Hi THere

If your colon is bunged up, it can start to cause all sorts of health problems in the body. Eat lots of fruit and veg, include plenty of fiber in your diet and buy a colon cleanse from a health food store or online if necessary. It's also good to get some colonic irrigation. It makes you feel so clean inside and you get the urge to put only good food in your body after you've been cleansed.

1. Drink at least 8 glasses of water, herbal tea or unsweetened juice each day
2. Breakfast like a king, lunch like a prince and dinner like a pauper
3. Eat every two hours, by having healthy snacks in between meals. Eating frequently increases your metabolism.
4. Eat lots of fruit and veg.
5. When having potatoes, rice or pasta, just have a small portion.

1) Eat at least 5 servings of different fruits and vegetables every day. Don't eat any junk/snack type food until you've had at least 5 fruits/vegetables.

2) Stick to whole, unprocessed foods such as whole grains, beans, fruits, vegetables, nuts. As much as you can, try to eat foods that don't have a brand name! So, for example, eat oatmeal (you can buy oats in the bulk bin of most grocery stores) instead of Honey Bunches of Oats.

3) Eliminate partially hydrogenated oil and high-fructose corn syrup completely.

4) Drink a gallon of water instead of soda. If you really want juice, make it a nutritious juice, such as orange juice. Apple and grape juices have very little in the way of nutrients.

5) Minimize animal products, especially fatty ones, as much as possible.

6) Learn about colon cleansing every quarter to remove excess waste and toxins out of the body. You'll be better in no time.

Best of health to you

Answer 2

It could be any of a number of things. It could be a hemorrhoid that bled. It could be a minor infection in the colon. It could be irritable bowel syndrome. It could be cancer. Usually medical doctors get all bent out of shape about it and order tests, but most of the time it's something minor.
If some of the stool is black or much darker than normal, this means there is bleeding higher up in the digestive tract. That would mean it's probably not a hemorrhoid.

Answer 3

Blood with a BM is often caused by hemorrhoids. They are caused by passing of harder than normal stool. They can bleed intermittently but more often when passing a hard stool. Increasing the fiber and water in your diet will help keep the stool softer and easier to pass. If you have large amounts of blood, accompanied by clots, abdominal cramping and feeling lightheaded, you need to be seen by a doctor. Otherwise, you can probably treat this yourself.

Answer 4

Was the blood bright red (like if you wipe a cut) or dark red? This is a very important detail to note.

Answer that and I will edit my post and attempt to diagnose (as best I can over the internet)

EDIT. If it was bright red, it is most likely a anal fissure or hemorrhoids. If it keeps up see your GP.

If it was a dark maroon red, it was digested blood cells, which calls for a visit to your doctor ASAP.

Answer 5

Chances are it's nothing more than a slight bleeding from a hemorrhoid, but you might want to have a physician check it out by having a stool sample checked.
