This is a bit of an embarrassing question, but I don’t know if I am constipated or not. Here are the symptoms:

-I have not gone to the bathroom for almost a week, and when I did go, only little round shaped stools came out.
-When I try to go, it kind of hurts.
-I have to admit, I really need to improve my diet.

I started a new diet and exercise program and have been getting stopped up every since. I thought exercise helped that…. AND I eat a lot of fruits, grains and veggies so I know that isnt my problem

My friend came to me and told me these symptoms and I was wondering what it is.
Symptoms:
Constipation
When they do have a bowel movement it hurts
Bleeding when they have a bowel movement
It seems that it clogs the toilet
Change of breath(Dr.Oz said change of breath could be a sign of some kind of cancer)
She has had a change of diet and excersie
Please tell me if these signs mean anything

If I stick to a diet of only fruit and vegetables.
Drink double the required amount of water per day (16 glasses).
Take a fiber supplement / laxatives.
Do 400 crunches a day.
200 leg lifts (each side).
100 dips.
100 push ups.
100 squats.

And 9 hours of walking / standing at work 3 days a week.
Plus at least an hour of walking on days that I don’t work.

i am looking to increase fiber in my diet and would like to know the best nuts that are rich in dietary fiber to prevent constipation.

I been Constipation for the last 2 weeks and been using latative. I don’t know why but I don’t get the urge to have a bowel movement anymore any reasons you guys can think of to? I been drinking a good amount of water and the last 3 days I been taking fiber tablets and eating healthy. I do stay up all night and sleep during the day but I been doing that for years now so it shouldn’t be that right? I’m ready to go to the doctor if no one can help me. What medical problem could causes this because I honest don’t think its my diet and living habits.I also been having alot more gas then ever. I been having really bad gas but no urge of bowel movement but my mother tells me passing gas is a good sign meaning things are moving but does not seem that way.

I am aware that i need more fibre in my diet, so i did some research.
But the more I researched, the more overwhelmed I am by the information provided to me about insoluble vs. soluble fibre and psyllium husk?

I know that insoluble fibre benefits lean more to promoting regular bowel movement and prevent constipation. Insoluble fiber does not dissolve in water. That’s why it adds bulk to the stools and speeds up the passage of stools through the colon.

I’m afraid have taking to much soluble fibre because it forms a gel when mixed with liquid, and it slows down movement?! I don’t know.

I’m currently looking at fibre supplements and i purchased Benefibre which has Inulin fibre… but i think i’m going to return it for some other dietary fibre supplements like Metamucil which has psyllium husk. Is there a differenece? Any suggestions

Please and thank you,

It has been over a week that I have yet to have a bowl movement. About a week and a half ago, I had a severe case of diarrhea and I resorted in taking some Imodium. After taking my medication, I ceased to have any bowl movements.

I have changed my diet in order to help the situation; I am getting a lot more fiber i.e. Metamucil, but I this did not help. On Tuesday, I decided to take a suppository; I was able to have a bowl movement, however, it was not much. On Wednesday, I decided to take a liquid laxative; I was able to have a couple of bowl movements, but once again it was not much. I don’t know what to do anymore. I was wondering if anyone might have an idea of what is going on with me. Do you think it could possibly be IBS?

Symptoms:
Constipation
Abdominal pain that stings occasionally, especially in the morning
Bloated abdomen
Gaseous

I believe my 2 neons are constipated, because of their diet. Currently I only have flake food. What else should I give to my fishies in my tank to help prevent more constipation?

i don,t think i get enough fiber in my diet. what i want to ask you is what kind of food is high in fiber that,s a good laxative? i know about fruit and vegetables, but what kind of cereal that,s good to loosen the colon? when i do eat meat, what about fish, will it hurt the digestion system? and 1 more thing, what about dairy products? are they good for you? thanks people! have a nice day.

I have given her all the things that usually give her diarhea, but they aren’t even working. Prune juice did not work out with her–she hates it! Nothing has changed in her diet, she drinks plenty of fluids, and is active. I don’t want to scar her by giving her an enema. Any natural remedies (not enemas or laxatives) would be awesome

Her BM problems have been going on for a long time. Unfortunately doctors ask me to be patient until it gets resolved by itself! She’s not been given any medication till date and its heartbreaking to see my little girl strain herself to have to poop. She hold it back as its so hard and painful…for days together! and finally when she does… it comes out with rectal bleeding! It happens every time! I don’t know what to do. I have tried changing her diet, cutting down dairy, changing routine everything I can think of. Can someone please her me!

Figs are an ancient fruit and here are 3 reasons why you should eat some. They are one of the highest plant sources of calcium, they’re rich in the cancer preventing antioxidants, and, because of their high fiber content, make a great laxative. What’s not to like?

My cat has in irregular for the last 3 weeks, going to poop once in 2 days or even 3 days. Prior to this, his long habit was once a day.(He is 8 years old). He has been on wet food only diet since 2 months ago. I also mix water and pumpkin in his wet food.
Still, he doesn’t go regularly. He seems a little inactive than usual although he still has good appetite. His stool is not too hard but shaped in small balls.
Our vet doesn’t worry to much and tells me to observe. The situation is not severe enough to get some treatment like anema but yet it doesn’t improve.
I also give him Laxatone.
Of course, I keep his litter box immaculate.
What is going on with him?

