Please don't read this if you...er... don't want to know about bowel movements.
I've been having a lot of problems lately. Between being turned away by doctors for having the wrong insurance, I've come to notice something.
Now I go to the bathroom a lot. Fairly loose stools, but I still have trouble getting it out. With no colon, but a rectocele/cystocele combo, I figure that's just how its going to be for the immediate future.
That's the background. Now this:
I ate Corn Pops- the puffed up cereal- last Thursday morning. I may not chew my food twenty times, but... it looks like they're turning up whole. In my, uh... you know.
It just doesn't seem possible for those to still be in my system. With my recent stomach aches (more like lower intestine aches) I wondered if it could be a bloackage?
Is it pus that just looks like cereal?
I'm not in enough pain to go to the emergency room, but I'm certainly scared.
Has anyone out there seen something like this?

(I cant figure out how to reply to specific answers. Sorry!)
I have BMs a three or four times a day at the very least. One or two at night. Could something I ate last week really still be there--- especially since I have no colon at all?

It could be a serious blockage but then you would know, extremely painful and emergency surgery as it would kill you. I am thinking diverticulitis, small pouches in your bowel and food is being trapped. Likewise the problem with bowel movement could be nerve problem. Cereal, corn, corn pops or corn on the cob is seldom fully digested. Try eating some bran, which will bulk up the stool and should assist with the problem. However I would see a Doc, because this type of problem should be checked out.

1 Corn don't digest very well, stay away from most corn prodects. 2 You need to go to the ER. If it IS a bloackage
the longer you sit around the worst it will get. Do you realy think putting off not going to Dr's will help matters ? Get going NOW !!!

I'm no expert, but it sounds like some of your food is going thru your system without being digested, and that is why you are seeing the corn pops.

Of course whole cereal could be turning up.
