I know what a digestive system is and I know that it includes breaking down eaten foods through the stomach and intestines. But what sort of symptoms would having your digestive tract regulated help? Be specific and detailed here, please post credentials and don't post any wikipedia.

I was raped when I was 9.
Now I'm 22 and I usually get myself into trouble.
There are times that I get the feeling that I like to be abused sexually. I look for people who would hurt me and then after they've abused me I cry and hate myself and would usually cut myself.
I can't disguss this (relationships with abusers) with my psychologist because I'm not ok about it and I feel humiliated if I do.
What's wrong with me?
I know I have to tell my psychologist but I can't find the courage.

Three months ago, I went to my doctor so that he could help me stop the acid reflux I had. It was horrible and he prescribed nexium, I asked him how long I would have to take these pills and he told me for as long as I live. These pills will eliminate the pain but not the cause so I started to take them. I noticed that I was getting alot of headaches and well the acid reflux pain was coming back like every other day and I called the doctor and he proceeded to tell me that the headaches were a side effect and with time the headaches would stop. Well, my sister in law suggested that I try Apple Cider Vinegar (two tablespoons), and I did. Well the acid reflux is completely gone (havent had it for one month now) and no more headaches... So, on Friday I went to my doctors and told him that the acid reflux is now gone and that I took the Apple Cider Vinegar, and the doctor got upset with me and told me to leave. He didnt want me to explain to him and he just left the room. What gives

I used to be a straight A student in school; spent ages on assignments and was labelled a perfectionist, but it easy work. I had some issues in late high school, felt depressed, was scared of socialising, got teased, but it didn't really affect my work.
But things started happening. I'd get frustrated with assignments. I'd always enjoyed writing essays, English being one of my favourite subjects. But now, I'd sit down and just get kinda angry about it. I'd have a lot of trouble getting started, and if I managed to, I couldn't work on it long without losing my cool and start crying, or screw the paper up and throw it. I'd think '**** this, why should I do it?' or 'it's too hard' when I know that the assignment was something a couple of years ago I'd have relished. I quit high school at the start of year 12, and that was a big part of the reason.
Since, it has carried over to other things, i.e I need to wash the dishes, but I'll get too frustrated and go cry over it.

But why?!

I'm trying to make some dietary changes, but I'm on a budget. What kind of healthier foods are out there that help with energy & brain power without breaking the bank? This is one reason why I tend to eat what I do... junkfood is almost always cheaper. I am working out regularly, which helps, but I'm still trying to avoid those mid-afternoon slumps, & I'd like to tone up faster.

My mom has had a constant pain in the bottom right side of her back ever since she had a field service job (where she drove a lot) about 20 years ago. Driving and sitting for long periods of time make it worse. Has anyone had this or know what it could be?

Is it okay if I skip a meal a day? I have lost 8 pounds from doing this. I weigh 208 and I am 10 yrs old. I hate being obese. I just want to look good. At night I dream about bleeding and knives. I am not sure what is wrong. Why is my body thinking this way?
(I usually skip breakfast. Sometimes lunch. Sometimes both.) Is a 10 yr old supposed to be thinking this way? I started my period when I was 9 yrs old and am almost 11. Last week I had my period for 11 days. Is this all normal? If not, What could be wrong? PLEASE HELP???

I broke one of my teeth eating a Friendly ice cream cake about a month ago it didn't bother me much. then I ate a Dorito couple of days ago and the filling fell out and started to hurt alot. I looked in the mirror and the tooth that was supposably filled was decayed. How can it be Decayed when it was drilled and filled.I don't think that Dentist doesn't know what the Hell he's doing. Should I get it filled again by another Dentist it's down to the gum and it bleeds cause part of the tooth thats broken is sharp. Or should I get it pulled and get it overwith?.

how many calories can i take in and still lose weight? I'm 17 5'7 3/4 and weigh about 135 now. I was 165 and lost weight over the span of a few months. I started losing back in august and my goal weight is 130 so I'm so close but I can't seem to lose the last 5 pounds. I splurge about 1 to 2 times a week and it doesn't affect me much but I think it may stop me from losing the last 5 pounds. suggestions anyone?

What is the homeopathic treatment for constipation? I regularly have to take Isabgol mixed with Kayamchurna, and still I have to sit for half an hour in the toilet in the morning. I want to stop this and want to have normal bowel movement.
