Don’t tell me its not healthy b/c I DON’T CARE. I don’t exercise but tell me if this diet is good.

I’ve been taking a teen vitamin which has 100 something cals. I also take 2 kid gummies (they taste so good:)) & they r 15 cals each. I don’t eat breakfest or lunch. My dinner is a bag of popcorn (I know it sounds dumb, but popcorn is healthy & doesn’t have a lot of cals at all & I love popcorn anyway). I’m going to have 1 tbs of olive oil b/c i heard its good for the colon or something, is that true?

I 1st started doing this 2day, If I do it for a week or at least a few days, can i lose a few pounds? Don’t bother telling me that I’m an idiot b/c I kno I probably am but I really wanna lose wieght. So yeah, can i lose 5 pounds?

Okay, so I am feeling bloated. I’m irregular like "WHOAH!" I’m thinking of thriving on veggies and lax tea for a few days. My stomach is sticking out some, too. I’m a fattycakes, but even after having kids, my stomach never stuck out that much. I just want to re-jump start weight loss starting with a colon cleansing.
Do not thumbs-down smartypants responses. It’s to be expected of some of my awesome contacts. If it’s funny, laugh.
I have to cut out coffee????
*cries*
I’m going to be sluggish, but I’m gonna do what I gotta do.

Sorry that this is really long. We just moved into a new place with my cat Bella and she seemed to be doing fine with the move. However a few days ago, she vomited twice.I T was dark and liquidy. She stopped and thought it just a hairball or something. Yesterday, she got outside for like 5 minutes or so, because I was cleaning her litter box outside and she got out and jumped and we had to find her. She stopped vomiting and thought it just a hairball or something. Today she became really lethargic, when she seemed fine yesterday. Usually Bella is super friendly running up to the door meowing when you get home meowing when you get up following you running around the house. Today she just layed in bed and slept even though we were all up and moving. We did take her to the vet and they took xrays. There was something in her intestines that could have been something she swallowed or a hairball(which is possible because she’s been shedding a lot due to the stress of moving.) They gave her fluids and told us to make sure she drank water and to give her hairball medicine 2x a day to see if she could pass it. If not its a 00 surgery. Yeah not pretty considering we are absolutely broke. I don’t know what to do. She won’t drink anything so we give her water from a dropper. We pretty much have to force her hairball medicine down. However she does seem kind of better when I pick her up. At the vet, she cried really loud and now she either doesn’t meow or only once. Do you think she’ll be ok and pass it? I’m really worried because we just can’t afford surgery. This is what I hate about vets. I want to be one, but don’t you think that if someone honestly could not afford the surgery, what are they going to do let her die? That’s horrible. When I’m a vet, if someone can’t afford it, I would do it for free or less if I could. Anyway. Thanks and any advice on getting her to eat, drink, get better would be great.

She is 79 yrs old. After surgery they did not remove the large mass on her sigmoid colon because it was to vascular to remove and she would more than likely bleed to death if they tried. It will be one week since her surgery and she is still very very weak, gets out of breath with us daughters helping her to bathroom. Even when they gave her a portable pottychair to use she gets severely cold and clammy, extramely nausous, shivers, very rapid heartbeat, and has a hard time taking a breath. When she tries to speak to us during these attacks of her sitting up moving around, she is so winded and it takes so much just to finish a single sentence. Mom is very anemic and her heme count dropped to a 7.2 she will not accept any blood transfusuions due to her beliefs religious wise and the past few days docs given her iron pills and that has raised her count to a 9.4 but its still low…. Her tummy is still so very bloated and her urin output is not that much even though they are pumping her with several IV fluid bags. Could it be the cancer is just wiping her out she is not on any chemo yet. We are trying to figure out WHY she is so winded, weak and slightly feverish at times … clammy, chills… Could it be her heart they have not noticed yet?.. OR is this a common reaction after this type of surgery? We are aware that the Doctors told us without the surgery, she probly wouldnt have lived more than 2 weeks. But since she had the surgery, it may extend her time who knows.. is this symptoms of the end her weakness?? They placed her on a clear diet but she does not eat any of that.. no broth jello or anything but a sip of water or two thats it. she has been without food for 14 days now… but what can we do or possibly suggest to the doctors do to help her in this situation? Cancer has masestize to her liver and lungs i forgot to mention above. Anyone who has had a loved one with the same symptoms that she is going through please let me know how I can help her, what can we do, and how much longer did they live after going through these symptoms after surgery? I want to keep her as long as possible but I need to make her as comfy as possible. I wonder why her tummy is swelling up again??? Anybody with ideas or experience I apreciate your help. God Bless

my best friend told me that if I want to clean out my intestines, that eating just white rice for a few days and boiled water will help clean me out. yet my mother says this is a bad idea. I would like a few more opinions on the subject

I’m doing a foot detox this after noon. I just started a diet that recommends a colon detox. After doing the foot detox is it safe for me to start the colon detox right away? Should I wait a few days? Give me and advice, and tell me any stories that you think may help me! Thanks!

