Colon Problem

I have a colon problem, and I have notice my stamach is getting bigger. Is there any way of getting my weight in order again?

Yes. There are many reasons why your stomach would be getting bigger due to a colon problem. "Diverticulitis, Celiac Disease, Hiatal Hernia, etc. etc. Or you can simply be lactose intollerant or allergic to dairy. Try cutting out all dairy and egg products. I lost 5 pounds in two weeks by doing that. Good Luck.

How Your Body Works 2, Colon Health Radhia talks about problems with colon health including IBS, constipation, bad gas, bowel movement problems ...

ok for the past few months my bowels have changed from diarrea to constipation (im 18) and all i can think is COLON CANCER i also have lower left abdominal pain that is not all the time usually after meals and decreased appetite i went to the doctor and asked for a colonoscopy but he declined saying thats this was all in my head but what if hes wrong. i also have been noticing lately that when i go to the bathroom and i finish crapping that when i wipe theres hardly any crap stains on the toilet paper is this normal?
i also had a fecul occult blood test done 2 or 3 months ago cause my stoll was tar like black but it came back fine it was prob because of the peto i was taking

First, if it was colon cancer your doctor would have been suspicious and tested you from the start, so relax in that respect. Maybe you have irritable bowel syndrome. Your symptoms sound like it. Increase the fiber in your diet. That should help. Increase your fluids. Finally, schedule another appointment with your doctor if none of the above works after doing it for a couple of weeks. All of this could be related to stress.

I have a friend who is not able to go to the bathroom with taking a laxative. It is very painful for her, what can she do?

Please, don't put her health in the hands of an amateur forum. Respect her mind and body. She must consult her doctor. (I am a physician myself and this is the best advice I can possibly give you.)

I'm having a problem with the muscles in my bowels. I can't go to the bathroom regularly and BMs are really small. The only thing I can do to get it all out is take laxatives, although I avoid them as much as possible. But really they are the only things that do the trick. Other wise i only go to the bathroom once every 3-4 days and its very small usually.

My skins breaking out cause of this, but i don't know which is worse causing damage to my body with the laxatives or having all these bloating and toxins in my body?? is there anything a doctor can give me to help without sticking something up my butt cause that just seems ridiculous. i already know whats wrong with me. thanks
i eat more fiber than anyone else but it doesnt do anything

y need to talk to gastroenterlogy dr/describe symptoms/possibly colonoscopy/that will give y 100%diagnosis of condition/good luck/

Some doctors think that irritable bowel syndrome ( also known as spastic colon ) may be second only to common cold as America's most widespread medical complaint. And your doctor now says that irritable bowel syndrome (IBS ) is the source of your complaint.Well,rest assured that there are lot of things you can do to take the irritability out of your bowel.
Take the news in stride. " There's a very good connection between stress and an irritable bowel" says Douglas A Drossman,M.D., a gastroenterologist and psychiatrist at the University of Northern Corolina at Chapel Hill School of Medicine. What you don't want to do is get stressed because you have an irritable bowel,and because you have an irritable bowel,and thereby create a "vicious cycle",he says.Especially during flare-ups of abdominal pain,it is important to "take a deep breath.Think about what's happening. Recognize that it's happened before and it will pass.Know that you're not going to die - becouse people don't die from an irritable bowel" he says.
Become a more relaxed person. Anything you do can do to help yourself unwind should help to alleviate your symptoms,says Dr.Drossman. You may benifit from relaxation techniques,such as medication,self - hypnosis,or biofeedback. If the stress in your life is particularly problematic,you may want to consider psychological counseling. The key is to find what works for you.
Keep a stress diary.
Log in your food and beverages intake too.
Add fiber to your diet.
Call psyllium seed to the rescue,an easy way to increase the fiber intake in your food.
Drink lots of fluid to keep your bowels moving smoothly,you need not only fiber,but fluids as well.
Reconsider your dairy products.
Cut out the fat.
Pass on the gas - avoid flatulence champs as beans,cabbage,brussels sprouts,cauliflower,and onions.
Go easy on bran.
Beware of spicy foods.
Be careful of acids.
Don't brew trouble with coffee.
Know that some alcoholic beverages are worse than others.
Put out the cigarette.
Avoid nicotine gum.
Eat regular meals.
Go for a jog.
Try a pain killer
Try putting a hot water bag on your tummy,says Dr.Snape.
( Hope these tips will cure you )
