Irritable Bowel Syndrome Treatment

Question by : I can’t poop well, I’m desperate!!!?
Around 3 weeks ago I made some brownies and did eat a lot of them, like 10, just after eating them i felt my stomach weird, I could feel the hard mass by pressing a little my stomach. I couldn’t get to poop for 3 days and I felt the hard mass all the way through my intestines by touch, just some days after that I started feeling bad again and I took milk of magnesia and it worked perfectly I had like a week or two without symptoms. Then again I started with some problems, my stool turned very thin a couple of times and then after that I could just poop very little and narrow pieces of stool, I went to the doctor and told him i thought it could be a fecal impaction, he prescribed me microlax and Pinaverium, it didn’t work. I still have the feeling that I have some stuck mass in my bowels but that’s not for sure, because before having the problem I took senosides for a long time, sometimes exceeding the dose and even the first days with the problem I took another overdose of senosides. But I’m really not sure what could it be and I’m desperate, the worst part is the lower back pain it makes me desperate, I also have had a lot of gas. Could somebody tell me what could it be, I don’t know if it’s Colon Cancer, Irritable Bowel Syndrome, Fecal Impaction, Hemorroids, Polyp. This is really terrible and I don’t have money right now for another doctor.

Have you considered doing a colon cleanse? It should clear up most problems. The Master Cleanse is an easy and cheap one, but you don’t need to do it for very long if you just want to clear your bowels. A day or two should work. After the cleanse, make sure to eat enough fiber, drink lots of water and get enough magnesium in your diet (use supplements if you have to). Another great thing to try is physillium husks. It’s like instant fiber and will push any blockages out of the way. Just make sure to drink lots of water with it. Also make sure to take probiotics or eat lots of yogurt, especially after doing a cleanse

Question by : Dull pain on left side when I try to poop?
It’s to the left of my bellybutton, and started about two weeks ago. I haven’t pooped in about 5 days. Mostly I just get cramps, or I feel like I have gas but I don’t, but now when I try to poop it hurts, kind of? On a scale of 1-10 it’d only be a 2. I’m only 15, so the chance of it being cancer is pretty low, right? Is it irritable bowel syndrome, or something else?

Probably constipation. Buy Miralax, it will flush everything out.

Question by 2010 FYRE & REIGN: I have 3 dogs, they all eat the same foods but one’s poop smells FAR worse than the other 2 dogs; why?
It seems like a weird thing but since I’m the one doing poop duty in the yard, I know. He otherwise seems VERY healthy. Should I get him some probiotics or something? Or is it just something I need to live with?

Dogs are individuals. Each dog may respond differently. I’ve heard of many cases where each dog had their own food. You may want to consider changing his diet, he may have a sensitive stomach or it could be the age. Or it could be possible he’s taking in more foreign objects that you may not see.

Answer by SethSpeaks
None of those are the reason why. It isn’t sickness. You drank or ate something with purple or red food coloring. Grape juice will do it… Hi C, some popcicles and that kind of thing.

Question by Patrick: What are the chances that holding pee or poop in can cause permanent damage?
I have irritable bowel syndrome diarrhea and am wondering if this can be attributed to my holding it in. I only held my pee in a handful of times and held diarrhea in once.

Answer by bunbunner2
You would have to have constanly held it in to have caused that much damage. Like all your life.