Hello, this is a video on my adventure in taking the 2 day diet pill from japan

Got the idea to take a video of me drinking my milk of magnesia, and it ended in me blabbing about my surgery tomorrow!!!! Im sooooo excited!@

I have recently been diagnosed with postviral gastroparesis. Although I am tolerating the low fat low diet fairly well (oh how I miss fresh veggies and loathe baby food!), I have developed a strong tendency towards constipation. I believe this is due to the "low fiber" part of my diet. I am a little concerned about this because of a strong family history of colon cancer, and fiber is said to help prevent it… What can I eat or take to relieve the constipation?

He has Parkinson disease, diabetes, high cholesterol, and a heart condition. He takes several medications a day including pain pills for his back. I know the pain pills can cause constipation, but not to the extremity of it now. He uses enemas, and laxatives, including sorbitol (for severe constipation) and it seems nothing is helping.He occasionally uses hemorrhoid cream as well. He eats lots of T.V dinners, soups, sausage, and processed meats. His diet is horrible, but he is having trouble cooking for himself. He also sits at home in his chair and watches T.V most of the day and has trouble getting any exercise because of his deteriorating muscles. He is week and nauseous most of the time. I am getting ready to move in with him to care for him and am wondering if there is a certain diet that may help, or if it will require treatment from a physician. We have been to several doctors and all they do is change his medicine around. PLEASE I AM DESPERATE!! He needs help.

I’m 16 and I have frequent constipation. I just recently learned about hemorrhoids and realized I have had them mildly before but I don’t think I have had them as bad as I do now. Although I don’t think I even have them that bad now. I have to small bumps around the rim and they get bigger when I try to go to the bathroom and then I just get paranoid and and not go. With them this small (the size of a dime at their biggest) what kind of treatment should I give? Will they go away on their own? What will happen to them when I poo? They don’t hurt and they don’t feel uncomfortable. They don’t bleed either. I believe I got them from when I last went I pushed too hard and bad diet but I’m already on track to good diet and tons of water + fiber.

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 am on the Atkin’s Diet and I know that when you are on this diet, you get constipated very easily if you’re not careful. I have been trying to drink a glass of juice once in a while to make sure that I’m staying regular and also taking stool softeners. I just wanted to ask… do you think taking stool softeners daily is a bad idea? I read on the bottle to not do it for more than a week unless directed by a doctor and I haven’t been able to see a doctor about this. Or is there another solution? I really can’t drink much juice or muffins or anything like that because of the excessive carbohydrates. Besides plenty of water, anyone have any suggestions? And is taking stool softeners daily okay to do?

I’ve been on a diet for the whole last month & I rarley use the bathroom.
The last time I used the bathroom was 2 weeks a go ..I really hate this question but I have to ask it . What is a treatment for the constipation ?
Please help & thanks .

www.vibrantvegan.com It’s Day 15 of Vibrant Vegan’s 30 Days, 30 Fruits for You Project. The fantastic fruit for Day 15 is the awesome and amazing APRICOT! Let me share with you some trivia tidbits and nutritional information about the Apricot: -Apricots were originally grown in China and have been around for more than 4000 years! -Apricot in Latin means “precious,” which some think it’s because it ripens earlier in the summer than other fruits. -Apricots are a fantastic low calorie, high nutrient food–just 3 apricots contain a total of 50 calories. -Fresh apricots are an excellent source of Vitamins A, C, E, potassium and iron beta-carotene riboflavin (B2) and niacin (B3) calcium phosphorous fiber lycopene -Because of the beta-carotene, apricots may help protect your eyes from macular degeneration. A new study also suggests beta-carotene may help delay brain aging and prevent effects of Alzheimer’s disease. (Getting beta-carotene from foods such as apricots is the way to go since beta-carotene supplements haven’t shown the same benefits as eating the natural fruit.) -2-3 apricots will give you nearly 50% of your daily value of Vitamin A. When apricots are ripe, the Vitamin A content doubles! -Apricots are a good source of lycopene — lycopene has powerful antioxidant properties. Studies show that people who eat a lot of lycopene have a lower risk of developing heart disease and may have a lowered risk of certain types of cancer. -Both the beta-carotene and lycopene help …

i have checked with 2 doctors. treatment has to be done after pregnancy and in the meantime i was told to eat lots of fibre, vegetables, fruits and drink fluids so that my stools are soft. I was also told to use suppositries, but I didn’t because I am scared. I managed to get my stools soft with diet. Please if any pregnant women has the same problem and can help me about some information, if i should worry or not? Thanks in advance.

Hospitals used to give colonics before operations. They found it healed the patient and reduced profits. So hospitals ignored this remedy so they could keep raking in the dough! Nevertheless, you can learn from the facts and positive results of the past! Avoid being an AMA cash cow! Keeping your colon clean will heal your body! Hydrate, eat fruit and veggies, avoid processed foods, increase things that make you happy in life, reduce stress and breath deep often!
