How can I relieve my chronic constipation?




Ever since I was born, I’ve always had a chronic constipation problem. I contribute lots of fiber in my diet, lots of fruits and vegetables, grains, whole wheat breads and cereals, I take a mild laxative, and stool softener each morning to help. I also
chew fiber chews as well. I can sometimes go 14 days without a bowel movement, and it’s a very hard, dry stool which is usually quite painful to pass, what can I do that I haven’t already been doing to relieve these symptoms?

I’m just trying to figure out which one I have :P
I’m 13, i’ve had constipation before and i havent had a bowel movement for 2 days now (getting a little worried) i’ve been having gas as well. My tummy hurts, but im pretty confident that is period cramps. My period is active right now, by the way. Thanks to anyone who answers, best answer will be chosen. if you need more info, tell me what and i will add details. Thank you so much!

I have noticed that I have been bloated the past week and it has been harder to have a bowel movement. Will this ease up in time by taking these or is this going to be the side effect. I am taking the Vitamin Shoppe Ultimate "10" Probiotic . Please help and only serious responses. Thanks for advice..

I had a bowel movement this morning, and the toilet was COVERED in bright red blood. I am only 6 weeks pregnant and have never experienced hemorrhoids before. I thought that it was just a little bit of blood when you have hemorrhoids. Also, not severe pain, but a little uncomfortable. Could it be more serious? I have a call into my doctors and have not gotten a call back yet =/

I am bleeding when I have a bowel movement, and I think I have internal hemorrhoids. I’m pretty sure I have to go to the doctor’s and I am TERRIFIED! Can someone let me know what I can expect, like what they are going to do to treat it??

What should I do about chronic hemorrhoids?




I’m only 21 years old, and the last couple of times I had a bowel movement, I have had blood on the tissue paper. I’m assuming this is caused by hemorrhoids. What should I do?

Is my organic herbal colon cleanse working?




I have been taking an organic herbal colon cleanse for about 2wks. Now and the only thing I noticed is increased bowel movements. Nothing major like elimination of built up waste as it promises. The product is called Bromolite and it says it does all these things and I haven’t seen any. I have been eating properly and exercising,which promotes bowel movement and still nothing. Is it too soon? Am I wasting my time and should try something else? Please help! I really want to flush this stuff from my colon.

How long does it take for hemorrhoids to clear?




I have a small hemorrhoid and it isn’t too bothersome, just itchy. I just diagnosed it as a hemorrhoid today so I’ve taken the following precautions-i don’t wipe(i rinse in the shower afterwards), plan to eat more fiber, and I’m using preparation H. Will it take more than a week or 2 to clear up? Also, with preparation H should I apply it after every bowel movement? And last….do most people consider hemorrhoids to be embarrasing like how people consider having diarrhea embarrasing?

colon cancer?




for the past 9 months my stools have had a very tarry texture, are the color of clay, have black specks in them, often times look like i have undigested peanuts in them (wheni have not eaten them)and sometimes are’thin and ribbony’. there was one incedent where i bled profusely after having a bowel movement, and a few times bled but in a lesser amount. i am often fatiqued and out of breath, but i’m not sure if that is just my diabetes. i’m a 30 yr old female. does this sound like colon cancer? i dont have health insurance so im not sure what i shoud do (or what’s going on)
