A lady ‘friend’ of mine was chatting with me and asked if I could help her to lose 35 pounds. I said "You’re not going to like the answer." She says, "I can do anything I set my mind to, you know that!" "Okay," I tell her: "You stop eating meat, dairy and animal by-products including butter; no starches, processed sugar and NO fast food. You begin a vegan diet, starting with a total-body cleanse fasting for two days, taking natural liver and colon detox pills and drinking lots of water. Then you eat a macrobiotic diet for two weeks; in the meantime you workout according to a chart I’ll make up for you and I guarantee you’ll lose the 35 pounds and replace it with lean muscle within 8 weeks." That was the last I heard from her and that was 2 weeks ago!
She knows my approach works because my ‘ex’ followed the same training schedule…
Joe, that’s like wiening off smoking a butt at a time. Just do it!
J’Adore, she never bothered to get the info from me, so I doubt it….her loss! Or ‘gain’, I should say! lol

Ok so for quite a long time now I have been having problems going to the bathroom. When I go it hurts really bad and I start to bleed from my butt. But this is only sometimes. I went to the doctor and was tested for ulcers and came out negitive. He told me I had colonitis (spelling). I was put on meds but after a month it didnt work. I figured he was wrong. Plus he really didnt take the time at all didnt even look or anything. I thought it was a fissure. But I’m not sure. I started using baby wipes instead of regular toliet paper cause it made it worse. Now it is getting to the point where if I don’t bleed it burns for hours and then itches. I wanted to see what others thought. And if they had any ideas how to treat it. Thanks

Ok. I used to be constipated as a little kid. I hated it, I used enenemas and nothing would happen. I started eatting alot of junk, and alot more food, and strangely enough I had regular bowel movements, at least daily or every other day. I went on a diet about 5 months ago and have been losing some weight. However I’ve been getting constipated for like the past 3 or 4 months. Like I’d stick my finger up my butt, I could feel the poo, yet there was like some tissue blocking the way or something?

Anyways I took a laxative on Friday and cleaned out my intestines. Tomorow will be the 5th day I haven’t pooped. I ate ALOT on Saturday. What should I do to poop? I drink alot of water and eat a good amount of fiber, as well as exercise.

Thanks!

KENNEWICK, Wash. (AP) – A Tri-Cities health board reversed itself Wednesday and voted against endorsing a colon cancer awareness campaign that uses billboards saying, "What’s up your butt?"
The Tri-City Herald reports the Benton Franklin Health District commissioners responded to complaints the ads are in poor taste.
The butt billboards have been displayed in Yakima to raise colorectal cancer awareness and encourage people to get screened for the disease.

I’m a 42 yr. old female. I am currently experiencing moderate butt pains. Some burning. I have had no changes in diet, no changes in bathroom (constipation or diarrhea), no blood in my stool. The discomfort is somewhat persistant although it doesn’t interfere at all with sleeping.

I have used Prep H with not a lot of relief. I have taken Aleve but that doesn’t seem to work either.

I have no troubles at using the restoom. I have increased my intake of fiber so, of course, I have extra gas.

I thought if it was hemorroids, that Prep H or Aleve would help.

Please, serious answers only. I really want to know.

I heard that by the time the average person reaches 40yrs old they have 7lb of undigested meat in their intestines. Although obese people have more. It was reported Elvis had 42lb, and Marlon Brando had 63lb. My question is when you have a colonoscopy they drink a gallon of Drano, Not really, but it is some kind of cleaning stuff. You sh*t and then kind of pea out your butt, for 3 hours. Then when they do the medical test, they also flush you out. So when you have this done, are we not starting fresh, as clean as a baby, and we start clean? If not why?

My friends 3 year anniversary since his colon polyp surgery and every year I’ve play a joke on him.
Nothing huge bu it’s something I joke about to remind him; he is alright and alive. Butt (ha ha) need some help. Any one have any ideas. For those who don’t know the surgery involves the doctor going thru the butt to check and to remove the issue. Like I said, Its a joking thing and he cracks up everytime; calls me a few choice words but we laugh it off and continue with the friendship.
wrap around the toilet sounds good. Anything else!
A Jelly what?

