I want to cleanse my bowels, and stop this constipation naturally, without the use of laxatives,

cany body help

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?

Okay so I want my intestines cleaned out! I had a bad case of food poisining, and have had constipation in the past…but there’s so much out there…I can’t tell the difference between these cleanses?

so I heard about the salt flush…but do you basically just drink salt water and eat normally?

any advice would be great thanks!

I feel that I suffer from Irritable bowel syndrome that leads to continuous constipation, the doctors said that there is no cure for me and this illness will stay with me forever. Can anyone tell me plz if there is something to decrease the illness symptoms?
Thanks in advance

So what can cause sever pain in the rectal region without having any bowel issues or cramps. I have had cramps, constipation, and I know what the urge to go feels like. This was something different. It has happened twice in the past two weeks. Both times the pain lasted a half an hour and both times was in the morning. I woke up from the pain. Also, it has happened in the past but during the middle of the night. I just woke up in horrible uncomfortable pain. AND NO I"M NOT GAY!! SAVE YOUR IDIOTIC COMMENTS FOR SOMEONE ELSE!!!

By the way I eat fairly healthy and use the bathroom regularly with little issues.

I am getting ready to start the Renew Cleanse Smart 30 day program. In order to prepare myself, I’ve been doing some preliminary things for the past 2 weeks to help my mind and body for a smoother start (Epsom salt baths, dry skin brushing, Castor oil packs, yoga, extra fiber, etc). During the past 2 weeks, I’ve noticed that my weight has consistantly gone down a little bit. However, today I weighed myself and I’ve gained 3 pounds in 3 days. What could be the cause of this? I’m eating healthy and have not been consuming extra calories this week. I’m having regular bowel movements so I don’t think it’s constipation that is causing the extra weight. This is my first cleanse though so I don’t know if this is normal to lose and gain along the way.

What exactly is "colon-cleansing"? And how do I know if I need it? I am 17 years old male who is experiencing constant constipation by the way.

I need a colon cleaner, but don’t know what is the best product. I am 48 years old and have been having constipation for the past 1 year now. Yes I have been to see a doctor. She told me I should add more fiber to my diet. I added more fiber but sometime it works and sometime it don’t. So I think I need a colon clean out. What do you think. And what is the best product to use.

I have recently been diagnosed with IBS. My doctor thinks this is why I get nauseated easily, especially when I’m under stress. But someone (a nurse) told me she had IBS for 40 years, and never experienced nausea with it. On IBS websites, it only mentions diarrhea and constipation, and pain, not nausea. What is the truth?

I took a laxative about 2 months ago to clear up my first case of constipation since I was a kid (I’m coming up on 30). Ever since then I’ve felt like there is something lodged in my descending colon. I went to see the doctor about it out of fear that I had colorectal cancer. They performed a colonoscopy and nothing showed up, no polyps or even hemrroids. I don’t have diahrrea or excessive gas, so it isn’t IBS. The doctor seems to think that it’s my diet. But I eat healthy and have never had this problem before. Now I have a constant feeling of pressure/discomfort in my descending colon and never goes away. Any help would be GREATLY appreciated. Thanks ahead of time.
This is a serious question. Those of you who bring up gay sex and hamsters will be promptly reported.

I have been having gas pains in my tummy and constipation, for several years. Recently, it has become worse, and I am considering colonics. How does the procedure work? Is it painful?

This problem has become so bad that I absolutely minimize eating solids. All I really do is drink milk. None the less, the every third day, I get <constipated> and the pain it causes is immense. I can barely move my legs until I am able to remove the constipation (I’ll be as kind to spare You these details). ANYWAY, one Doctor hypothesized it’s the build up of you-know-what, possibly somewhere in by ascending or transverse colon, that goes and pushes up against something, that pushes another thing, which ultimately pushes into my sciatic nerve. The sciatic, incidentally, is one of the biggest nerves You got and if You saw it in a dissection, it’s quite thick and visible. Thus, a very important and vulnerable nerve.

I’d like to hear back from anyone who has experienced a similar problem with constipation leading to such severe pain (sciatica) that it stops You from walking or standing up for that matter.

I hate pain pills, but I can’t seem to escape them for my osteoarthritis problems I must live with.

Thank You Sincerely for Your answer, if You care to venture sharing Your experience. Sincerely, <Kraken>

i have really really bad bowel movement..about 2 times a week, but i’m not straining…my stool is pretty pasty..not rock hard..but for some reason i feel like my rectal has tiny tears and it kinda hurts and burns a little…at times i find blood on my stools too…i know it sound serious but the way i feel i think it’s from my constipation and it’s more on the external of my rectal rather than internal…i want to go and check this out…who should i go see? i’m a female should i go see my gynocologist? do gynos check these kind of things out?

I was diagnosed with a UTI after complaining of sharp pelvic/abdominal pain. I also described a throbbing/stabbing sort of pain in my rectum that gets worse when sitting and walking. The dr suggested it might just be because of the UTI but I have doubts. I can’t find anything that supports this and it is really killing me! I had some constipation and difficulty going to the bathroom for the past few days but I have gone. It is rather hard, though, but I am not stopped up. Why is it throbbing? Can I get some relief????

