Afternoon all, I've been wanting to tell you my story but I'm pretty much always busy having to go poop 4-5 times a day or doing Uni work, but I've decided to take this weekend off. THIS IS A LONG READ - WARNING! TRIGGERS FOR EATING DISORDERS. An introduction about me and how I believe I...

Hi everyone. I normally have a BM around when I wake up in the morning. Yesterday, before I had my normal BM, I had a cup of coffee. Then I had a BM, but then a short time later, I had to go again and much more came out. Today, I was barely able to get anything but a couple of hardish small...

For a test looking at the stomach, intestines, etc....Are there any tests that dont involve taking laxatives, barium, enemas or anything like those

My period did not come in July. My period came on August 4th and stopped on August 10th. On August 28th, as I was trying/pushing to have a bowel movement, I had abdominal discomfort and pressure in my pelvis. I had a small red spot of blood on my toilet tissue. My stool did not come out. I gave...

Sometimes I feel that I can go to the bathroom, and I think my stool will just come out without me having to push so much. However, sometimes my stool comes out, sometimes it doesn't. Sometimes, when my stool does come out, it may come out mushy; like apple sauce or sand. Is this still...

I know the rectum stores feces, but what is inside of the perineum? I feel a lump there, it cannot be seen with a mirror, it is inside. When I have a bowel movement, I feel that I am incomplete. I am unsure if its the lump that is in the perineum that is stopping me; I don't know if it is stool...

Hi so for about a month or so I've been having trouble getting any bowel movements to happen. It started when I somehow went on for 5 days with out going to the toilet. Which was weird seeing it was a daily activity before that. So I got some laxatives and that did the trick. But then the...

I have alot of problems with my stomach: 1. Constant sound (like liquid is constantly moving inside of my stomach), 2. Bloating after every meal (dosen't seem to happen if I only eat meat and leave out carbohydrates). 3. Constant "attacks" that cause LOADS of pain and make me fell like I...

I apologize in advance, this is a gross topic... Since I started having IBS a year and a half ago, I have had to often (say once a week) digitally "stimulate" my bowels to move. There have been periods where I don't need to for weeks...then an attack comes and the constipation is horrible. I'm...

Not sure if this will make sense but here goes Morning time i really struggle to have a BM mostly just pencils. I go for a run then boom i get a massive BM like paste/plaster. Throughout the day i drink plenty of water and i get BM at random times sometimes they are hard pieces, sometimes...

since I was a young girl I've always suffered from mild forms of anxiety due to the messy divorce of my parents at the age of six. because of my anxiety I've had many problems with my bowels causing me to have medically diagnosed ibs. sometimes I find that it gets worse right before I'm abou to...

I've had IBS or some say a Nervous Stomach for three years now and as of late after most BMs I feel wiped out. I'm eating about the same; I'm still using the same laxatives, and same clothes. Main difference my wife and I came up with is I've gained some weight over the winter and my gut is...
