?

I’m not sure if that’s the exact place but it seem like it. It’s right under my rib cage, almost still even under it. It’s like somethings attached to something(to which it shouldn’t be) or dislodged. When it’s happening(which isn’t very often) I can’t stretch my body or take a deep breath. I get this pain sometimes, usually after working at a desk for a couple of hours. it hasn’t happened to me whilst moving(e.i. exercising). Does this just mean that I should take more breaks and move around and stretch or is this a sign of some sort of illness?
