Some people say it’s regular constipation, some say it’s regular diarrhea, some say its constipation that comes and goes, some say it’s diarrhea that comes and goes, some say it alternates between the two, some say its BOTH at the same time.. like bowel movements that start hard and then get softer and then get runny toward the end…
I’m really confused.. what ARE the symptoms of IBS?

Seems there are way too many scams everywhere. I’m trying to find a good and honest product for cleansing/detoxifying. I saw one by a Dr. Natura which seems silly. They had a bunch of pictures of disgusting things that supposedly will come out with your bowel movements. Not sure if those are really things that are built up inside your body or if the pills you take are creating these things. Then there is a product by isagenix which seems really good, but it is so expensive. Can someone please advice me on a product that actually works and is not too expensive.

lately my bowel movements have been very small. i eat a lot of (but properly portioned) food. when i eat a large meal i still have a small bowel movement. this does not add up. i have been exercising a lot lately, could that be why? thanks in advance.

I began a raw food body detoxification (colon cleanse) on May 31st, and I haven’t been able to eliminate much waste/mucoid plaque specifically, since I began. I’ve been drinking the Psyllium & Bentonite shakes once a day before bed, and increased it to twice a day yesterday morning to see quicker results. Any tips of raw foods I could eat to increase bowel movements, exercises, other advice, etc? Thanks.

I don’t want to have to be checked for worms or parasites by the doctor because then my parents would have to know about the appointment because I do not have a driver’s license and they would have to drive me. I know they’ll find out, but I don’t want my parents to know immediately. Will increasing my fiber intake and making more frequent bowel movements cleanse me free from parasites? Also, how are intestinal worms or parasites so harmful? Are they really that bad?
I don’t want my parents to know because I’m embarrassed and I want to handle it on my own, not because they’ll get mad. I don’t want to have to have a doctor look at my asshole, I can’t even look at it myself.

just drinking water or fasting or anything. How can I do a complete body/colon cleanse without stopping eating? Higher intake of vegetables and less meat I’d guess but how do you keep your body regular clean and smelling fresh from the inside out for good? Are there supplements to help as well? What removes toxins the best? What about bowel movements? How do you make them regular and not horrible? I wanna try detoxing but I need to eat and go to school and work two jobs.

I have been put on a different medication which side effect is mainly chronic constipation. I have tried almost all of the over the counter popular ones, Phillips, Correctol, and others but I really need something to do the job of good cleansing. I have stopped taking the medication but still I am not normal with my bowel movements. Greatly appreciate any recommendation

My bowel movements are quite regular but I have read that undigested food can get stuck in ur intestine (stuff that is not eliminated in regualar bowel movement).
What foods or teas can I consume to get all this junk out??
Thnx
yeah i do eat all that but smth more firbous. Those are just regular foods that I eat everyday and I didn need to goto nursing skool to realize that.

Over the past 4 months, I’ve had a range of different bowel movements. Some have been fat and roundish; others have been thin and flat. Would I be seeing that range if you had colon cancer.

I am now 26 years old and ever since middle school my bowel movements has been once or twice a week and sometimes once every two weeks. I think this is causing me to not be able to lose weight, Im always tired and have no energy. I am also always in a bad mood and don’t know why. I am wondering if my digestive system has something to do with that. If anyone has done this cleanse, does it really work? Any tips? Any side effects? Thanks

i need to clean obviously i have irregular bowel movements and i needt to do this but i cant take pain and i dotn feel like spending a fortune on something that is going to make me go every 20 minutes so no carmping and doesnt cost much something id prefer to drink that doesnt taste horrible that i puke so any suggestions would be great, i want to be able to go one or two times in one day to get everything out so something effective what if i eat alot of garlic and drink alot of apple juice garlic kills parisites so i think that is important. any one have any ideas or recipes?? seriously people if ur a 10 to 18 year old dont answer this questions cuz u have no idea, a doctor would be helpful.

Hopefully it’s just my Ocd and gad doing this to me.

I have been to a doctor before on this, but he just didn’t pay much attention to this fear.

After having a right hemicolectomy, due to necrotizing enteritis, how long will it normally take for the patient’s bowel movements to return to a normal consistency, and are there dietary considerations that need to be addressed? This particular patient had 60 CM of Ascending Colon and 7 CM of Cecum and the Ileocecal valve removed, and the bowel reconnected. The patient was experiencing severe diarrhea and vomiting, Abdominal CT showed eschemic bowel and gas bubbles in the colon wall, and resection performed. Pathology showed necrotizing enteritis, but the pathogen remains unidentified. Patient was negative for C. Diff on multiple stool samples. Patient continues to have diarrhea 5 weeks post-surgery.

I’ve been having very unsatsfying bowel movements for some time. Gas, lower abdom uncomfortabilitys and other such issues. Now I’m wondering I do, take Acidophilus and probotics and such tablets I was wondering what else I could do to promote digestive and colon health to produce the best bowel movements my body can produce. I just don’t wanna have digestive issues anymore and stuff. Please help