Over the years strange things have happened in my house with different cats I have been owned by. I thought if I shared maybe people could tell me some and get some giggles on a boring night. I swear cats get themselves in the strangest situations!

My first cat ever was maybe a year old and after eating treats he was cleaning himself and stuck his one nail right through his tongue. I called the vet they said if he stops eating bring him in but they had never heard of that before.

I had another cat who was also young. We also had a salt water fish tank. We got an eel for one of the tanks. Within 48 hours we had trouble. We came home and the top of the tank was half in the water- we had a wet cat and no eel. I called the vet and they were dumbfounded- the question went like this: Can a 9 month old kitten eat a 9 inch eel? The girl on the phone was stuttering- now it’s very funny. Their only response was that is the eel had teeth it could nick the intestines and cause problems. We watched him for a few days but he was fine.

My older cat likes to escape every few years and run around in the grass. After one such episode he was blowing out of his nostrils a lot. I was perplexed as to why- two days later he’s still doing it like he had a booger stuck in there. Then I noticed bloody mucus coming out and started to get worried. That night I look over at him and something long and dark green was hanging out of his nose. I pulled and believe it or not he had a 4 inch long piece of grass stuck in there!

OK I’m afraid they won’t put this up cause it’s too long. Anyone have funny or strange stories to tell? Thanks!

I am on a clear diet and TPN. As long as I do not eat the swelling in small bowel goes down. When I eat the swelling returns and takes a few days to go down after I stop eating again. This does not sound like a symptom of chron’s. There has not yet been a colonoscopy or biopsy for definate diagnosis. I also have a drain placed in my lower right abdomen to drain an abcess caused by a tear in the colon due to the swelling. CT shows stranding in affected section. Does this sound like Chron’s or could this be something else.

I’m sure some are thinking I’m panicking and I probably am.

The problem is, as of Friday, I started to experience severe stomach aches (it’s now Wednesday). Just right now I had an hour-long stomach ache which was probably the worst pain i ever experienced in my life, which lasted for an hour. The stomach ache would occur once per day for no longer than an hour between 7 to 8PM. My stool was normal up until two nights ago it turned black, however tonight it turned more into a light black/greenish color.

Like I said, I’m sure I’m panicking but just to make myself feel better, I decided to proceed with asking this. Do you think I have colon cancer based on what I described above? I’m sure some will just say "go see a doctor", which I have an appointment tomorrow, so I really don’t feel like hearing the typical. I just want educated guesses to help me get in a better state-of-mind for the time being.

As for my background; I do not drink or smoke. The only stuff I took recently was a natural testosterone booster (which is legal). I got off of it a few days ago after I experienced these stomach aches. My diet is pretty clean. I usually only eat chicken breasts (sometimes pre-marinated & frozen from the store), tuna fish in water, oatmeal, corn, lettuce, whey protein shakes & baked potatoes. Some days when I feel like pigging out a little with carbs, I make it clean with stuff such as yogurt, orange juice, burritos on whole wheat torillas, which I eat those foods occasionally.

I also exercise regularly. I jog about four miles per day and make it to the gym every other day. Due to my clean diet & my routine, I am pretty shocked to experience anything wrong with myself, physically. I don’t get sick, at all unless it’s allergies. Also, there is no cancer history among my family, excluding my grandma on my dad’s side, who had breast cancer. Other than that, my family was pretty clean from cancer, however, you never know if it will strike me or not. Don’t expect everything to follow a pattern or for things to be that predictable. The unexpected can always occur.

Thanks. I’m only looking for serious answers, seeing this is based on a serious topic.

Best answer will get 10 points.
EDIT: I also weighed myself today and I am 161 pounds, which is down from Sunday (three days ago) when it read 164 pounds.
I forgot to add I’m 20 years old….

I know there are many different brands, so please include that name of the one you tried.

