I’m 23 year old young man who just got his yearly check up 2 weeks ago, and was told i was really healthy. A week later I started getting bad abdominal pain, this made me worry when it didn’t subside after bowel movements. I lost 11 pounds in 5 days. I had no blood in my urine, and my blood test come back showing normal levels in white blood cells, and nothing wrong with my liver or kidneys. The doctor treated me for a parasite. Over the past couple days i have gained 2 pounds and my stool has had little black specks in it (almost pepper like) I have read this happens when the parasites are being cleansed from the body. Should the weight come back slowly like a 1/10 of pound here and there or should i re-gain the pounds in a couple days?

Well,

Ive had problems with wax in my ears and ear fluid for years now. However last week or so its been bad,must be allergies heating up,and i can tell my hearing is not so keen. I also believe i have lots of wax build up. Yesterday i was reading up about using peroxide and water in bowel with syringe to put in ear and lie down and then drain and so forth,so i did that for both ears. Seemed to help a little bit,but i still think i need to cleanse out the wax chunks somehow,but dont know how.

I also need to know a good method to get rid of ear fluid for sinuses. any good congestants? ive about tried them all…thanks

OK Ive been on a sort of cleanse program for 4 days now. Eating mostly fruits and veggies some whole wheat bread every now and then and tart cherry juice. And I have the runs pretty bad. Is my body cleaning itself out? before I started this I ate a lot of crap kind of. Is this normal and how long will it last?
I don’t know how to comment on my own post so I will use this lol.

Pink floy, I wouldn’t say I’m really on a diet, Just trying to eat better. This can’t be a bad thing considering I ate total crap and complete processed foods before can it? I think not.

I have been feeling very sluggish lately and have bowel movements once every two days. One of my friends suggested to cleanse my bowels but I am unsure how. How do I cleanse it naturally and keep healthy?

Water spiked with fresh organic limes and lemons:

1.) It is an antiseptic, or is an agent that prevents sepsis [the presence of pathogenic bacteria] or putrefaction [decomposition of tissue]

2.) It is also anti-scorbutic, a term meaning a remedy which will prevent disease and assist in cleansing the system of impurities

3.) symptoms of indigestion such as heartburn, bloating and belching are relieved

4.) By drinking lemon juice regularly, the bowels are aided in eliminating waste more efficiently thus controlling constipation and diarrhea

5.) a wonderful stimulant to the liver and is a dissolvent of uric acid and other poisons, liquefies the bile

6.) Sufferers of chronic rheumatism and gout will benefit by taking lemon juice, also those who have a tendency to bleed, uterine hemorrhages, etc.; rickets and tuberculosis

7.) In pregnancy, it will help to build bone in the child

8.) potassium content, it will nourish the brain and nerve cells

9.) magnesium, in conjunction with calcium, has an important part to play in the formation of albumen in the blood
a.) lemon contains potassium 48.3, calcium 29.9, phosphorus 11.1, magnesium 4.4. Lemons are useful in treating asthma, biliousness, colds, coughs, sore throat, diphtheria, la grippe [flu or influenza], heartburn, liver complaint[s], scurvy, fevers and rheumatism

10.) calcium builds up the bony structure and makes healthy teeth.

There’s more information regarding adding organic lemon or lime to water… Check the above mentioned link and page down to "Amazing Health Benefits".

Could this be a way to reduce chlorine in our public water supply, and provide health benefits at the same time?

