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?

So i have been constipated for about two weeks now, and about a month ago i had a bad case of diarrhea. Throughout these two weeks i have been getting these symptoms: clear mucus out of my rectum, pain in my stomach(usually with bowel movement), and hard small stools. When i started using laxatives my stool started coming not as wide as before. i know i should probably see a doctor for this question, but im thinking it is just constipation, and i should simply just change my diet.

my question is, is it possible i have colon cancer?

I was 121.2 and 5’4, female, and I broke my diet for dinner and I have school tomorrow and I’m afaird I’m going to be all bloated and fat on my stomach and face for tomorrow, what to do? (

I have colon cleanse, should I do that?

ate big deal with lots of starch and had rich ice cream

I’m currently 27 hours in to a water fast (my doctor is aware of it so please no negative comments on how this is bad for my health), 3 days is perfectly healthy, i took the liberty of discussing it with a health care professional!
I’m not having a bowel movement however, and was wondering if Epsom salt mixed with water or sea salt is better to use as a natural laxative to help speed things along? Also will this upset my stomach as I haven’t eaten solid food in 27 hours? I see that you start each morning with sea salt and water on the master cleanse, which is a fast you also don’t eat on, so i’m thinking it would be fine.
If you have any experience or knowledge about this i would really appreciate it, 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?

what can i eat/drink to help my bowels clean out because my mom told me that if your bowels don’t move so well it can show on your stomach under your belly fat

1. Does this mean, my intestines are going through a cleaning?
2. Most i eat is , alot of brockly , romain letucce, pepers, french dressing
3. My crap looks Really dark, and it looks like " Lettuce mixed in with crap )
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 am a 29 year old overweight male. I’ve always had the ability to have a healthy, good sized bathroom break. For about the last week or so, I’ve been eating normally, but I’ve only really had explosive diarrhea, or watery bowel movements with a little bit of soft feces, and a liquid floating on top. The last time I tried to go I ended up passing a small piece of what looked like those sales pictures you see for colon cleanse products. It looked like tripe (cow stomach) you see on the grocery store shelves. I haven’t had the urge to go at all in the past 2 days, but I made myself try to a few minutes ago. After straining almost to the point of passing out, I passed a small, hard grey/green colored clay-like stool.

I’m worried I may be developing, or already have a bowel obstruction, and the diarrhea is squeezing past that. From what I’ve read it could also be IBS (which I am not diagnosed with yet). I am able to pass gas (and a lot of it), but that seems to be all I’m passing lately. Should I worry? To go from one extreme (diarrhea) to the other (severe constipation) doesn’t seem right.

I also have mild stinging pains radiating around my stomach, similar to what I would have before/after having a bout of diarrhea, but nothing seems to want to come out.
I’m freaking out about this and cant even sleep or calm down, so any help would be appreciated. I will call a doctor when they open but until then, I’ll be worrying my butt off.

If i drink a bottle of beer after every meal will it clean out my stomach and intestines..?

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?

how to get a capsule to pass through the stomach unharmed but in the small intestine dissolve?

what material should be used ?
and how would i test it

I had a bloody stool recently – it was not covered in blood and it was hard to get out if you know what I mean… but this is the first time I’ve ever had maroon streaks on one of my stools. Would a true bloody stool have a lot of blood, like would it be noticeably red and blood filled? Or could it just have streaks? I’ve been having stomach/chest pains lately and I think they’re related to GERD or a hiatal hernia. I also have been taking pepcid for the past two days. I’m 21 (just turned) in good shape… how likely is it that I would have colorectal cancer?

If the stomach or transverse colon were
to rupture, the contents would leak into the peritoneal cavity and
possibly contaminate the entire abdominal cavity.
Which organs would be affected by this peritonitis?

why do your stomach and your small intestine have a different pH?

I’m noticing more and more fellow females around me having great bouts of excruciating stomach aches, and being diagnosed with either IBS or Endometriosis, and being prescribed birth pills, peppermint oil pills, etc. All just like me. So I wanted to know if this is a big growing epidemic around other communities…

Yesterday morning I was having a sharp pain in my side, (I did not change anything in an athletic manner or any other manner) and it gradually sharpened through the day. Around 8 hours later the pain became prominent when i would walk or laugh. around nine hours later, i began feeling slightly noxious and warm. I did not have a high fever.. Today (over 24 hours later), when pressure is applied i still have the sharp pain in my lower right side, it has become slightly more dull and radiating, but I have a generalized pain that I can only assossiate with nasea in my stomach. the pain is still mainly prominent about 2 inches to the right of my belly button. I can eat but I am not particularly hungry. And through the night I was plagued by two cases of diharrea. I am still feeling warm but do not have a high fever (again no more than one degree). I am 16 and athletic if that would have any affect on an answer. Should I go to the hospital or wait it out and see if it lessens?

ps. i workout everyday and eat healthy, im just trying to lose some extra pounds and make my stomach flatter and such

She has worn her fur totally bare/bald on her back legs and stomach and tail. When she isn’t cleaning herself, she is ‘licking’ cardboard boxes. I was thinking that she might have something irritating her ‘inside’ her intestines or something…or has she gone crazy? I would be so grateful for any advice, experience, or suggestions to help me figure out how serious it may be. We are in the middle of moving…I just don’t have the time/$ to deal with the vet ….unless…HELP!!

I eat/drink a homemade slushie most every night and just wondering if the temp of my stomach is high enough that it melts the ice before dumping into my small bowel. I’ve recently had gastric bypass, so I have a very small pouch for a stomach and I don’t want to stretch it. I’ve talked to surgeon about it and they say it’s fine. I’m just not sure. Thanks for your input.

For the past three months ive been having rectal bleeding but not so bad..

this week tho.. has been so terrible! and now im having pain!
this week i woke up with pain and shrugged it off cause i thought it was menstural..

I had menstural too. but after putting in a tampon i noiticed Blood was pouring from my anus. Not just my menstural.
It was so much blood i passed out.

My menstural stopped.. but im still bleeding.. on and offf from my anus. I feel soo uncomfortable in my stomach.. Sore feeling.. in my abdomen near my belly button left and right.
I leak blood Even when i have no need to use the washroom,,

Now i have extream back pain on my right side hip bone? or the center bone lower back but on the right side. its a burning pain.

Could this be cancer or hemmroids?
im only 17 and a girl :S

3 days ago i got this, and again 2 says ago and now today, basically i am sleeping on the right side, and then wake up because my stomach hurts ALOT, and it feels like gas, but the pressure keeps building, to the point it becomes a great disconfert to stand.
the ONLY way to make it better is to go to the bathroom, take a dump, which doesnt help yet, but adter another 2 min, diareah comes, and then another 1 min goes by, i start passing gass finaly

now im worried what i should do, dont want this happening again, was thinking about trying to eat better and something, so then i can go to the washrooom more often and clean my intestine a little bit? or maybe something else? like just medicine?

i value your input, right now im lieing down on the right side, with only a little pressure in my stomach, but i cant pass gas! it would make it all better, but i cant

I am 40wks & 5days with first baby. Confused on if I am going into labor.

Right now I feel constant pelvic/rectal pressure, almost unbearable, like baby is pushing down. Everytime the baby moves I get such a sharp pain in my lower stomach.Yesterday doc said it was only because I am engaged and having a large baby.

I am aching, like the worst menstrual cramps. Just started to get bad lower back pain this morning. No discharge. I also feel what I believe are contractions maybe only every 40 minutes. So confused. Is this early labor? Should I wait till they are 5 minutes apart? Should I go to the hospital now?
