Irritable Bowel Syndrome Treatment

Question by luvtropics: Red streaks of blood in stool – but colonoscopy clear? Help!?
I’m in my early thirties. My doc did a colonoscopy a month ago and it came back clear with no abnormalities. He decided my symptoms of urgent loose stools/diarrhea were likely IBS (irritable bowel syndrome). This past week, I have had A LOT of gas and abdominal pressure, and my bowel movements have been really soft (like wet concrete mix), and today I noticed what looked like two small red streaks of blood in the stool. Nothing when I wiped, and I am not menstruating. I am going in for ultrasound of my abdominal area this week. My mind is at peace with a clear colonoscopy, but I’m very worried. Anyone ever hear of this – any experiences? Thanks for any input you can give

Question by lauren: small, clear, scaly organism in toilet with loose bowel movement – do I have a parasite!?
I have had constipation and bloating issues for a year and a half – my doctors think I have irritable bowel syndrome. After passing a small, loose bowel movement today, I noticed what appeared to be a small, translucent, scaly organism (appeared similar to a mini mini shrimp or something along those lines?) with small antennae in the toilet bowl. This is the first time anything like this has occurred and I am freaked out. I have a doctor’s appointment lined up, but this is grossing me out – do I have some sort of parasitic infection?!

ETA: I did have some yellowish diarrhea the day before yesterday. Have not been out in the sun.

I’m not a doctor but you need to put down the laptop and go to the hospital and take care of that.

Question by Amanda L: can i use an antibiotic to clear a break out?
I think i probably broke out due to a hormone spike, but I’ve never had one this bad. I had an antibiotic prescription of Aclavulanate left from a cat bite and wondered if it would help reduce the break out faster or not? (I don’t get yeast infections from them and i take probiotics with any antibiotic) would that type of antibiotic even help? Nothing topical is working

In health store person said that acne starts from buidl up of toxins in digestive system. told me to take a colon cleanser and it will cure it.
I know you have to take probiotics also, when would u take those?

She is a calico about 11 years old. She has a very weak digestive track and has to eat only good digestive cat food. I was going to try to sprinkle a little probiotics on her food or maybe even try some Activia (if she will eat it) She’s very finiky about food. What is wrong with my Sami??? Help
