I would think no because the intestines can perforate. But I don’t know. Why or why not?

My dog has sever abdomonal pain. He cannot use his back legs now and is not eating. You cannot even touch his stomach without him yelping. He has had very very small bowel movements the last two days hardly any at all and now none at all. When I go to pick him up he pees on the floor. We took to vet had an x-ray no bowel obstruction. Spine is fine. One vet says look like tumor in stomach the other vet said no its just his intestines. What do I do. He is on pain meds for now.

Hi.

I’m in college, and in certain classes I have spastic colon and it makes really loud and embarrassing noises.

I’m pretty sure it’s triggered by anxiety, as it’s not followed up by diarrhea or any of the things attributed with intestinal problems.

I am wondering if I could possible have agoraphobia. I have severe social anxiety every time I leave my apartment, and in classes where I have spastic colon the anxiety is usually caused by a fear that something embarrassing will happen to me–i.e. needing to go to a bathroom and not being able to, saying something stupid, etc. But this anxiety is causing even more embarrassment because my intestines make strange and loud noises during class.

So I guess, a few questions:
* Is it possible I have agoraphobia?
* What’s the difference between agoraphobia and social anxiety?
* How do you prevent your innards from making such weird noises?

HELP!
Thanks to the bottom two. The answerer who recommended the Bible, however… the Bible is xenophobic, misogynist, homophobic, and elitist.

If you’re anything but a white, male, non-handicapped heterosexual who was "lucky" enough to have been born into a culture where Christianity was the dominant religion, I don’t understand how the Bible could do anything but GIVE you anxiety.
P.S. Don’t you think that it’s kind of convenient that your religion offers "solutions" to all of my problems. God gave people brains… God wanted people to use them… those people came up with medication. I would take chemo for cancer, not wait for some kind of answer to drop down from the clouds.

She had a parasite in her intestines. The vet gave her flagyl which took it away. 3 weeks later she had diarrhea. They tested her feces but no parasite. The vet said to change her food. I now feed her Nutro for Seniors, no wet food, but she still has soft stools. She is 10 yrs old. Any suggestions?

I thought a person with gastroparesis has problems emptying their intestines because the food moves too slowly. If that’s the case, then why can a person have diarrhea with gastroparesis? Wouldn’t that mean the food is moving quickly through the body, not slowly? Can somebody PLEASE explain it to me, because I just don’t understand.

I’ve had some problems with my stomach for a few years now and think that I might have celiac disease. I had a colonoscopy 3 years ago and my intestines looked fined, so does that mean I don’t have celiac disease or would celiac disease not show up in a colonoscopy?

What IBS means: —– Irritable bowel syndrome is understood as a multi-faceted disorder. In people with IBS, symptoms result from what appears to be a disturbance in the interaction between the gut or intestines, the brain, and the autonomic nervous system that alters regulation of bowel motility (motor function) or sensory function.

Irritable bowel syndrome is characterized by a group of symptoms in which abdominal pain or discomfort is associated with a change in bowel pattern, such as loose or more frequent bowel movements, diarrhea, and/or constipation.

Also, what are the links between serotonin levels and GI track activity? Would a person with clinical depression and anxiety issues have an imbalance of serotonin in his or her intestines that could cause IBS?

Would weight loss, rest and change of diet be likely to improve the irritable bowel symptoms of somebody who is experiencing IBS because of one of the two aforementioned reasons?

Should they drink diet soda or not?

Hi, there.

I have severe social anxiety/phobia, but only in crowded classrooms. Because my intestines/colon are uber-sensitive, I start having irritable bowel syndrome/spastic colon in classroom-settings, I’m sure because of the stress/anxiety I feel when I’m there.

Unfortunately, this feeling of pressure makes it seem as though I have to go to the bathroom… probably gives me gas… and makes my intestines make embarrassing noise which increase the anxiety. It’s a vicious cycle.

What preventative measures can I take? I don’t want to rely on medication. I want to find a way to stop the problem. The problem has nothing to do with being constipated either. If anything, it’s the opposite of that.

I’m not sure if the feeling of nervousness makes me feel like I have to go to the bathroom, or if feeling like I have to go to the bathroom makes me nervous. I’m not even sure why I’m afraid I won’t be able to hold it–I haven’t had an "accident" since I was a child!!!

Help, please???!!!