I am having the urgency to have a bowel movement but all that comes out is blood, about a teaspoon or two. Has been happening for two days now.
I am having some constipation. I have never had **** sex. And I have not been to any foreign countries. Its pretty painful in my abdomen right now.

occurance alternating from constipation to diarrea.My friend is having some terrible trouble and no medical coverage so need something to help.Any ideas??

I have been having a lot of problems with recurring constipation and have wanted to try a colon cleanse to get rid of the compacted stools. I just have a feeling that there are stools that are stuck in my bowels. My diet isn’t terrible but isn’t good either. Can you give an natural recommendations or commercially available colon cleanses that would loosen the compacted stools? I have seen a bunch of websites that try to see these. Which is good for this?

Is there a way to cleanse or at least have MUCH better bowel movements without the use of doctors, special pills and wierd teas?

I mean like any normal foods/drinks or even positions….I ask this because lately I have been having sluggish bowels and constipation, but don’t want to use any medicine/pills/clinical procedures and just stick to a natural way.
No Scanner I didn’t know…what’s wrong with using straight water with an enema

I’ve suffered with bloating,gas,constipation,diarhea, the feeling that I have to go BM again, even when I’ve just gone,and mucous in my poop. I hate going into public anymore because I need to make a few trips to the bathroom, most of the time I feel like I have to go, but then nothing. It’s embarrasing because my boyfriend picks on me. He alsmost hates going in public with me as much as I do. So my question is,,,would a good bowel cleansing help with the symptoms and what do I use. Is it safe to cleanse your bowels?

besides occult (invisible) blood, i have heard of colon cancer and polyps causing bleeding, besides the other symptoms like diahrea and constipation and very thin stools like pencils…..i have also had a family member who had a polyp and bled ALOT in the toilet….supposeldy this is also the case with cancer but i was just wondering if most cases with this type of cancer bleed in that fashion, besides the tarry black sludge like stools that are also common….i was just wondering

My son, 2 years old, has been complaining, for about two weeks now, of rectal pain. When asked what it hurts like he says, "it itches like I have to go poopy." It bothers him at all times of the day, but not all day long necessarily.

About a week ago I thought I noticed some blood on his stool, but wasn’t positive, so decided to keep watching. On Saturday, he definitely had blood on his stools and it was on the toilet paper when we wiped as well. I took him to urgent care and the doctor looked at his anus and felt inside. He didn’t feel anything or have any bleeding at the time. He decided to treat him for a yeast infection of the anus. Currently we are applying a mix of anti-itch hydrocortizone cream and Lotrimin (Athlete’s foot cream) three times a day for 5 days.

As of this morning, my son was still having pain and itching. He had a BM last night with no improvement from the day before and complained of pain while passing it. He has also, a few times, grabbed his abdomen and said,
"my body hurts." This has happened just randomly and while urinating. He has never had problems with constipation or abnormally large or hard stools. He has had a few unexplained, long lasting bouts of diarrhea in the past.

Any ideas?? We are supposed to make an appointment to go back if he is not feeling better by Wednesday. I am having a hard time with this diagnosis for some reason…
His stools are a normal texture/color. (not hard, black, tarry…) The blood is typically on the stool at the end of the movement. It is not drops of blood in the toilet, but on the stool. There also has been blood on the paper when we wipe that is bright red in color.
We are going to the doctor this afternoon after another bloody stool this morning. Thanks for all the good answers.

I believe after research online that I have IBS. The symptoms started out as going back and forth with very soft to hard stools. Also extreme rectal burning pain that comes and goes. It is so bad sometimes I had started taking motrin, tylenol or Excedrin. I also noticed I have a small bump the size of a bebe on my rectum. Sometimes it feels like I have a cut down there and if urine hits it I want to scream it burns so bad. Lately I have been constipated and not going regularly. I have tried Preparation H but it doesn’t work at all. I don’t think I have hemorrhoids since it isn’t swollen…just the bebe size bump and feeling like a cut sometimes. Up until recently, I have never had issues with constipation and went regularly 3-4 times a day. when I wear nylons since they tighten everything up, I notice I have more problems with the pain. It isn’t non stop, but when it’s really bad I take the over the counter pain medicine that helps relieve it. I don’t have medical insurance so I can’t go to the dr. I think this pretty much covers most of it. This is obviously very embarrassing to talk about, but it is very painful sometimes and I don’t know what to do about it. Any help anyone can provide me would be so much appreciated. thank you so much!

Hi. I’m 15 years old and I have a bowel problem. Every time I have to take a #2 it’s usually once every week and they become to big to flush. I did have frequent constipation when I was younger. I am currently taking fiber pills but my once a week bowel movements keep ocurring. I’m thinking of trying a colon cleanse or enema. If all else fails, I’m heading to a gastroantologist.

I hurt my back acouple of months ago, the back pain is better but I am having pain in the rectal area, constipation,and it feels a little swollen. Could this be associated with me hurting my back?