Everyone out there reading this, bear with me…I am beside myself on this & have many, many years of experience w/felines but this one is for the ages and & need some input from those of you out there who may have something productive to share. (Please, no idiot responses b/c this is serious = thanks). …I’ll try to make this brief…Last Sept. a stray female feline wondered up to property. She was very, very thin, young (prob 1 yr. old now) and had swollen teats. I knew she had kittens somewhere. I fed the poor starving animal b/c she was eating out of my trash can! Yep, feed a stray, they stay. Kept her as outdoor kitty. Have 3 car garage, heated in winter & doggy-door that cat was trained to use. Have food/water bowls & bed. Cat is a good, sweet, loving thing & a good mouser. She got pregnant again ( ) & gave birth to 5 beautiful, healthy kittens. Gave all kittens away @ 8 wk. mark. Made plans for spaying. Financial times b tough so found one who’d do on the cheap. (it included all shots = we were thrilled @ the quote!) Had to wait 3 wks. after last nursing of kittens & @ that 3 wk. mark, "Riley" went in to be spayed. Now, we were warned about this vet being known as a "butcher" and that a lot of folk around these parts usually has ended up w/dead pets after he gets hold of them. I was worried & concerned but again, times b tough; had to risk it. Riley went in on 5/23. Picked her up 5/24. Yep, she was "butched" & butched BIG time. I set about spoiling her & kept her confined for 3 days. On 5/31 @ 2:15pm, I found my little Riley-girl laying out in my driveway w/her guts lying outside of her body cavity. She was still alive! I ran to her, scooped her up w/guts in other hand. Put her in her carrier cage, sped off vet – HAD to use same one – what other choice did I have? (He ended up duping us & charged 5 for the spaying/shot deal – who’s da sucker now folks?!) I have been traumatized, hysterical, depressed, worried & guilt to the 10th degree over all of this folks. ….still cannot get the image of poor little Riley out in driveway w/guts hanging out & believe me when I tell you that I am a "tough bird" when it comes to things…(No wuss is Miss Joy!) Vet nvr. sanitized hands or table, nvr. cleansed her innards. (I know b/c I stayed & witnessed it all). Shoved ‘em back in & stitched. Filled her w/antibiotics, kept her for 2 days then sent her home w/me having to do wound care for 10 days & an antibiotic pill x2 a day. Vet said only 1 in 100 survive this sort of thing. Cat got constipated b/c of meds. Had to take her off for 2 days to soften bowels. Wound came open AGAIN 2 days ago. Rushed her back, this time he DID re-open her, cleansed everything, put her back together & I brought her home ystrday afternoon. She was full of infection & wound came open b/c she is so eaten up w/infection that her skin had begun to rot. It is amazing to me that this poor, innocent, sweet & loving animal has survived all of this (Me too!) and she’ll drink fresh water, eats very, very, VERY little. Actually wretches @ smell of canned cat food. Will lick juices of pork fat ( to help w/bowels?) chicken noodle soup juices and kitten formula. Blessed little thing will even use litter box I’ve set up for her while she’s on "lock-down". Vet sent me home this last time w/a spray for wound care called "Vetericyn" that cost us for 4 oz. We gladly pd. him for it as the sucker did not charge us for the last two "episodes" (which he shouldn’t have = bung hole) …sorry… I have to spray her wound x4 a day & back on antibiotic pill x2 a day. I seriously need to bathe her as the infection "juices" that had been dripping & dripping out of her is all over her lower abdomen, legs, etc. I need to wait @ least 3 days to allow the fresh wound (surgical site) to seal before I make that attempt. What I need from anyone of you out there reading this is this: What can I do to help poor little Riley to eat & keep up her strength & health? Please, I am desperate. I care deeply about this animal and she did not deserve this happy-crappy & all that she’s now gone through & I’m betting this kitty has used 5 of her 9 lives on all of this by now. (?!) (sigh & sniff) I feel so guilty & responsible and if she’s still living after all of this, well then; Miss Joy ain’t throwing in the towel either! Please, please, please – I am begging for ideas to get Miss Kitty to eat. Thanks for reading this folks. I have a good little cry each & everyday now for this animal…
P.S. Her guts came out b/c she had "vicerated" (sp? who cares now = whatever, you get it either way) meaning that her bowels, etc. pushed through the wound site. Vet said he’d never seen a vicertion that bad. Not only her intestines but EVERYTHING was hanging outside of her. (except heart) I went through the garage ystrday. w/bleach & cleaned the heck out of the whole thing before we picked her up. NOTE: Miss Joy is a very clean person to begin with – F.Y.I. I wash her bedding everyday/night to try to help w/infection & keep my hands & her food/water bowls washed daily.
P.S.S. I know what you’re thinking: Shoot or sue the Vet BUT, I am stuck w/this one now. We absolutely CANNOT afford to go to another vet. Remember: Times b tough financially. I have no choice w/that regard folks and for that, I will/still beat myself up on too… whaaaaaaaaa (sniff) …payment plan or not, it just is not feasible = sorry.
P.S.P.S. (and I’m done w/this "question) I did indeed ask the vet if we should just do the humane thing & put her down b/c I do not wish to see this cat suffer needlessly. Vet said she was worth saving and so far, so good. (?!) Folks, I do have a heart – okay?!
Vicerated b/c of bad stitch job to begin with – F.Y.i.

1.) Instead of having to pay to get multiple colonics, in most places can i just get one Giant All/ Completely cleansing colonic?

2.) Do i have to get completely naked for the procedure…or just expose my backside?

