Best thing that will make you intestines feel good and clean if there is bad bacteria in there. I already take align daily.

About 3 weeks after I had my third son, I started having a really bad stomach ache. I called my Dr and she sent me to the hospital to check for cysts but thought maybe it was coming from my intestines. The ultrasounds came back clean but the blood and urine cultures showed only the tiniest variations of normal. She decided to treat me for a bladder infection and possible kidney infection. She gave me nitrofurantin and told me to drink a lot of cranberry juice. About 12 hours after starting the antibiotic I could stand up straight again and could feel the pain subsiding. I have been on it about 6 days and feel much better, however, when I stretch I still feel that initial pain again. Not sure if I should be concerned or not. I really don’t want whatever I had to come back again!
Yes, I drank about 3 of the family size bottles of pure cranberry juice so far and have started on the fourth. Also, I have increased my water intake since I am still nursing my baby. And I do have one more day left of the antibiotic.

I asked this question earlier, and recieved many responses, very few of them were from anyone that had seen the horrors of combat. Most of them sounded like people that had never been there. I recieved some very articulate responses, but they sounded like coffee shop scholars, Ones who have never watched your buddy trying to stuff his intestines back inside. Ones who have never seen the ghastly horror war has to offer. Some who said that said war is an activity! and we should segregate combat units by sexes. some said that a women should stay at home and clean up after men. some said that certain physical requirements should be set. Which are in place. when I was in the Marines the ratio of women that could keep up with the men was extremly low. War is a thinking game but also very physical. The ratio of women keeping up with men physically is so low. Yes, there is men that can’t handle it, but that’s why the Marine Corps kicks them out. Why do women want to be in combat?

It covered in Locust intestines. How do I go about gettin dat b*tch clean?

~Bones~ of any kind.They can splinter & puncture the trake or intestines or stomach or colon etc & can be fatal.Rawhide chewies are best but not for older dogs because they are harder to digest.
~Salt ~especially older dogs.Some dogfoods do not contain salt.We use Nutro senior.
~Chocolate~Is toxic & fatal,,can cause heart attack,,bad for nervous system,,liver & kidneys
~Grapes~ are toxic & can be fatal as is,,
~Raisins~&
~Onions~
~Dairy products~including milk cannot be digested as in humans
~No Spicey Foods~
~No Tomatos~ too acidy
~No Sugar~ can cause diabetes (including cookies & ice cream etc)
~No Bread~ turns into sugar
~Fruit ~ has no nutricianal value to a dog
~Small amount of potatoe occationally is ok
~Rice,,cooked veggies & boiled boneless beef/liver or chicken is good.Cool Completely.This is a good diet with a dog multi vitamin daily.

I work at a vet clinic, and we see a lot of dogs with intestinal parasites, like roundworms, hookworms, and tapeworms. I know most of the parasites dogs get are species specific. But I also know it is possible for a human to get them. But from what I have learned they act differently in humans than in dogs. They tend to effect the eyes, or other parts of the body. But I am watching this gross show on animal planet about people who have had them in their intestines. Working around intestinal parasites nearly every day at the vet clinic, I get worried about catching them. While I try to be as cautious as possible, wearing gloves, keeping the area clean, and washing my hands very good, I still sometimes get scared about it.
Has anyone ever had an intestinal parasite?

i know its probably not common, but my mom only weighs like 85 lbs so maybe i just get a really small thin frame from her or could i have internal problems? i workout and have lots of energy and feel great. i even have some pretty nice overall muscle definition and large bicepts, i dont quite have a 6pack yet but im getting there. i dont get how i can weigh so little, especially having muscle too, i thought muscle was heavy.

oh, and i know ill probably get 10 answers saying go see a doctor, i did and he saw me for about 5 seconds and said i was fine. doctors are a waste of time. i want some second opinions on here. thanks alot

i recall reading that eating lots of meat and processed food can make your organs work harder, enlarging them and making them weigh more, and eating a typical american diet can really clog you up with an extra 30-40 lbs lining your intestines.

i only eat clean healthy food i grow in my garden so maybe this has something to do with it?