What did they really do for you?
Did you just go to the bathroom a lot? If so, was it so much that it was a problem in daily life?
Did you have stomach cramps?
Did it cause diarrhea or nausea?
Did you really pass anything weird like in some of the photos they have at the sites?
Did you feel better? If so, was it within a few days or immediately?
How long did you take it?
How did you feel when you stopped taking it?
Did you change your diet with it and if so, was it a diet plan?
Do you have any health problems like I.B.S. or spastic colon or chronic bloating or chronic constipation and how did it affect you?

Please include everything you can think of. I’m not really interested in these for weight loss, though that would be a benefit, but to see if any of them improve how I feel overall.

Thanks to everyone that replies with a good, honest, helpful answer.

Been having hard stools for about 3 days now. I’m 15. I thinks it what ive been eating for the past 2 weeks. I been eating mcds and burger king and pizza straight all 2 weeks. And i noticed my stool is hard. And i havent been feeling that good. Like fatique and irritible and stuff. I ate a salad today with fries and a whopper for dinner. I have to stop eating fast food lol. Took 2 stool softener tablets and 2 benefiber tablets. I noticed today after i ate that salad and that ive gotten like gas in there i cant fart out LOL. But its good to see im producing some gas. As a few days ago i wasnt and i was bloated after i alwayys ate and had like a bowel movement of 2 tirds LOL. I remember i had this a while back and i drank some of my dads milk of magnesia and OHHH BOY after a day i was cleaning out the street suers. LOL, but yeah… any advice… i hope its nothing serious with my intestines or nothing. Just want to see if anyone experieneced that before or not lol

I’ve been interesting in cleansing my body internally for awhile now. I don’t want to visit any clinics or anything and get that huge tube (LOL) but I am interested in taking some supplements or vitamins. I’ve been reading up on Dr. Natura Colonix and although it’s mainly positive, I also seen a lot of negative reviews. But I want to feel healthier and I don’t want my gas or breath to smell bad. I also remember seeing an infomercial on television about a colon cleansing product that seemed very good at removing a lot of the waste in regular bowel movements (nothing like laxatives though). Does anyone know that product or can recommend anything else?
No. This has nothing to do with diet pills or wanting to be thin. I just heard it’s important to cleanse your body every once in awhile with a cleansing that lasts for a few days and not like, months or anything since that’ll take away your body’s nutrients and moisture.

I started having rectal pain a few days ago, starting after I worked out much harder than I usually do. (This was about 4 days ago). Today, the pain was gone, but then it started to bleed. It’s mostly bleeding then stopping then repeating. What’s wrong? What should I do? (I am using Preparation H).

The rectal bleeding has been going on for several months now. I do have hemorrhoids and have had on and off for 12 years since the birth of my son. Normally they’ll come out and then go back in after a few days and not return for a couple of months. They have STAYED out for months now (at least since October)! The past month and a half to two months I have also had blood clots from the rectum. I have always had strange bowel habits. I only use the restroom once every week or two and that is usually after taking a laxative. I do take fiber supplements (prescription) but nothing works. A few days ago when I used the restroom there was even a sort of bloody slime in the toilet. I am only 32 years old but my dad died from colon cancer at 54. My moms mom died from colon cancer at 65. My dads dad died from colon cancer in his 50′s and his mom has had colon cancer but is cancer free. I called the best gastrologist in our area yesterday and ask for an appt. and they said it would be March before I could be seen. She then asked my symptoms and I told her. Now I am concerned because after hearing my symptoms they worked me in to be seen on Monday. Is this something to be concerned about or is there less worrisome things that it could be? Also, isn’t 32 too young to have colon cancer? Sorry if this is long winded but I am really concerned. I’ve put off going for so many months because I’m scared.

for the past month or so i’ve been getting weird pains in my mons pubis area. the pain sometimes spreads to my labias, but not around or in the vaginal opening. the pain feels like the muscle ripping, but it’s not that painful. it doesnt stop me from going by my normal day, i’m just worried lol! it only last for a few seconds, 10 seconds max, and happens around 2-5 timesa a day. some days its worse than others. i also get a sharp pain around my anus hole (lol) and my butt cheeks at the same time, although this is a sharp pain, different to the mons pubis pain. its hard to describe sorry…. if it was just pain, like ‘one of those things’ i wouldnt care, the pain doesnt really disturb me, i just worry incase its something bad!
the pain started beginning of december, and i didnt get the pain for just over a week, just after xmas i think, and its just come back in the past few days. the only thing that i changed is my diet, but other than that i didnt do anything different.
one more thing, when i first experienced this pain it was this situation:
i got the pain a couple of times, but it wasnt as often, and one day i randomly went to stand up, and i felt a really bad pain – like an electric shocl/muscle ripping kinda pain, which lasted for about a minute, then faded. this made me think it was a pulled muscle, but it hasnt got better.
i’m 16, virgin, and i suffer from ibs, so is this a symptom of ibs? please help guys xxxx