3.) Do I tip the Person who performs the procedure?

4.) Can i drink alcohol a day after the procedure or is that a bad thing to do?

5.) Should i fast and move my bowels prior to the colonic…how many hrs. before the procedure do you recommend?

I weigh 130 and am 20 I may not be over weight but I’ve had bad eating habits sometimes I don’t eat till 4pm and then i stuff myself I don’t eat much fruits or grains I’ve been drinking water daily Its hard to drink the recommend a amount of glasses and alot of it makes me bloated sometimes I’ll eat in the middle lf the night I try and diet sometimes but they don’t last very long anyways I’m usually home laying on the couch or in bed which prolly doesnt help. Anyway I’ve gotten acid reflux I’m constantly bloated I get a bad taste my bowel movement is irregular sometimes I’m constipated and sometimes I smell I feel like Becouse my digestive system is slow that some lf it goes out through my pores? I want a strict diet that will clean out my digestive system any info is appreciated

I haven’t had a regular bowel movement in about a week & I can feel it. I feel so bloated. What are some ways to clean myself out? I’d like to stay away from laxatives… What about drinking nothing but prune juice & water today? & no foods
I’d also like to add that I work out a lot, drink about 100 oz water a day, no soda, & get plenty of fiber so idk what’s causing it

So for the past four days, I’ve been peeing like crazy and having to ‘go to the bathroom’ (# 2) maybe 2 or 3 times a day, and they’re large amounts of hard bowels that take a while to come out. But a few weeks before I started having to go to the bathroom/pee right after eating, which I haven’t done since I was little (usually it takes a few hours for me to go)…?

What’s going on?!
*Mature answers, please.

Thanks for helping!

i am 18. i’ve been on a diet over the past 3 weeks. you know, healthy eating, lots of whole grain in my diet, veggies and fruits as well. i lost a few pounds for the first 2 weeks of my diet and with regular bowel movement. however, these days, i have been eating well and yet i’m not losing weight anymore. i also noticed that i defacate every 2 days and that i’m suffering from constipation. the past 3 1/2 days have been exceptionally tough as i haven’t taken a sh*t for the past 3 1/2 days.

this sucks. any health tips for me that are safe. again, i’m only 18.

i’m a confused teen. what would you recommend??
i think i’ve had included lots of fibrous foods in my diet on a regular basis which include apple, wheat bread, whole grain cereals, veggies like spinach and cabbage… it’s so frustating! or is it not enough?

Also how can I have a larger bowel movement? I am taking psyllium husk capsules and they seem to work..anything else I can take? I am also doing a 30 day cleanse. I would like to lose 10-15 lbs any tips help…PLEASE WRITE AS MUCH INFO AS POSSIBLE.. thanks !!

Hey, I am in my mid 20′s, 6ft. 1in., 165 lbs. I’m slim as you can tell. I’ve tried excercising in attempts to look better, and have usually given up on it after a few weeks. Several weeks ago I half heartedly started lifting about 5lbs and I forgot how often. Here recently I went up to 15 lbs. try to do an average of 200 lifts a day. Is that safe, is it worth while? I eat pretty much what ever I want to and I don’t get fat, could that be a clue that I might not show muscle improvement very fast either? Just a thought. I take about 500mg of vit C and also a multi vit daily. (also have been on FloNase & Allegra). I’ve sensitive skin and sometimes limit my sweets hoping it will help an acne problem i’ve had on my back for a while, but lately I’ve been getting some sun and have been using some cleansing wipes and seems to improve. If my medical rambling hasn’t ran you off yet, I also tend to have loose bowel movements and maybe a bit worse since lifting weights. So any tips??

I’m trying to do a cleanse, so I’ve been trying to empty myself out, But I’m having trouble.
I ate 3 bowls of all bran cereal and fiber plus (Without milk) And 4 mini apples, I’ve drunken tons of cleansing tea, as well as water. I did this all 4 hours ago, and I’m still not having any bowel movements or anything.
How long will it take before I have to go?

i am planning on doing the master cleanse diet. I understand the whole lemon diet process but what i dont understand are the bowel movements. when are you suppose to take a suppository and when are you suppose to do the salt water flush. or do you do both? any help would be appreciated.

Because according to my bible. All Paul did was quote scriptures from different part of the bible and said a lot of things and just gave Jesus the credit. Paul never claims that Jesus taught him.

Last week I was in my car trying to rush home so I could take a piss. I had to go real bad. When I was done, I looked up to the sky and say, Thank you Lord for allowing me to get home in time to take this piss. Do you think Jesus will allow me to add it to the bible since I did give him credit for it?

