It all started out about the first week in December when I became very gassy and would fart way more than usual. About 2 days later I would have to go the bathroom 10 times a day with some bouts of diarrhea. For the next 10 days I would kept going to the bathroom upwards of 20-25 times a day with some diarrhea and blood. I went to the doctor and had an endoscopy, which showed some moderate inflammation in my transverse, and descending colon but everything else was normal. My blood test showed high monocytes and eosinophils but this could be due to my allergy with cats (my family has 2). My doctor then thought it was ulcer colitis but then changed his mind when he found a small obstruction in my intestine. As a result he put me on Entocort for Crohn’s Disease. However, it had no affect on me what so ever. Ever since December, I still go to the bathroom and poop out straight bright red blood every morning (NOT diarrhea) even though I’m on Prednisone, which now has my doctor thinking it could be an infection. Also on Prednisone, I’ve been having around 12-14 inch poops once a day.
My symptoms are just some bouts of diarrhea and constipation (going to the bathroom 20 times a day when not on Prednisone) with white oily mucus and straight blood in my stool. I’m always hungry and never get sick when I eat (This includes dairy). I don’t have any other symptoms of Crohn’s such as pain in my lower right part of my abdomen, rashes, joint pain, loss of appetite and weight, eye inflammation…. Basically, all of my symptoms are just intestinal so does this sound like Crohn’s still?
Also my stools have a very foul odor to them.
And I really don’t fart anymore since the first week in December.

I’m 23 years old. I’ve had some IBS type symptoms as well as noticed a decent amount of bright red blood streaking my stool and on the TP on one occasion. I went to my GP who noted I had a small fissure.

I went to a specialist who scheduled me for a colonoscopy. I had to wait 3 weeks to get it done and in that time I didn’t see blood once. When I got the scope it turned out I had a very twisted and looping colon. This caused me so much pain they could only see the rectum/anus/sigmoid/descending colon before having to stop. The noted everything in those areas looked normal. Now hemorrhoids or fissures. They rescheduled me to finish the scope 3 weeks from now.

Yesterday my stool became solid for the first time since the prep 4 days ago. I noticed when I went to the bathroom and very minor scrape time pain in the rectum followed by a bit of bright blood on the TP.

From what I’ve read, bright red blood seems to come from the area that they saw with the scope (the lower colon) is it possible I just have a fissure that healed in the 3 weeks leading up to the scope and re-opened the other day because of my solid stool?

Or do you think bright red blood can actually be coming from my transverse/ascending colon and i have cancer?

I’ve read that blood from there is usually very dark red or black.

I felt a little reassured after the partial scope but now that I saw blood again I’m getting scared..

I’ve been having this problem for more than 3 months. Some exercises I do when I lift weights give me a weird twitchy feeling on my left and right sides of my abdomen. Kind of like my ascending and descending colon get spastic while I lift a certain way. I’m positive the way in which i’m lifting is correct, but I want to know why i get this feeling. The reason this is so important to me is because it generally leads to me not being able or passing very little stool for the next few weeks or so. Has anybody else experienced anything like this?
had a cat scan, no abnormal obstructions/ not an organic issue.

I need the missing artery. Anyhelp would be greatly appreciated. I will give 10 points.

1.) Abdominal Aorta, ____________, ascending colon
2.) Abdominal Aorta, ____________, descending colon
3.) Internal carotid, ___________, eye
4.) External carotid, ____________, lips
5.) Brachiocephalic,_____________, external carotid
6.) Subclavian, ___________, basilar artery.

You dont have to help, but I have done 35 of these already and I am mentally drained. Any help would be greatly appreciated. THANK YOU!!!
I am to football love

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.

The start of the process – the mouth: The digestive process begins in the mouth. Food is partly broken down by the process of chewing and by the chemical action of salivary enzymes (these enzymes are produced by the salivary glands and break down starches into smaller molecules).

On the way to the stomach: the esophagus – After being chewed and swallowed, the food enters the esophagus. The esophagus is a long tube that runs from the mouth to the stomach. It uses rhythmic, wave-like muscle movements (called peristalsis) to force food from the throat into the stomach. This muscle movement gives us the ability to eat or drink even when we’re upside-down.

In the stomach – The stomach is a large, sack-like organ that churns the food and bathes it in a very strong acid (gastric acid). Food in the stomach that is partly digested and mixed with stomach acids is called chyme.

In the small intestine – After being in the stomach, food enters the duodenum, the first part of the small intestine. It then enters the jejunum and then the ileum (the final part of the small intestine). In the small intestine, bile (produced in the liver and stored in the gall bladder), pancreatic enzymes, and other digestive enzymes produced by the inner wall of the small intestine help in the breakdown of food.

In the large intestine – After passing through the small intestine, food passes into the large intestine. In the large intestine, some of the water and electrolytes (chemicals like sodium) are removed from the food. Many microbes (bacteria like Bacteroides, Lactobacillus acidophilus, Escherichia coli, and Klebsiella) in the large intestine help in the digestion process. The first part of the large intestine is called the cecum (the appendix is connected to the cecum). Food then travels upward in the ascending colon. The food travels across the abdomen in the transverse colon, goes back down the other side of the body in the descending colon, and then through the sigmoid colon.

The end of the process – Solid waste is then stored in the rectum until it is excreted via the anus.

It’s for my homework, i don’t know weather to mention the ph in the mouth and in the stomach…how would i fit that in so that it runs smoothly? Also could i say the salivary glands break down the food into suger molocules? Or is that in correct?……and do i have any spelling mistakes?

Thanks xxx

It hangs well below my belly button. The course of my colon going up the ascending colon to the hepatic flexure then coming down in a "U" shape is my transverse colon, then completing the "U" at the splenic flexure and then coming down the descending colon.

D) The skin is___ to the bones? E) The radius is ___ to the humerus? F) The esophagus is ___ to the trachea? G) The bladder is ___ to the ascending colon? H) The sternum is ___ to the descending colon?

The answers are Superior, Inferior, Anterior, Posterior, Medial, Lateral, Proximal, Distal, and Deep.

Ascending colon
Transverse colon Descending colon
Sigmoid colon Rectum

I have apaper due, here is my word bank;Mouth, anus, ascending colon, cecum, descending colon, duodenum, esophagus, ileum,jejunum,pharynx,rectum,sigmoid colon, stomach, transverse colon. Now I have to put them in order, by the digestive process, starting with mouth. Can anyone help out? Thanks

defecation reflex to occur is called the:

a. Rectum
b. ascending colon
c. descending colon
d. appendix

Yesterday my sister had surgery to remove her entire ascending and transverse colon to just below the splenic flexure due to cancer. She did get to keep her descending colon and the anastomosis went well. How will this affect her in her every day life? Any information would be appreciated.
