I take a lot of meds which cause constipation. I’ve tied over the counter fiber drinks, fruit & vegtables, cereal but I am not going regularly. I’ve ask my doc who suggested the above. Is there anything out there that can do the job? Thank You

I am 34 weeks, and yesterday I woke up and was having contractions with very painful rectal pressure during them. I had a doctors appointment yesterday and told him and her was going to check me, but found something down there and didn’t want to check me, incase it could cause in infection. So he wrote me a prescribtion for some meds. that I have to take til I deliever. Well I continued to have the rectal pain all day yesterday. When I got home form the doctor, I took two stool softners, to see if that was the problem, well about 9:30 last night I was in the bathroom. I got up this morning and I still have the pain, when it comes on, I can’t still on my butt or if I am standing, I double over in pain and can’t walk. I have tryed to go to the bathroom but nothing comes out (sorry if TMI)

What do ya’ll think is going on…is it just a very bad case of constapation or what? This is my 3rd child but was induced early with those at 35 weeks, and never had this til it was time to push!

I am being about to have a colonoscopy and endoscopy the 29th this month to figure out whether i have crohn’s or irritable bowel syndrome. I wanted to know…does irritable bowel syndrome cause diarrhea? How to i stop it naturally preferably no meds) Is there anything i can eat to stop it?
whatcan i eat that will stop diarrhea? I have been to a doctor…many times…they sent me to a specialist and he sceduled my procedure. What can i do to lower my symptoms?

My son has been constipated since birth and I have taken him to many doctor’s and now he is seeing a Gastro doctor and she is having me do the bowel cleansing process "with the meds like magnesium citrate and senna C tablets" and she wants to do this for a year and it doesnt seem to help, what else can i do for him? he is always sick to his stomach, can hardly ever have a regular bowel movement, he misses alot of school because of this. he wont eat alot because his stomach always hurts, I have changed his diet to include alot of fiber, veggies, fruits, etc… nothing seems to help. he has been in the ER numerous times for this. what can i do for my son so he can live a normal life??? please help us.
thank you
AJ
NO this doctor wont listen to me and look at anything she said that the only problem is that we need to get his colon to shrink???? she just thinks that I am stupid or something. Yes i have tried prune juice and everything else I can think of. Thank you all for you advice and answers. god bless all of you.

43/yr old/f. had gastric bypass 3/04 lost 134 lbs, done great for 2 yrs. May 2006 I had unbearable rectal pain, unexplained at that, went to the doc, had internal Hemi’s, Had surgery – didn’t help, had G/B removed didn’t help, Colonoscopy Dx’ed with IBS…placed on Librax, didn’t help..these are my sympotms:
each a.m I have usually (since GBP) 2-3 loose BM’s each morning. right after I start having rectal burning to the point now that I stay nauseated. Thru the day I will have productive gas, (pass a small amount of stool with gas) and I can have up to 6-10 BM’s a day but feel the constant need to eliminate with PAIN and BURNING. I use all the OTC meds but they don’t help, sitz baths only ease the pain. every Friday SX are severe . YES I work in a very high stress job. I run a medical office and have a huge amount of responsibility.
This condition has chg’ed my life…..
yahoo won’t let me add my new addy: medtech1@suddenlink.net PLEASE if anyone out there can help

I need to lose a few pounds and I’ve eaten all the low fat dinners like Healthy Choice, Lean Cuisine etc…I have a spastic colon which is being controlled by meds. Yet, those dinners kill me and hurt my stomach. Any suggestions?

Has anyone else got the two together? I sometimes cant go to the toilet for days. Now Ive just recently started taking medication for the Ulcerative colitis but it seems to only make things worse. The other night I had constant stomach ache but didn’t go to the toilet. Now when I eat I simply feel sick. I have been to the toilet but just a bit each time. What should I do. The doc said I should just caryr on on the meds and everything should get better but this is painful

I was concidering using one to flush out my system real good and possibly drop a few pounds. Does anyone know of a good, safe, inexpencive colon cleanser? I take some perscription medicines and I was also concerned about the flush washing my meds out of my system.

Are there any good home remedies for Irritable Bowel Syndrome? What about RX meds? Thanx

A co worker is advocating a colon cleansing system, drnatura.com, and says that he no longer takes any meds, and even stopped taking insulin shots. Colon cleansing etc, scam or real?

I was wondering, is there a safe supplement I can take to do a home colon cleansing that I can get from GNC, Vitamin Shoppe, etc (or a local health store in Orange County, CA)? I don’t want to order any product over the internet. Also, how long does it usually take to work? Can I do it all in one day? Because I am on meds that I have to take everyday, and I’m sure it would flush the meds out of my system, but if I could do it in the morning anad take my meds by night it should be fine. I don’t want to have a colon irrigation procedure, so I’m looking for a safe home alternative. Thanks!!