Gino 1:1 and as I was taken a number one, the Lord came upon me and cleanse me of my situation. No longer will I have to rush to take a piss because the Lord will give me the strength to hold it. Lord thank you for not allowing me to piss my pants, and for those who do not have the will to hold their piss, pray and God will bless you for he will never leave you nor forsake you, especially during bowels problems.

So tell me, how is my true story any different from Paul’s letters? Since there is no evidence proven that Paul was taught by Jesus.

Hey, I’m backed-up like Woodstock traffic and it pains me to use the dookie bowl. I need a soothing jam that will allow for clean fecating. Suggestions?

BQ: It pains me to say that my browns are going to the super bowl next year. Response?
BQ2: Milk Duds or Cocoa Puffs?

Depo can stay in your system up to 18mos to help get it out this website suggested these steps

1 Drink LOTS of water: We all know there many health benefits of drinking water. Besides clear skin and weight loss, drinking at least 64 ounces per day can help rid the body of toxins and expel waste stored in the bodies tissue and prevent disease. Adding fresh squeezed lemon to water can help flush toxins out of the body because lemons are a natural diuretic.

Step 2Exercise: At least 30 minutes of cardiovascular activity a day helps increase the blood flow to the organs, muscles and tissues. Exercise helps endorphin levels rise and remove toxins from the body. Sweating also helps remove waste and toxins. Daily walks outside in the fresh air also help the detoxification process.

Step 3 Eat 6-11 (or more!) servings of fruit and vegetables a day: High in fiber to help move your bowels and loaded with anti-oxidants to help your body defend itself from any damaging toxins that enter it. Make sure you wash your produce well or chose organic if possible.

Step 4 Try Acupuncture: A form of Traditional Chinese Medicine that helps rid the body of drug toxins by balancing the body and the mind.

Step 5 Try a colon cleanse: A form of alternative medicine that removes feces and toxins from the colon and intestinal tract. Colon cleansers are composed of a combination of fiber, herbs, supplements and laxatives and can be purchased at your local health food store. Use as directed.

Step 6 Drink detox tea: A combination of herbs used to rid the body of toxins by supporting liver and kidney function. Detox teas are organic and caffeine free and can be found in your local supermarket or health food store.

Step 7Take a detox bath: Soak in a warm bath for 30 minutes with 1 cup of baking soda and 1 cup of Epsom salt. This helps the body eliminate toxins through the skin. After the bath you will feel refreshed and your skin will be soft and smooth. Rinse off with a cool shower.

Step8Relax in a sauna: Heavy metals and toxins are expelled through the the skin as we sweat. Sitting in a sauna for 10 minutes helps open the pours and detoxifies the body. Consult your health care professional before trying a sauna detox.

Step 9Take Probiotics: Also known as "good bacteria" that are necessary for digestive system health. Probiotics have been said to strengthen the immune system, allowing the body to fight off allergies, exposure to toxins and other diseases. Probiotics can be taken in supplement form, yogurt or shakes.
it’s usually people on the shot not the pill the shot causes the problems cause it leaves stuff behind and does not clear your system

I am going to get my first colonoscopy tomorrow (technically today). I have to be there at 7am. My procedure is at 8 am. I feel as if I didn’t go to the bathroom as much as I should have. I followed the exact instructions as they were given. So I guess my question is how do i know if my colon is cleansed enough for it. I am very nervous about the whole ordeal as it is. I am pooping semi solid turds and tons of liquidy green and it is 2 in the morning! I started drinking the stuff at 930 i took my laxative pills at 4pm like they told me and never had a bowel movement so i waited the 5 hours and started drinking. Any advice?? would help greatly.

okay, i want to lose weight and i would also like to get rid of all that nasty waste in my bowels..i am going to do regular exercise and watch my calorie intake, but once every week, i would like to do an all "fruits and veggie day" i would just eat all the fruits and veggies i want, and then the next 6 days i would go back to my "low calorie" diet until the next "all fruit and veggie day"..is this okay for me to do and will it help me lose some weight? side eefects?..thanks so much! i am 14 by the way, but i aint taking no diet pills or nothing..i just wanna cleanse my body every so often..also, how much could i lose in one day from all the veggies and fruit?