I’ve heard of master cleanses and all sorts of other strange and depriving ways of clearing out your stomach and intestines but I would like to know what is the best, most effective and COST effective method to clearing out your stomach, colon, and gastrointestinal lining. Also, if anyone could also give some insight into getting rid of reflux once and for all, that would be much appreciated. Thank you!

Ok last night i had a nightmare!!
I was at a house with some of my relatives. One of them had cooked a soup. Someone gave me a big bowl full of soup and I started eating it. It was clothes soup. There were pieces of white and red clothes and I was eating those! i could almost taste the flavor of those clothes… so dry like cotton and so dry that it would hurt my teeth..(and as Im writing this my mouth is watering?? wtf??) after finishing the whole soup i started feeling sick very sick.. and i felt like throwing up but i couldnt. My body was trying to throw up but the clothes were stuck in my stomach. I used my fingers, pencils..anything to make myself vomit but i couldnt. Someone told me that i could die of nternal bleeding because my stomach would be lacerated by the pieces of cloth. I went to the hospital and an x-ray showed my bloated intestines! they had to clean my whole intetsines and body.. it was weird. Now i’ve been burping clothes all day?? like a weird taste.. whats wrong?

Okay, this weekend got a little out of hand and I stuffed my face with chips and ate cookie dough with a friend at a sleepover sooooo I don’t have big days like that often, so I think I’m allowed! Hahahah but I want to get back on track, so what’s the best way to clean my intestines and all that stuff without using pills or anything like that? Green tea? I also heard natural honey works, but I’m not sure yet, so what do you think?!

Thanks guys!

Our little dashound had been sick for several days. We took him into the vet a week ago, and after several days they had to do exploritory suergery.. They opened him up and found his pancreas to be white and not working. What did they mean when they said it was white? How serious is his problem is it was white? He also had alot of "stuff" in his intestines they had to clean out. He is on IV fluids now and seems like he is getting better… but not able to eat without throwing up. Is it possible to recover and live normal at all? I know he will have to eat low fat and stuff, but I am scared that there is something the vet had not told us.

Does anyone else hate when they see little kids drinking caffeinated pop? Don’t parents know that ceffeinated drinks can eat away at your bones and actually create holes in your intestines? I mean Coke can clean rust off of metal–what makes parents think it’s okay to give there kids that stuff? What do you think? Should people have to be a certain age before they should be allowed to have caffeinated drinks? Kinda like alcoholic beverages?

Who is 3 years old keeps eating crap like, paper, elastic bands, plastic, pritty much anything he can find to munch on?
why do i ask, sick and tired of listen to him yak(throw up) in the middle of the night. Then having to get up and clean it up.

I don’t what him to get to sick that i may have to take him to the vet, for having somthing stuck in his intestines.

Have any ideas to get him to stop???????????????

P.s his sister doen’t act like him at all she is a normal cat…
my cats are free fed meaning they never run out of food!
I also have a 2 year old
And my cat is smart!!
He hides stuff, and finds finds stuff i never knew i had
he has lots of toys, but rater distroy everything else

We all know that small bowel resection is a method to join normal intestines using a suture thread. Over time will the small intestine naturally join / close together (e.g when you cut yourself with a knife you wound will naturally closed / healed) or its still depend on the thread to hold them together?

We have a female horse who is about 21-25 years old. Thursday we realized that she was sick, and called the vet who said she had the flu. We gave her medicine as instructed (banamine) and walked her that night, but she was no better on Friday. We took her to the vet Friday afternoon, and the vet determined she had colic instead of the flu. He gave her oil to help her bowels move, but still even by today (Monday) nothing has changed. He has told us that she will either use the bathroom, or something inside her will rupture. He has taken X-rays and said that she is blocked up beyond her colon so doing an enema on her won’t help anything. Her intestines are NOT twisted, and the vet is unable to determine why nothing is passing through. Does anyone know ANYTHING we can do to help relieve her or fix this problem without putting her to sleep. It seems that there has to be another way of cleaning out her system than just using oil as a laxative. PLEASE HELP!
The vet who cares for her treats ONLY large animals like horses. She has been in his care since Friday in a barn where he treats his patients. He put her on IV for the first time this morning, but gave her water with her oil prior to today. Also, our horse exhibits NO pain. She isn’t pawing, biting, or anything like that. She just stands around with her head dropped. She won’t eat or drink. Does this not sound like colic?
I realize I’ve asked this question ONE other time. I’m trying to find out as much information as possible to help my horse. Please try to show a little compassion.