I eat an all natural diet. High in fiber. Lots of vegetables and fruits. Nuts and whole grains. Its the only food in my diet. Along with protein from fish and chicken. Seems like a healthy diet but I’ve recently developed a pain in lower right abdominal. Its like a discomfort all around that area and into lower intestines. Days ago I had a stool that was maroon colored. My dr said all this was probably because my diet produces hard stools and probably scratched my colon and irratated it. So I’ve been takin stool softeners for the last few days and havnt noticed that big of a difference. Is this something that just needs more time or should I go in to a specialiast at hospital.

when i say labia, i mean labia majora.

I am a 40 year old woman in great health and physical condition. About a month ago I started drinking a few ounces of grapefruit juice with my daily intake of water. I would probably drink 15 ounces or more of grapefruit juice in one day. The last few days I have had a stomach ache and a strange fluttering in my lower colon area. I am wondering if this is the grapefruit juice catching up with me – or something else.

Is it common with Irritable Bowel syndrome that after being constipated for a few days and finally using the rest room to have bright red blood in the toilet after you go and when you wipe?

I’m really scared right now, my mom who is a nurse said it was just a tear from going to the bathroom and bright red blood is nothing to worry about but dark black blood would be…….

Just curious if other people with IBS have been through this
Its happened before and lasted a day or two but I don’t remember it being this much

I’m 27 year old who drives truck for a living. I am a healthy person and I work really hard for my family, anyways a little over 3 year ago I had some rectal bleeding, there was no pain and it was bright red and lasted only a few days. it happened again a year later with the same symptoms. I over looked all this as there was no pain and it went away after a few days. but now that it has happened again I’m not going to over look it, last week I had sever abdominal pain that lasted about ten minutes and then I had the sudden urge to use the restroom and had diarrhea but with no blood(not sure if it’s related to the bleeding or not) that night I ate habanero peppers with my meal and the following day had bright red blood come out, this lasted for 3 days and the blood was mainly on the toilet paper and in the toilet staining it red but also has been on the stool. it went away for a day but then reappeared today. I do plan on seeing a doctor as soon as I’m back in town although I have no health insurance and I’m not really sure where to start either (I want to go to the main guy who will help me asap) should I go to the ER? will they beable to determine anything there?

I just wanted to know if anyone has had these problems and what they might be? where to go? and could the ER determine anything at the hopital? or would they have to send me somewhere else?
I’m always working and have little time to run around thats all I know there is a long list of things it could be but I’m just looking for some advice here. thank you.

it has been a few months now that i have been really constipated. i have been taking fiber suppliment pills, and also colace. they are not helping. i only have bowel movements like once a week if im lucky. my stomache is rock hard from it. is there any way to totally clean out my intestines in a day or two for some immediate releif? i am not worried about being strapped to the toilet for a few days… anything to help. i even tried prune juice

A few days ago I had an episode…I guess. I was watching tv, the felt like I needed to go #2. I ignored it for a bit, but then I started having bad pains and decided to go. I did go #2 with no problems, but I had extreme rectal and lower stomach pains and pressure. I thought I still needed to go so I sat for awhile trying…but nothing else happened. I finally got up(still in alot of pain…it did not subside when I went to the bathroom) I layed on my couch wrything in pain, sweating and feeling dizzy and nasueas for a few minutes before I got up to take some Tylenol. I then layed back down for a few hours. I had bad pains all thru the night but not like it was in the beginning. Well that was a 2 nights ago. I have not had an episode like that again but I continue to have lots of rectal pressure and even more lower belly pain and pressure. It hurts when I try to go to he bathroom(pee or poop) when I cough, move or touch my belly. Its not horrible pain but I would rate it a 7 on a 1-10 pain scale.

I jjust do’t know why its still going on. I am not constipated…havn’t been in years. I am not bleeding or anything like that. I am a pretty healthy 23 year old female.

Some other info that might help to diagnose. I had a csection almost 2 years ago. I have adheasions from that csection, I have an IUD in place for over 1.5 years. I do not have any disease or chronic illness. I have never experienced this before.

I know it sonds like gas…I thought that too…but does gas keep going for days and days?? Its just weird and I’m worrried….thanks for any help.
