I noticed some rectal bleeding about 2 weeks ago. It was followed by some mucus in my stools and bowel changes. I then developed abdominal pain on my lower right side. I went to the doctor on Friday and he said I had an anal fissure. I am now noticing bruises on my abdomen on the right side. I had no injury and I did not bump it in any way. Is this just a coinsidence or is there something else going on?

its not really bad diarrhea, its jus the stools are very watery and light, and its not a big burp but one of the small ones you get from time to time. It smells like rotten eggs to me at least it does. i was told it can be indigestion.

If you successfully hold in a bad diarrhea, will you start having worms in your stools? Thanks, 10 points to the best answer.

I took my 13 week old kitten to the vet on Saturday for his booster vaccination and the vet also gave him his rabies shot. He has had a bit of diarrhea since Saturday afternoon. He is not sick in any other way, he still plays and eats and does all the normal kitten things. I wouldn’t say that he has diarrhea but his stools are definately loose. Is this normal?

My 11 week old puppy had normal stools until after it rained and she possibly drank some water in a pot. She hasn’t had a change in her food or anything new introduced to her. It has been two days she has had diarrhea. She’s still very playful and happy. She doesn’t seem sick, tomorrow she get’s her second set of shots should I make a separate appointment to see the Vet?

I know this is a disgusting topic so don’t respond if you get easily grossed out!

I’m a 24 year old, generally healthy young female. I was diagnosed with IBS/Spastic Colon about 5 years ago and have only had a few attacks over that amount of time after diet and lifestyle changes.

On the 4th of this month I was in the hospital for ulcerative colitis (way to spend the holiday huh?) and I was treated with Imodium AD and put on a liquid diet for about 12-24 hours. I felt fine shortly after and a few days later my bowel movments seemd normal..at first.

I was watching what I ate as always, lots of fiber, drinking plenty of water, etc.

The last week or two I’ve notice that whenever I make a bm my stools are some what loose (not diarrhea) or they’ll be more solid but are a greenish color and I can see bits of undigested food in them (like spinach) I haven’t eaten a lot of meat or anything that’s very fatty in the last week.

I don’t have health insurance and I don’t want to have to go back to the hospital.

I haven’t been vomiting and no other symptoms (except some gas and bloating).

Any ideas?

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?

For the last year and a half I have experienced soft narrow stools, and alternating constipation and diarreah. I started funning the last month, and since then my stools have been normal again, more bulky and hard. Can running influence the caliber of a person’s stool?

flatulence along with ocassional sour and sometimes only frothy burps, coupled with discomfort and occasional pain in the region between the navel and chest bone be a sign of malignancy ?
I have symptoms of IBS for over 10 years now. It comes on only with my periods. This time round it started with my last period and continued until the next one. Pain was severe on the first day of the second period.
A ultra sound in April showed nothing wrong. An endoscopy a couple of years back was normal too.
Stools are normal. There is no weight loss. Medicines are giving only temperory relief.

I just ate like six cups of white rice with strawberries at about 12 midnight tonight. Both foods cause constipation.

How long will it take before I start to pass this rice? When should I take an over-the-counter laxative so I can time it so my stools dont come out painfully? Now? Tomorrow?
