I am a female who is 5’4 and 130 lbs. I go to the gym regularly and have a healthy lifestyle and eating habits. Due to the fact that I am short and have muscular parents I have big arms (bulky) and large calf’s and tights (bulky) though not fat. It just runs in my family… But I am really trying to figure out how to lose about 10-15lbs without bulking up. I regularly run and do elliptical and take some Pilate’s classes… but still I tend to bulk… I admit I could still do more working out but I do go regularly…

that being said I am on the medicine Accutane for acne and am in my 2nd month and loving the results. Obviously there are a lot of bad things going around about the medicine and that is why I am curious…

Would it be bad to mix the Acai Berry and possibly a Colon Cleanse system with the Accutane? I do not want to upset my body… but I do want to lose weight without bulking up like I tend to do. I am also curious if these products are natural like they say or if they have a lot of chemicals? For I don’t like to put to many chemicals and crazy things into my body.. I don’t even take Tylenol unless I am in dire pain.

I would be open to hear other suggestions but I am not looking to get into any extreme diet due to the fact that I already eat pretty healthy…

So overall I guess my question is How do I lose 10-15 lbs and slim down and NOT bulk up!

Thanks!

Male 52 Yrs. old with pain in lower back and right shoulder and arm. Have had pain for 1 month and am taking lots of Tylenol. Even high doses of Sodium Naproxen that the Doctor prescribed would not kill the pain. The Tylenol works for a short time than wears off, but seems to work better than the Sodium Naproxen. Man was in hospital for emergency rectal abcess, and had to have two incisions made on rectum to drain the infection. Man received an antibiotic called Keflex, and 2 bags of very strong Antibiotic diluted in IV. Now man is bleeding from rectum and has a yeast infection on the scrotum. Man has no Health Insurance and does not know what to do. Man has become extremely depressed. Please Help him!!!

I think i may have overdosed on tylenol a few weeks ago. I took a lot, but wasnt paying attention so to how much so im not sure how much it was. I threw up a few hours later. My stomach really hurt, especially the left side. Anyways, i think im still having some problems, but it feels better. I just feel really gassy a lot of the time though, and my stomach hurts more or less depending on what i eat. Ive been eating healthy mostly now though. But, the left side of my stomach area feels really sore sometimes. I checked a body diagram and found that the parts that hurt are located around the liver and ascending colon area. But im really not sure if the pain is inside my body or if maybe just some muscle or something is sore. I plan on going to the doctor, but im just concerned on whether or not it would be something serious or not??
oh goodness sorry i meant the right side, i always say left side…i have no idea why…

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.

If I take Aleve or Tylenol for pain or in a cold preparation, especially on an empty stomach, I experience bleeding(bright red) blood through my rectum. If I stop, or only take one dose a day, it will go away in about 3 days. Then no problems until the next time I take it.
What could this be?

I think I am having a colitis flare-up. I haven’t had a colonoscopy yet, but I have rectal bleeding.
I know that I should stay AWAY from ibuprofen (Advil) and probably should also stay away from aspirin.
Is it safe to take paracetamol/acetaminophen (Tylenol)?

think all I have is some bad gas…but I just want to be sure. I have never experienced this kind of pain and pressure before. It started last night. I started to feel like I needed to go #2…I was watching a movie so I put it off. then I started feeling worse very quickly. My lower stomach was cramping…like in my uterus area. I had a lot of lower back pain with rectal pressure. So I went to the bathroom and did go #2, but the pain just got worse as I went. The pressure started to turn into sharp pains. I stayed on the toilet thinking I still needed to go…but I didn’t. Eventually I gave up and stumbled to my couch. The pain was really bad. I couldn’t do anything but lay on my couch and squirm. I was sweating and feeling nausea and light headed. I finally felt ok enough that I didn’t think I’d pass out and I got up and took 2 Tylenol. Then I collapsed back on my couch for about 4 hours. It hurt all night long but not as bad as it was. I am still having lower stomach and back pain and rectal pressure. And the pain intensifies when I go to the bathroom. There is no blood or anything like that.

Is that just gas or something worse?

Thanks

I had anal intercourse with my chick last week and now, 5 days later, she is still experiencing sever rectal pain. She happens to be allergic to Aspirin, Tylenol, and Motrin so is there any way to help ease her pain naturally?

I started doing a colon detox this morning. I drank the drink and took one of the morning pills and was fine all day. I just took the 2nd pill dose and all of a sudden had a hot flash throughout my entire body. I also took 2 tylenol for my headache and a benadryl to help me sleep. My head hurts and I feel tingly all over! I am scared! I’ve just moved to a new state. I’m home alone with my son and I don’t know any of my neighbors! My fiance is out of town! I’ve had anxiety attacks in the past but this feels different. My whole neck and shoulders and down my arms tingle…. what should I do?
Believe me this is the last time I use this stuff. I feel much better now!

I believe after research online that I have IBS. The symptoms started out as going back and forth with very soft to hard stools. Also extreme rectal burning pain that comes and goes. It is so bad sometimes I had started taking motrin, tylenol or Excedrin. I also noticed I have a small bump the size of a bebe on my rectum. Sometimes it feels like I have a cut down there and if urine hits it I want to scream it burns so bad. Lately I have been constipated and not going regularly. I have tried Preparation H but it doesn’t work at all. I don’t think I have hemorrhoids since it isn’t swollen…just the bebe size bump and feeling like a cut sometimes. Up until recently, I have never had issues with constipation and went regularly 3-4 times a day. when I wear nylons since they tighten everything up, I notice I have more problems with the pain. It isn’t non stop, but when it’s really bad I take the over the counter pain medicine that helps relieve it. I don’t have medical insurance so I can’t go to the dr. I think this pretty much covers most of it. This is obviously very embarrassing to talk about, but it is very painful sometimes and I don’t know what to do about it. Any help anyone can provide me would be so much appreciated. thank you so much!