I know this sounds kinda gross/whatever, but the last couple of weeks I’ve noticed my butthole really itches(off and on). After passing feces this morning I took a shower. In the shower I was cleansing myself and noticed my butthole itched so I tried to wash it with some soap. I felt something coming out of my butt, almost just like a small narrow bubble, it definately felt like something fleshy/something that is supposed to be there…but should probably be internal. I’ve come up with the following reasons for why this is there…and I’m wondering which one/if any of them are right:
1. It is an infection, I should have a doctor see it
2. After a large bowel movement it probably just popped out but should pop back in
3. It’s always been there but I’ve never noticed it

lately ive been getting sharp pains down there.they feel like a pinching feeling.and ive been getting constant menstrual like cramps.and it feels like i have to poop but when i try i cant.and im already 1cm dialated could this mean the baby is dropping or am i dilating more?
and i also have this pain shooting up into my lower back almost by my butt.

I am 37 weeks pregnant and for the past week or two I have been getting terrible pain shooting up my actual butt and into my back (sorry if tmi). I hurts more when I sit or lay down and its starting to hurt worse now that the baby is starting to drop. I know its not sciatica because that shoots down your leg and I have no leg pain, except for swelling in the ankles. I was just wondering if this is due to her laying on a nerve or if it was bad gas pain.

so here it is . . . i need to know how to clean out my colon . . . (feels kinda odd for me to ask , lol ) anyway , i am on a diet and i heard that is a great way to lose weight cause i’m not fat but i figure that might be whare i’m getting my extra weight .

now for the wierd part . . . a colonoscapy (however u spell it) is just a doctor putting a hose up your butt and water flows through it washing out evrything . can you do that at home ? maby with a shower head or something . . .

for the reccord , i am not doing it for fun , i have never done it before (obveously) , and i think it’d rlly help .

btw , are thier any downsides (medically) of you doing something like this? could this mess up your colon or anything like that by doing this? (what is worst case scenario)

all answers appreciated = D

Usually when I have coffee my stomach starts bloating and I get these really sudden tight rectal pains that are really uncomfortable, like right near the tip of my butt into my stomach. Whats going on here?

MY symptoms:
6 mos ago i had ankle surgery. I was off my feet and on my butt for 2 straight mos with no walking. While recovering from the injury, i began to diet. Hardcore diet. I was over 400 pounds. I’ve lost 95 of them in the last 6 mos.
Within a couple weeks of starting the diet and being on my butt…. i had one single episode of fecal incontinance. After this, i began to have constipation, or diareeha, and blood on the toilet paper (possibly from strain)….or possibly from something worse. I also began to have a dull pain at the lower area of my tailbone, which becomes significant when im sitting.
The bleeding went away after about 2 mos, but the pain in the tailbone has not. I still have diareeah sometimes. Mostly after long periods of sitting, which also brings on the tailbone pain.
I went to the doctor a month ago. She thinks that it has to do with complications from my diet / surgery recovery and lack of physical activity. She thinks that the fact that im not even 30 yrs old, dont have a family history of cancer, and the coincidence that im on a huge diet and recovering from surgery ALL PLAY TOO MUCH A ROLE, to really consider colon cancer. But….she ordered me to have a fecal-blood-occult test, anyways.
It came back fine. She thinks im ok. But….why has the tailbone pain continued, and why do i sometimes still have diareeah after periods of painful sitting? Could i have cancer? Im pretty worried. Any thoughts or info ?

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?

I am a 29 year old overweight male. I’ve always had the ability to have a healthy, good sized bathroom break. For about the last week or so, I’ve been eating normally, but I’ve only really had explosive diarrhea, or watery bowel movements with a little bit of soft feces, and a liquid floating on top. The last time I tried to go I ended up passing a small piece of what looked like those sales pictures you see for colon cleanse products. It looked like tripe (cow stomach) you see on the grocery store shelves. I haven’t had the urge to go at all in the past 2 days, but I made myself try to a few minutes ago. After straining almost to the point of passing out, I passed a small, hard grey/green colored clay-like stool.

I’m worried I may be developing, or already have a bowel obstruction, and the diarrhea is squeezing past that. From what I’ve read it could also be IBS (which I am not diagnosed with yet). I am able to pass gas (and a lot of it), but that seems to be all I’m passing lately. Should I worry? To go from one extreme (diarrhea) to the other (severe constipation) doesn’t seem right.

I also have mild stinging pains radiating around my stomach, similar to what I would have before/after having a bout of diarrhea, but nothing seems to want to come out.
I’m freaking out about this and cant even sleep or calm down, so any help would be appreciated. I will call a doctor when they open but until then, I’ll be worrying my butt off.