Earlier this morning, I went to the orthodontist, and he put on the elastic bands this time. He said to take them off when cleaning my teeth, and if i’m finding it difficult, eating. One of them already had came off, so I put it back on. As I was eating, I noticed it wasn’t there anymore, and I have searched around my mouth with my tounge. and i’m pretty sure i’ve swallowed it:(. My mum says that now I have done that, the band may strangle my intestines. but the band is really, really, small. will I be okay?

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.

I picked her up, and turned her over, i found her genitalia part was covered in blood and it looks as if her intestines are coming out? but im not too sure. – I’m really confused.

Recently i have noticed her licking herself often, but i just thought she was cleaning herself.
She’s quite an old hamster, about 2 and half years old.
I dont know what to do, she doesn’t seem to be in pain, but i cant just leave her?

HELP!

Alright, so this morning I found out that my dog had gotten ahold 2 pieces of dry chicken, bones included. Was cleaning up the kitchen this morning, threw it away..and it must’ve fallen and he got ahold of it.

It was cooked, but it was at least 12 hours before he got into it He’s around 25-30lbs, 3 hours now and he’s still active, he’ll eat and drink fine so I know nothing is lodged in his throat..I’ve given him 4 slices of bread, and a little bit of Canned pumpkin..Is there anything else I should do to help him digest it and reduce the chances of it slicing up his intestines?

Thanks.

NEVER had a cat before. Never cared much for them. Then I hit a cat. She ran out in the road in front of me doing 50mph 7-10-07. Hit her and and killed her. Let’s just say she was VERY pregnant and so I was cleaning sacs off of kittens in the road. Instinct I guess. I found the nearest vet. Only one kitten made it, barely. Vet said put her down…I refused. I hand fed and doctored this cat from birth. Spent over ,300 on vet bills. Had deformed intestines, surgically corrected, and she made it THANK GOD. My ‘people’ hate my cat because admittedly Bear can do NO wrong as far as I’m concerned. No one gets it. It’s not fair to them I know, Bear getting in people’s plates, on counters, sleeping on people’s clothes. She ‘listens’ to me but she ignores them and does as she pleases. She’s downright mean to them. I just feel like I ‘owe’ her. How did I get to be totally owned by this CAT? Why does she hate my ‘people’ so much? They aren’t mean to HER at all! Why am I like this with her?!?
I was told that you guys were great!! I feel much better knowing I’m not alone. Thank you SO much, all of you. Looks like me and Bear will be ‘dining’ alone for a while.I’ll give her her own food while I eat. She has a grain allergy and eats prepared foods so she doesn’t really know ‘her’ food is different than mine. I think perhaps it’s that my people don’t fall all over her like I do and it upsets her. Bear wants to be babied, and when they don’t she seems somehow offended, if that’s possible for a cat. Still learning ya know.
brutus…still trying to figure out what to do about ‘fixin.’ Her lil insides were so messed up and there’s been so much alteration in there, her vet is a lil afraid to fix her and we’re undecided what to do. No, she isn’t peeing all over..yet. My people don’t object to Bear really per say, but the side of cat hair with everything is hard. I just want her to have what I took away from her poor mama and her brothers and sisters. No kids here, so she’s my kid!

had aspirating pneumonia 2x in the las 3 months, he has never even had pneumonia 1x in his life until now and he is 6 yrs. I was wondering if anyone had an idea of what could be happening? They did change his feedings from pediasure with fiber to ensure plus (it has no fiber) so I thought maybe with his many meds he was getting backed up with his feces. I do give him milk and molasses enemas every 3 to 4 days and miralax when needed but I m not sure if its cleaning him out. The doctors dont have a clue. I tried to start benifiber but even the little amount seems to give him cramps. Any idea and do you think I may be right with my thought of being backed up?oh and a G/J tube is a feeding tube that goes in his stomach and his intestines so there are 2 tubes for feeding. Thanks very much for taking the time, Lisa
He has a hospital bed so I keep him up 24hrs a day , he also is on 60 ml 24hrs a dayfor feeding

I’m 23 years old, and I’m very much in need of help. I’ve been dealing with endometriosis, but I didn’t know what it was until I diagnosed after a laparoscopy last April. I also have aspergers syndome, so this entire experience has left me very near wanting to kill myself in pain and frustration.

