Alright so I have a messed up bowel movements. I can go anywhere from 10 to probably 14+ plus without one. I’ll feel completely too, like not sick or have stomach pains/cramps. In fact I’ll feel just fine. I’ve been complaining to my doctor about the for years. I’ve tried Miralax, metamucil, tons of water, yogurt, all that jazz. Also this is over two years not two weeks, so I’ve stuck with these things for a while, not just one day it doesn’t work so I’m quitting. So now my doctor says I just have slow digestive system/bowels bummer deal with it. I mean I do believe her but. . .

When I finally do have to go, it’s really bad as you could imagine for someone who hasn’t gone to the bathroom in that period of time. I’d say on average it’s like two hours on the toilet. D: And it’s worse because before the cramps set in, I start to get really hot, like sweaty. Then I sometimes get colder. Then I get intense cramps, and then diarrhea. Sometimes, I’ll get the cramps but become constipated for an hour or so. Ugh, and when I actually go go, my heart is like racing or beating fairly fast (I have low blood pressure FYI) I’ll be really hot, then really cold. 

Basically, I’ve never had normal movements. But it’s gotten really bad since seventh grade (now in ninth). Seriously, it disrupts my social life and school. Not to mention embrassment.

The only things that have ever forced me to go where milk of magnesium and that thing people take before colonoscopy but I still got the cramps, fast heartbeat, the whole package.

I’ve never been tested but I don’t have Chrons (sp.?) or imflamatory bowel or the other stuff that comes up on WebMD because the symptoms don’t fit.
If it’s revelant, I can also never lose weight. I’m fairly skinny, but I’ll never lose fat from exercising. I’m never really hungry or thirsty either. Usually, I can go a whole day without eating till seven and still not be hungry. (no I don’t have an eating disorder, I fasted for Lent last year.)

I would have this severe to mild pain in the upper abdomen most likely because of indigestion. I would have a hard time with the pain until I pass stools then I’m fine. Could there be something wrong?

i dont get it and is bothersome i get symptoms like change in bowels. constipation and straining of bowels. pain in groin and abdomen at times. feeling of urgency to urinate and no pain when urinating or releasing bowel but the feeling of my bowels or bladder isnt always empty? i do have anxiety disorder and doesnt help the fact cause me more worries i constantly think i have bladder or colon cancer. im 28 male and these symptoms only happen when im sitting in chair or laying in bed and im relaxed. i do sit in chair with bad posture as well just trying to pinpoint what to do doctor said everything was ok he did blood test and urine test 2 months ago.

I have an anxiety disorder and I’m heading into the hospital tomorrow to confirm that. Lately I’ve been having change in my bowel movements for the past week and the stool is of dark green/brownish color. Just today I’ve been feeling tired and woozi after bowel movements.
Any idea if it’s connected with my anxiety problem?

I’m doing a new diet but I’m not comfortable with taking any pills (colon cleansing supplements). I want to do this the more natural way. I’m aware of prunes but what else could I eat.

I have severe anxiety and my panic disorder is terrible.I can’t have caffine because it’ll give me a panic attack. I drink V8 Fruit and Vegtable juice because it taste good and gives you energy. But ever since I started making it the one drink I consume I have been having Diarhea. But when I only drink capri sun, it’s fine. So does drinking V8 give you the embarassing issue I have (Diarhea). Be mature when you answer.

I’ve been having some stomach and bowel problems in the last week.I noticed red bright blood and mucus on my stool and I’ve been having stomach pain when I eat and heartburn (I always suffered from heartburn).I also had diarrhea but it was only three times in two days and then it stopped.For the past week and a few days I’ve been only eating soup,some fruit (pears) and drinking water.I’ve been feeling a little bit better but I’m really constipated and I only have an appointment with my doctor on the next week.I’ve been researching a lot about stomach and bowel problems and I’ve been reading about Irritable Bowel Syndrome because I suffer from a chronic bladder inflammation and I read that people with this bladder disorder can also get Irritable Bowel Syndrome though I never had any major bowel problems and I always ate all types of food without getting sick.I learned that gluten and milk can be a trigger to many bowel problems and I decided to avoid it at least while I’m sick.My question is,are gluten free cookies ok?They’re plain vanilla cookies with no special aditives…And what about other types of milk and cereal,like soy milk and gluten free cereal,are these ones ok too??I love to have a bowl of cereal every morning and I want to try soy milk with some gluten free cereal but I’m afraid to get worse:(

So the doctors say I have a bowel syndrome or constipation..but is it even possible to have constipation for 4 years? So if you don’t know what bowel syndrome is..its a disorder that affects the colon. It normally causes diarrhea, bloating and constipation. It’s horrible..I’m in a lot of pain because of it..I’m home schooled because of it. The doctors and my mom say its all in my head and that it’s my fault I’m in pain..I know that stress and stuff can cause this..but it’s not my fault I’m stressed out. So is there anything I can do to fix this?? I hate it so much..If I go to church it hurts like crazy..and when I would go to school it would hurt really bad too. So I don’t go to church anymore and I can’t go to high school.

I have been having bowel problems for over a year , pain, constipation , lactose intolerance, the feel that i have’t completely finished. bowel movements that have been very small and sticky.

It all seemed to start in January 2011 I had horrible abdominal pains and was severely constipated..since then it has been downhill,Slowly getting worse. Sometimes going a week before bowel movement. The symptoms sometimes change . I typically never have very dry bowel movements, I did in the earlier months.

Now the thing is From Sept -DEC 2011 I was giving many different doses of antibiotics……I was having irritation in my urethra that they kept saying was a urinary tract infection but just at the time wouldn’t go away….SO
I received 10/5/2010 – (10) Levofloxacin 500mg
10/26/10 – (10) Ciprofloxacin 500mg
11/9/10 – (4) Azithromycin 250 mg
12/6/10- (10) Levofloxacin 500mg
12/21/10- (20) Doxycycline Hyclate 100mg

Now i know maybe it;s a coincidence because the bacteria in your intestines are suppose to eventually come back. But I just find that weird. I have a colonoscopy coming up in a week .. But I’m trying to get info about if its anything I can take or has anyone ever heard of antibiotics causing these kind of problems long term.

Yeast overgrowth?
