I was wondering if you had a really severe infection of pinworms can it cause diarrhea and abdominal pain? Some websites claim this is a symptom of severe infection. If so would you be able to see them in your stool? I ask because I have severe anal itching that gets worse after a bowel movement that comes and goes but its been a chronic problem for several months now.

for the last while i have been cramping up when i have feel the need to have a bowel movement sometimes i am a little constipated, but last night my husband vomited once and that was it i woke up this morning with the urge to make a bowel movement and i went and then a little while ago it was almost like there was clear mucous and soft, what could this be? diarrhea??

My son has been having stomach problems since April. He had been to the same hospital several times for the problem. 3 times by squad. The pain was unbarable. He had the same tests done everytime. He had CAT scans, x-rays, colonoscopy, you name it he had it. They have treated him for irritable bowel syndrom, spastic colon, H-pylori, even thought he had chrons decease. The last visit to the hospital they said he had a blockage and they were just not going to feed him until it worked itself out. The pain was untolarable. He was also sepsis. They decided to cut back on his pain medicines to help him have a bowel movement. Nothing happened. He was just in horrible pain. After laying there for 13 days, no food, dying of pain they decided to do exploritory surgery. When they got in there he had a ruptured meckel’s diverticulium and a paracolic abscess. I been told that if the abscess would have busted he would have died. He was already really sick. Is this a malpractice case?
Let me add also, my son is 23 and now has an temp. ileostomy and had to have a very large open would due to the fact there was so much infection they could not even close the wound. Halfway through his hospital stay he had a horrible nurse that got his medicince changed. They gave him a anxity medicine that made him so delusional he checked himself out of the hospital he he was so sick and out of it they found him naked on the bathroom floor in the emergency room. He was readmitted to a different floor.

I have been very prepared to get my first colonoscopy over with this morning. However, I began the mandatory colon cleansing around 6 pm last night and experienced no bowel movement whatsoever. I followed the MoviPrep instructions exactly and absolutely nothing. I poop all the time (diarrhea) and then they tell me to down some heavy duty laxative that tastes like salt and this doesn’t make me go! What the hell is going on?

Prior to a colonoscopy, laxatives are given to completely empty the colon. So, after the procedure, does it sometimes happen that it takes a few days to have a bowel movement?

I woke in the middle of the night last night with abdominal cramps that felt just like waves of bad diarrhea cramps. However, I did not have a bowel movement or any diarrhea. I layed down and eventually fell back to sleep and woke up in the morning with the pain gone. I am almost 40 weeks pregnant. Can this be a sign that labor is near?

What would cause someone to have upper right abdominal pain, bright yellow liquid stool that he complains of burning very bad when it’s passed, nausea, no vomiting, and a low-grade fever? We cannot get a hold of his doctor to find out if this is serious.
He had his appendix out already, this is an older man, not a kid. He’s not really having a bowel movement, just this liquid yellow stuff, but he’s having that fairly often.
He also had his gallbladder removed.

The pains vary from in different areas. I really haven’t had a decent bowel movement either during this time. My mom has spastic colon. Is it possiible I have a little of spastic colon as well? I have also been a little stressed lately, could that be a cause of it as well? The pains come and go, they are not constant. I feel blocked up a little in regards to goign to bathroom. I still have an appetite, and eat like I normally do, but my stomach just feels yucky all the time now. Just kind of curious

My to-be sister-in-law claims that she has intestinal problems and cannot remember ever having a solid bowel movement. She is always in the bathroom and claims she does not know the cause. My concern is that she is abusing laxatives. She has always been very thin and is now 8 months pregnant and has still not gained the recommended weight. My main question is, "Is there any medical problems/disorders that would cause this that is not an eating disorder? and if there was, wouldn’t a doctor treat it and solve the problem???

I almost constantly battle with a lot of abdominal pain, gas and bloating. Nearly every time I use the restroom I have a bowel movement or feel like I need to. On and off for the past few years I’ll have a week or more where I just feel sick to my stomach every time I eat. I have a lot of anxiety problems and I don’t know if it’s the cause but it definitely makes my anxiety worse during these times.
