I’ve had cramping, rectal bleeding and mucous for months now.
My colonoscopies don’t show any cancer, but I’m still in a lot of pain and worried about the blood and mucous. I think one of my ovaries is aggravating my intestines. Has anyone ever had a similar experience?

Is it the stomach, colon, or intestines, I don’t know much but people have told me I have those problems cause food gets stuck in my intestines?

I have tinea versicolor, which is basically a noncontagious fungal rash that appears on the skin. My mom keeps blaming it on all the "toxins" in my body and says I need to "take a cleaning out". She advises me to use Milk of Magnesium to encourage bowel movements every once in a while.

When I tell her that I don’t believe what I’m eating has anything to do with my condition seeing as it is external, and fungal, she gets annoyed at me. I’ve been trying to get her to take me to a dermatologist, but she refuses and keeps saying that all they’ll do is give me something to rub on my skin (which, in my point of view, is EXACTLY what I need, pharmaceutical strength anti-fungal lotion which I cannot get OTC).

She’s also blamed the boils I get on my skin on the "toxins" in my body from "build-up" of the food I eat. I know for a fact that boils are caused by toxins, but I’m pretty sure its from VIRAL or BACTERIAL infections which call for antibiotics to cure, not flushing my intestines.

Who here is right?

By the way, she found some doctor that is backing her up, but the doctor sounds like a quack to me. She says the cause of my skin condition is from me eating too much meat (which I actually eat very little of) and that I need to, again, "take a cleaning out" to fix. The only thing she said that made sense to me was for me to use a special plant oil on my skin (which I know has antifungal properties). Thoughts?

I found this quote
"A high fiber diet will help by redirecting fat soluble metabolites to the colon rather than bladder. "THC is eliminated primarily in the stool via bile acids. Both EMIT and RIA detect a secondary metabolite which is reabsorbed from the intestines. Thus a person with a high fiber diet will excrete a majority of THC [metabolites] in the stool" (anon1). A fiber-based laxitive will also help by binding bile-acids. Use caution. Fiber laxitives can alter one’s bowel schedule and lead to dependancy."
Is it true?

I had drinked about a 20 oz glass of prune juice last night. And an hour later, I was going like crazy. It came out black and smelled like dog poop. Not like a tar smell, but fresh dog poop. You know how dog poop has that funny smell? Ive had chronic constipation for almost a year because of my diet and excersise. I dont think its blood. I had drinked MOM before and it turned black once, and then another time i drinkin MOM and it was brown. This prune juice is very black. Almost like what I was pooping. It came out like water, and I have bowel sounds all night and I kept farting. Maybe it was cleaning up all the goop inside my intestines. Because even MOM didnt do this. Every 10 minutes I was going. I didnt realize prune juice could be this powerful!

This happened all last night. Im normal today, but I just drinked a 8 oz glass of prune juice. Im also 16 years old and im overweight. Im going to change my habbits and eating! And get more excersise!
It was like 30 minutes after I drank it. I didnt realize it would help that much. I thought it was just a bunch of BS. It like ran right through me. It didnt even have time to go to my bladder lol.

My 24 year old boyfriend went in for a routine physical and ended up receiving surprising news from his doctor after his visit. His doctor told him that his body was rejecting gluten and because their has been so much damage – he needs to start a diet free of gluten, egg, dairy, and beef. If he doesn’t start to follow a diet like this he could end up with something like colon cancer later in life. He was told he might be able to eat something like dairy again if he starts to follow a stricter diet – allowing his body to heal (I think his intestines or something). Does anyone else have this problem or know of someone with similar allergies? This will be a big adjustment for him because the majority of food he eats contain all of these ingredients. I want to be supportive and so please share any tips or advice on how to follow this new lifestyle and diet.

What do you do with whats left? head, intestines, etc. I want to clean my own fish but idk what to do with that stuff.

you went to your fridge and said "Let’s see what we have in the fridge", and the fridge refused to open and said angrily: "It’s Mister Refrigerator for you, for starters, not fridge! Familiarity bred contempt, I see! I demand to be treated with respect, called by my full name and my intestines to be cleaned from the penicillin you are growing inside of me, now!" and spit out a bunch of angry electric sparks?

I put this in the Health-Diseases and Conditions section as well.

Okay, I’ve been reading around and have found a few things saying that meat stays into your intestines for a lot longer than other foods because it is so hard to digest. I have become a vegetarian now for a little over 2 months. About the end of Jan. I started having gas, an upset stomach, cramping and diarrhea. I was told since I was eating for things with fiber in them, and a healthier diet my body was just getting rid of the meat in my system, and cleansing my body. I’m starting to wonder about it now though. I sometimes don’t even feel like I’m about to have a bowel movement, and I do anyways. The movements are not that normal either. They are liquid-like, and have a larger odor that usual.

I don’t know what kinds of foods have a lot of fiber in them to begin with, but even so…is this normal? I mean it has been about two and a half weeks of this. It is not getting any better…I don’t quite understand. Thanks

i just started on monday. I eat 1200 or less calories a day. i feel perfectly full and have not yet ‘secretly’ snacked on food. before each of my four meals, i drink a bottle of water to help me feel full. for breakfast i have about 250 calories such as a scrambled egg, half a bagel thin,and strawberries.
for lunch i have a whole wheat soft tortilla wrap with lettuce,4 slices of mesquite turkey,and a slice of cheese, along with an apple.
i come home at 3 and eat a LeanCuisine ( i know it isnt healthy but im eating them to get used to portions, and its easy to count the calories) so it varies between 210-300 calories.
THEN… i go to the gym around 4:30 and i burn 600 calories everyday using the treadmill or elliptical. AND SINCE, its now spring break i can manage to burn 700-800 calories.
i come home and eat again at 7, and its something healthy my mom makes like grilled chicken and a salad that cannot be more than 400 calories.
ALSO, on sundays my mom and i only drink smoothies she makes with a juice extractor, using apples, carrots,beets,celery,peppers,tomatoes,pa… bananas, mixed combinations ofcourse, and ive done this once so far with her. we had 4 glasses of these smoothies, and she said theyre meant to clean out your intestines, and they did… i really had to use the bathroom.