For the past two years, I had been dealing with debilitating rectal pain during my periods. It it absolutely earth-shattering. I cannot sit, move, walk, or even go to the bathroom without screaming in pain. My flow was so heavy that I had to wear adult diapers just to catch the flow, and I missed so much work and school. My last gyn put me on birth control, and that lightened my flow and the pain wasn’t as bad, but it was still there and extremely uncomfortable. I cried myself to sleep at night because of the pain. A colonoscopy in Oct 2010 ruled out anything wrong with my colon or intestines, and I’ve had five or six in-office rectal exams with that same colorectal surgeon. My last OBGYN gave me two laparoscopies, one in Feb 2010 and another in Jan 2011. Both times he said he didn’t find anything wrong, even though obviously there was something wrong. Then in February 2011, the pain started occuring even when I wasn’t on my period. I told my doctor, and finally in March he refused to see me again and told me to find another doctor because he didn’t know what was wrong with me. Safe to say I was in tears and depressed for a very long time.

I went to see a new OBGYN in April 2011. He is a very young doctor, graduated in 2006, and I like him a lot. The attention and understanding he gives me is like day compared to the night of my last doctor. He did a pelvic exam and a pap smear, and I was leaping off the table in pain, trying to keep from screaming, but it didn’t really work. He could tell I was in excrutiating pain. He put me on the Depo shot to stop my periods, and I’ve been spotting ever since. I’m due for my second injection this month (June 2011). We decided to do another laparoscopy (April 2011), because my last doctor never sent over my other medical records for him to see. After I woke up, he told me that I had stage 2 endo with the majority of it on my colon. I was shocked, because twice my last doctor had checked for just that condition, and hadn’t found anything. This was just mere months before this last procedure. I felt absolutely cheated and dumbfounded. The new doc burned off everything that he could see, and said that should take care of my pain, and that after the Depo started kicking in, I should start to feel better.

It has been a month since my procedure, and I am still in pain. It’s worse during my period, obviously, but every minute of every single day, I have trouble sitting, walking, or doing any kind of physical activity. There is pain and pressurein my rectum all the time. If I have any kind of hard stool coming out, or if I haven’t had a bowel movement yet that day, it’s extremely irritating and uncomfortale. It hurts to have a bowel movement at all. It feels like my anal muscles are constantly straining to do their duty. I’m trying to become sexually active, and every time my boyfriend tries to penetrate, I feel like something is being pushed out of my rectum, like I need to have a bowel movement, and it hurts like h***. I can hardly have a bowel movement by myself, I always have to use laxatives or something to soften it up, but the frequent soft stools are making my hemorrhoids flare up again, and that causes even more pain.

The majority of the endo was on my rectum, or at least that was where most of the scare tissue was. Why am I still in this much pain a month after my procedure? The pain never went away at all. He told me it was just that I was hurting because of having the endo removed, but certainly it shouldn’t take this long to heal? And it’s the exact same pain, only now I’m having trouble going to the bathroom by myself. I use laxatives and suppositories to help me have a bowel movement, but I can hardly stick one in my rectum because I feel so swollen inside there. I want to have a hysterectomy, at least have my uterus removed, but my doctor doesn’t want to do that. I am very young, but I do not want children. I have aspergers, a mental disorder, and a very bad history of breast cancer and heart disease in my family, so in my opinion, it would be irresponsible of me to have children in the first place. My doctor knows this, but he is still hesitant. He wants me to see a pain specialist, but I’m sick of covering up the pain. I want to know how to fix it as much as I can! I don’t expect a cure, but certainly there is something else going on that’s still causing me these problems!

I’m sorry if this was TMI. I’ve just been down this road so many times and reiterated this story to so many people that I’m at my wit’s end. I just want to have some som

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