Lately ibs has been really kickin my butt, i can’t every get a break from it. In school right after i eat lunch i have to sprint to the bathroom. Which is terribly embarassing. Is there anyway i can prevent they symptoms of ibs or atleast help slow it down a bit? Thanks!

Im 16 years old, i did not have this problem until last year, i used to eat alot of hot sauce, my diet is fairly balanced(sometimes fast food or pizza). I occasionally get a fowl smelling odor almost like i havent wiped right and i dont know why, also when i do wipe it takes ALOT of toilet paper and i usually rub myself raw trying to get clean. Sometimes my stool is thinner then normal, and sometimes its really long, like unbelievably long. I have been wearing briefs lately to help prevent the smell if it does occur, one day i woke up and there was a pale yellowish orange kind of stain near my butt on the underwear, and my stool is alot more orange then it should be. and i occasionally get Fowl rotten egg smelling farts. PLEASE HELP ME I DONT KNOW WHATS WRONG I WENT TO THE DOCTORS ONCE FOR IT ALREADY AND ITS REALLY EMBARRASSING AT TIMES AND I NEED HELP.

I have an incredible burning in the butt and it is sooo sore .
Sometimes the pain is after I have gone to the bathroom say a couple hours? PLease if anyone knows of a cure or quick fix, pleaseeee let me know. Also would like to know if vaseline will help it at all or give me some relief?
LouLou

i have been having some lower back pain…minor, and also some minor feelings near the base of my tailbone at the left side of the top of my butt crack…sometimes when i pass gas it sounds different than it usually does. i am expecting a loud sound and a small sound comes out. please help. also, I have never seen any blood in my stool, but sometimes get constipated..but who doesnt?? sometimes reading about this stuff online makes your worrying so much worse

I am 34 weeks, and yesterday I woke up and was having contractions with very painful rectal pressure during them. I had a doctors appointment yesterday and told him and her was going to check me, but found something down there and didn’t want to check me, incase it could cause in infection. So he wrote me a prescribtion for some meds. that I have to take til I deliever. Well I continued to have the rectal pain all day yesterday. When I got home form the doctor, I took two stool softners, to see if that was the problem, well about 9:30 last night I was in the bathroom. I got up this morning and I still have the pain, when it comes on, I can’t still on my butt or if I am standing, I double over in pain and can’t walk. I have tryed to go to the bathroom but nothing comes out (sorry if TMI)

What do ya’ll think is going on…is it just a very bad case of constapation or what? This is my 3rd child but was induced early with those at 35 weeks, and never had this til it was time to push!

Ok, so i’ve been seeing a doc and I’m thinking I need to change docs or maybe go to a male doc instead. I’ve had some minor rectal pain and testicular pain at the same time. My ejaculations seem a little less than normal these past few months. After ejaculation i feel almost like a sharp pain or ache between my legs. I’ve had blood and urine tests come back normal. Been poked up the butt 3 times and told i’m normal. Testicular ultrasound normal. The doc said she could prescribe antibiotics even though I seem normal but suggested maybe I see a therapist!?!?!?!?! i’m offended. i know its not psychological. I can feel it! but she said we can’t find anything. time to get a second opinion from a male doc maybe?

I went to the hospital yesterday because I was pooping out large amounts of blood. The guy there checked me out and said it was most likely an internal hemorrhoid. He assigned me to make an appointment with a specialist. He also prescribed me with some stool softener. I took the stool softener about 11 hours ago.

OK…Now I’m trying to poop. I’m still pooping out alot of blood and it feels like there’s a knife stabbing me in the right side of my butt. I really try to poop but the pain is horrible. It’s hurt for over a year, but now it’s worse.

Yesterday, when the guy checked me, he said that he couldn’t see anything that was in the beginning parts of the hole and wants the specialist to look further in..

Should I go back to the hospital?
It’s killing me.

I probably wont have the appointment with the specialist for another week. I dont know if I can hold it that long.

Thanks
@Foodie : It was a stool softener in powder form that I had to mix into water.

Me and my brother were shooting .22 rifles and my dog ran behind the targets and got shot through the ass. It went clean through the side of her butt, it stopped bleeding and she is acting fine, she is even running around, and jumped into the back of my truck fine. We put neosporin on the entrance and exit wound. The vet’s office i closed on the weekend, so how do i tell if i didn’t hit her intestines or colon?