Ever since the 6th grade (im now in my mid 20′s) Ive been getting such a severe nervous stomach making me have to go home from school constantly and having to miss out on many social events. Ive also suffered from anxiety for most of my life due to this nervous stomach. I can’t even now do anything(job interviews, social outings,school,etc..) without feeling so sick to my stomach FEELING like im going to have a bowel movement (often times i actually do, sorry this is kinda gross)…It makes me so self concious that I came to the point where i dont even want to go anywhere anymore in the event im going to feel like this, it has severely damaged my professional and social life. It also gets really bad when i ride in cars for some reason. I know its normal to feel nervous at job interviews but its just not normal to feel the way i do,its almost so bad that i just dont go to them. Does anyone know what I could do to sure this? any doctor opinions? people that have the same symptoms?…Ive already tried changes in diets and anxiety medication which didnt seem to work at all (zoloft),massage,reflexology,fiber supliments, and various vitamins and colon cleanses. Im out of ideas.

When I was younger I use to hold in my bowel movements. I’m in my 30s now and I can’t seem to get things going again. I have tried almost everything, Health Force cleanses, herbal laxative, eating healthy, probiotics, magnesium, enemas, you name it. Recently I have been mixing homemade yogurt with a T. Psyllium for the last three weeks. I have been getting some movement but I have so much gas I think I’m going to explode! It has gotten to the point where nothing really responds and it seems I have no control over pushing anything out like the colon is numb inside. Also, because of all of this I am experiencing the gas not coming from rectum it comes directly out of pours. 15-20 minutes after I feel gas in my lower left abdomen I can smell a STRONG odor of eggs coming from me for days at a time. When I was somewhat gassy or constipated when I was younger I never had gas come out of my pours like this. Any explanation for this? I had blood tests done recently and everything looked ok except for high carnitine levels and raised cholesterol. I have had a colonoscopy and endoscopy done as well. I am not sure if it is related but I also have severe gout symptoms in my feet and ankles on a weekly basis. The Dr. said to take IB Profen and no high purine foods which I don’t consume. I also get acne/boils that sometimes smell like rotten eggs all over my back and chest. Does anybody have any ideas? I haven’t got much help by going to the doctor. Thanks!
I quit drinking a couple years ago and I definitely know alcohol doesn’t help the problem. lol
I gotta say though, I think I had better bowel movements even when I was drinking.
Yogurt and high fiber seems to be giving me some relief. I don’t recall mentioning my "cure" with using yogurt and fiber. More of a process of conditioning my digestive track. I’m thinking dysbiosis and possible yeast overgrowth causing the problem. That might explain the acne/boils on chest. (yeast?) I think the gas is from introducing fiber to my diet and possibly the bacteria going to work. I have been to a GI dr. and since tests came back negative for major problems he said just keep yourself regular with Myralax, which didn’t work at all. Not much help. I guess what I’m asking is if anyone has had similar symptoms and have had success with treating it. Like I said it seems that my system is not responding to most laxatives. A couple weeks ago I tried Epsom salt and it didn’t respond at all. When I use to use it a year ago it created diarrhea. It almost seems impossible to create diarrhea if I had to. My goal for now is just to get my system going.

On Wednesday the 8th I used the bathroom and had a loose stool, upon wiping I had quite a bit of blood on the tissue paper. I was able to go once more the next morning, again with loose stool and blood. Now I can’t pass my bowels whatsoever. I have gone to a gastronomy center and now I have a colonoscopy in 3 days. I’ve had x-rays ruling out obstruction but they see a lot of stool that needs out. Only problem is I cannot pass any stool which I’m told I need to do so for a good exam. I have been on Miralax for 4 days with no luck, tried a small enema with no luck and have been on a liquid diet as well. What do I do? I am going to be starting my prep (magnesium citrate) as well as surprep on monday. I am hoping these work but if not what do I do? Will they perform something to cleanse me? HELP?
I also want to mention that I have had very slight BM maybe once a day but I know I still have a lot of stool in me. I still get hungry and pass gas…Thanks for the replys/answers. I never wanted to take a crap so bad in my life!!!

I just started a raw food diet on monday, as more of a cleanse and weight loss starter than anything and I have spina bifida, complete with all the bowel incontinence issues. I’ve been noticing a change in that respect, not necessarily for the better. I’ve been feeling fantastic physically, but I’m wondering if this isn’t a good idea, given my physical condition. I was planning on only doing this for 2 weeks, and then slowly adding back some cooked, healthy things in moderation and within reason.

Any suggestions? I’m typically a meat eater, which is what got me into this weight problem in the first place. I’m a trained chef so I see this becoming a drag after the high wears off. HELP!
