I have IBS and IBD (proctitis -constipation with 2-3 healthy bowel movements (BM) a week). I have not had a regular bowel moment in 4 months. I eat a high fiber diet, no caffine only water. I recently went almost 2 weeks without a BM. I took 2 Xstrength EXlax, metamucil, 2 enemas and one bottle of Fleet and nothing came out. I had xrays and it showed that I have massive constipation. I am seeing a specialist next month.

I have been on a 3 month colon cleansing system for two weeks, taking 3 240mg stool softeners per day and still nothing. I have developed lower back pain and find it hard to stand straight or lay flat. I am always hungry and no matter how much sleep I get I am always tired. I have a 4-5 gumball pellets BM every couple of days – I think there is no room for the food I eat so some has to come out. Also have rectal bleeding – no hemmoroids. I have lost a couple of pounds. Bad stomach cramps.

Any suggestions on what may be wrong or what I can do?

I am a 22 year old male. I have noticed, over the last couple of days, that there has been blood every time I go the restroom to defecate. However, there is no pain. I do not feel any pain and it only happens when I defecate. I already have an appointment to go to the doctor on Monday. Any advice? prefer answers from medical professional.

I have this aloe Vera detox juice and I hear it detoxes the colon and helps you digest more.

But will it help me drop like a pound or 2 cause it’s getting all the bad stuff out?

Also, how long would it take and would I have to take it a couple of days in a row?

Hey yahooers,

I am going to the doctor in a couple of days, so i will be asking him as well, but just to see if anyone else can help…

I am on an anti depressant called pristiq, and i want to give the acai max cleanse and nature detox system (aka colon cleanse lol) a try cause i could do to lose a bit of weight…

Although these products say they’re natural and stuff, would it be okay to have all that or could it maybe interfere somehow? Because that weight loss thing does sound reliable and like it works! (which would be FANTASTIC!)

So not too long ago I started having abdominal pains. It hasn’t been too bad and it has been rather on and off for a couple of days – most recently it’s hardly shown up if at all. In between the duration of when it started I noticed what I thought to be bright red blood on the very end of one stool – which also happens to be the only appearance of the possible blood that I have noticed. I think it looks more narrow but unfortunately I’m not sure considering I don’t usually look to make the comparison. I have no history of either cancer in my family. I’m usually very tired and somewhat un-energetic but unfortunately it’s hard to use that as a symptom because I only get 4-5 hours of sleep and have a poor diet and sometimes don’t have lunch. I have always been underweight and somewhat pale I suppose.

Last time I was at the doctor I was told I have a lot of anxiety and need to stop worrying so much. Do you think it’s the same case this time around or does colon cancer seem fairly likely?
Though I’m well aware that diseases don’t pick ages to affect you, I’m 18.

Regarding as to any other symptoms relating to stools etc. I’m not sure, It has cycled through types 3-6 on the Bristol Stool Chart – I did my research!

I remember change in bowel habits being mentioned but I’m not sure if it was a single change or constantly changing or if it even makes a difference. Though with that being said, from what I recall, it was fine until I noticed the possible blood and started with the "impending doom" feeling. I’m not saying that to rule out anything – but I don’t know if that had an effect.

Thanks for the responses!

I intend on getting checked out by a doctor anyway – whether it’s with the intention of seeing if I have a disease or just to ease my mind.

I want to do a colon cleanse. I have been eating healthy and exercising but my bowel movements haven’t been normal. I have been having a bowel movement every day but it’s just not as much as it used to be. I feel very bloated all the time. Even when I stop eating 3 hours before going to bed I still always wake up feeling full. I think it might also be contributed to extra water weight that I haven’t lost yet. I’m thinking of doing the master cleanse (lemonade diet) for a couple of days. Or maybe a saltwater flush? I have used magnesium citrate before but it didn’t even make me use the restroom. Anyway, any advice you have is greatly appreciated. What do you think I should do? Do you have any homemade colon cleanse recipes? Thanks!

I have had a "nervous stomach" for a couple of days now and flatulence. How do I know if this is a stomach virus that will pass or if I have irritiable bowel syndrome, or what??

I have appointment with my gynecologist for pap smear in couple of days, will it be ok if I go to a spa one day before and have a Colon Hydrotherapy and Detox Massage?

I’m so worried about this/ Thanks for all of answers

I will be starting the master cleanse soon and I would like to know the minimum that I can take the laxative tea/salt water solution? I don’t want this to interfere with my job, so can I just take it in the evening before bed? Is every couple of days possible?
Also, do I need to do both laxative tea AND salt water or just one? How should I switch off between the two?

I had gastric bypass, which was pretty much similar in the terms of being on a liquid diet and starving, and I didn’t have to do any laxatives or saline and I was fine in terms of bowel issues. Other than the fact that I had very few.

Sorry about all the questions, I hope there are some experts out there to help me! Thanks

I had 2 parakeets, male and female, but the male died a couple of days ago. He was at least 5 years old, though nobody knows his real age. I spent about 3 hours yesterday cleaning and scrubing and rinsing cage, etc. (And rinsing and rinsing.) I used bleach on pan, and dawn on eveything else. (Yes, the bleach was diluted, about 8oz for 160 oz water.) She seems to be fine, still singing, and droppings look normal. I treated both with an antibiotic for 9 days, when he started acting sick. It’s been about 3 days since finishing treatment, and I was reading about birds needing bacteria in the intestines after antibiotics. How do I give Bene Bac to her, how often, and how much? Is it easier to use the gel, or the powder? I’m thinking of having it flown in overnight, so I’d like to know which one I should use on such a small bird. How do you store it? Has anyone got any experience in treating parakeets, and has any tips? Thanks.

I thought it’s probably hemorroids, but I bought some Preparation-H the kind with the suppositories and cream, but it didn’t help at all. There’s also foul smelling discharge seeping from the area. It will go away for a couple of days but then just comes right back. It’s so painful and uncomfortable. This started about 2 years ago, wasn’t so bad at first, there was no bleeding at first, but now recently, there’s been quite a bit of blood when I do bleed. I’ve already made an appointment to see a specialist at a colon and rectal clinic, but soonest day they have is almost a month away. What can I do in the meantime to help alleviate these symptoms? I haven’t gone out at all since I started having the rectal bleeding and foul smelling discharge because it’s too embarrasing and uncomfortable. Thankfully I have a job where I work from home, but even that’s getting very very difficult to do because I work on the computer and am sitting for hours a day. Can anyone please recommend anything that may help in the meantime?

I’m a 26 year-old male and live a healthy lifestyle- I workout 3 times a week, drink lots of water, and I absolutely love fruits. For the past couple of days I’ve been suffering from painful bowel movements, added with constipation, bloating, and mild abdominal pain. At first I thought it was the creatine that I recently started taking, but it’s been about 4 days now and I don’t see any improvment even after stopping. Please help!

Deep and loud burping for hours after I eat brocolli, potatoes, starches, or dairy. I feel a lot of pressure and sometimes sharp pains in my stomach along with rumbling after I have a big meal. I will only have a bowel movement every couple of days or so and it never seems like it gets fully released when I do go. Sometimes a get sharp pains up my rectum as well.
