Intestinal Problems?

Question

Ok this may be gross but for as long as I can remember I've pooped pebbles. Sometimes I go once every 3 days or sometimes everyday. I drink lots of water & my doctor had me try fiber supplements & colon softner. All it does is make my peebles softer. I also have chronic bloating. Then every once in a while I will get diarrhea & when I do I pass out from it. I have the worst cramping & I have to grip something to help with the pain. My dr. says I pass out because I have low blood pressure. Sometimes I worry that there may be something wrong with me. Any advise?

Hi Meagan

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. #6 is the key for long term health.

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.

Also

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 and do one 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

Go see a gastro doctor. They can do some tests to see how your intestines are working. Sounds like the intestine is very tight and small and hard for larger stool to pass through.

Answer 3

you are at risk for a bowel obstruction and it could kill you (sepsis) if you keep getting constipated. try having mineral oil 30ml every day if water and fruits and vegetables don't help. and when you're having frequent diarrhea, you could get severely dehyrated. i suggest for you to have your blood works done. also ask them for an OB stool exam. very importantly, see a GI doctor for a consult.