anyway, my question is if i keep up with the diet and exercise every single day, how long do you think it would take me to weigh 160 pounds if im at 178 and i am 5’7"?

apparently people drink a quart of salt water and it helps clean out there intestines

here are some sites for examples;

^^^ this one has some yucky poop images

my question is, has anyone ever tried this? is it really necessary??? and it says you can use regular sea sat but does it matter if it’s iodized? isnt it possible to get sick from too much salt??

I’m pretty built. Have a decent amount of muscle on me and I just started doing a really good ab workout. I also go to the gym almost every day with breaks.

Now I do have a little bit of a belly on top of my abs that i’m trying to reveal so I’m thinking taking laxatives for a week ONLY just to lower my stomach size and clean out the intestines. (I also have been eating a lot of fruits and veggies b/c I heard that helps)

Question issssss….will it make me loose muscle mass/size in my arms, chest, legs, back, etc?

the diet im on says to do a body cleanse once a week… i like the rest of the diet bc its easy and im seeing results… just not sure about the cleanse…. i have heard a lot about detoxing your body what is that and what does it do and do you suggest it? the "body cleanse" is eating a lot of fiber on saturday to clean out your intestines… this means im going to poop alot huh? great way to spend a saturday!!
its called 8 minutes in the morning.. to a flat belly.. but there are different ones… i can see my tummy getting flatter… and if you like veggies its good you still get to eat what you want and you eat every three hours… which is good for me because i love to snack… i love the "birds eye" veggies the ones that you microwave.. i got a bunch of those and some small meats and thats my meals… really easy!! and snacks you can have small variations of things you love… the exercise takes between 8 and 12 minutes (depending on warm up and cool down.) i have been on it for a week and i feel better and my tummy looks better. Im losing baby fat which i think has been the hardest to lose… my daughter is 9 months and i have been trying different diets for about 6 months and this one has been the best so far!!

What are some products you can buy that clean out your colon and intestines? Thanks

Ive been having so many problems these past so many months. My body retains everything I put into it, food water When I produce a bowel movement its undigested food, I went to the doctors 2 times, one being a specialist and I was in the emergency room, I never have an appetite anymore nor do I ever feel a full sensation when I do eat, I’m not able to go to the doctors till the 28th I don’t know what to do in the mean time I eat so much fiber and drink a lot of water, exercise everyday its like what am I supposed to do? I think my body is starting to become used to it my stomach used to extend out like so far like I was 6 months pregnant from all the impaction and now I still feel the same impaction sensation but it doesn’t extend as far, This is so difficult I get all these pains in my sides and chest and I can’t breath sometimes I thought about going on that master cleanse thing or maybe just water fasting for a while because im running out of options and I cant go to doc till the 28
And my fiber intake is so high, and with the amount of food/fiber I put in its not amounting to how much I should be going to the bathroom. I remember like last week I consumed two 64 oz. bottles of prune juice in a matter of two days and it did like nothing.. and the miraxlax and arthomicin the doctors prescribe are not working.. and its not mental trust me
This isn’t a stupid question.. I just don’t know what to do I’m running out of answers.. I’ve been doing so much research over the past couple months… ughh this is so stressful.. you guys have no idea..
I have been using enemas.. when I was in the emergency room they did an x-ray on my abdominals and everything was so impacted all the way up.. like all my intestines and colon and everything.. they were amazed by it..

Every time, I have dental procedure like deep cleaning, I have a diarrhea. Is it caused by those bacterias generated during the procedure and going to the stomach and intestines?

4. I starve cuz i have no money, and eat tons of veggies at night in the salad

question: is this style bad, i constantly pass gass, and i crap every 2 hours , stomach alwasy feels full. I try to stuff myself alot with salad,,
Thanks to all of you, this really helps. I live on a couch on the dorm, while goign to school full time and runing a business over the phone and back home i will take all the advice i got here, thanks ya’ll

I love the kind of shit sessions where it comes out like a liquid. That means my intestines are clean. I also love the ones where it feels like you cant hold it in any longer and just unleash in the toilet to come ot feeling like you dropped 100 lbs. Though the other people after me might not like what I leave behind. I am not a big fan of flushing after I am done since I want to flaunt my achievement. I would out pictures of my mountain terd but I’m not sure yahoo would appreciate that. Tell me about yours and how you felt. How did you feel?

I’m gonna be having the surgery within 6 months or so but I was just wondering about this. I know that since you’ll be having surgery involving your intestines and stomach, obviously your gonna need to clean your system before hand. I’m actually more nervous about this than the actual procedure. Can anyone tell me your expierience with this?

We have an aging male neutered cat who we adopted as a stray yrs ago. He is a diabetic & gets 2cc insulin twice/day. He also gets a strict diet of Feline DM, which is a canned cat food for diabetics. In Jan he showed noticable weight loss & lethargy & when we took him to the vet his intestines had to be manually cleaned out as he was not fully cleaning out. It cost us about 0. Now he is showing signs of the same problem, even tho he now gets a kitty laxitive. Does anyone know of a home remedy we could try to help him? We are far from rich & cannot afford to spend 0 every couple months to get him cleaned out. Thanks, J&C & Sam(the patient)
