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?
She is really struggling to do the business, and when she does the stools are really hard. What tends to cause constipation and what naural remedies are there?

I know there’s no magic answer, but I can’t determine whether to put Sonny to sleep. He’s an 11-year-old orange tabby with Irritable Bowel Disorder (IBD). There’s no cure; basically he’s had diarrhea daily for almost 3 years. We’ve tried lots of things (not everything), but steroids, diet changes, antibiotics, etc. and nothing helps long term.
Lately he did really well with 9 Lives Tuna mixed with pumpkin – he actually had normal stools for the first time in years. But now he won’t eat that food anymore. His weight is down to 6.5 pounds (skin and bones) from original weight of 11.5 pounds.
For the past week he hasn’t felt well, and the IBD causes stomach pains before the diarrhea (and the diarrhea is painful too; if you’ve ever had it, you know). When I don’t feed him, he’s pain-free, but hungry and constantly begging for food/meowing/crying. It’s a vicious cycle. I have tried diet changes recently but they only add to the diarrhea.
He stopped playing with toys years ago.

I am frequently constipated even though I eat plenty of fiber, stay hydrated and exercise. My stools are normal size and aren’t too hard; I just have a hard time pushing them out. I often feel like I have a full colon and rectum (sorry for the details). I used ex lax a few times with success, but I don’t want to become dependent on it. I can’t stand prunes by the way. What are some safe remedies for constipation?
I have to go take a bowel movement about 4 times a day maybe even more. I have abdominal cramps and some bloating. For a couple of weeks now i completely changed my diet and i now eat brown rice with vegetables and i stay away from anykind of junkfood i also have begun to exercise everyday for an hour. My stools seem to get a little hard but i still have some unusual bowel movments and cramps. If i keep on living a healthy lifesyle when will IBS stop?
I am a 28 year old male. In addition to having been diagnosed with generalized anxiety disorder, I have been having a host of strange bowel symptoms for the past year or so: diarrhea, constipation, narrower softer stools, occasional mucus, but no blood. The one symptom of IBS that I do NOT have is abdominal pain. I noticed that one of the requisitie criteria for IBS was abominal pain that is relieved by a bowel movement. I have never had this symptom.
Can the condition I have still be IBS?
I am just wondering if it is possible that I have IBS without the pain/cramping aspect?
