No.Certainly not.If your digestive system is working properly,your daily food will give you what you need. If it is not fuctioning well no supplement will work permanently.\nSo it is best to improve digestion.stick to wholesome diet.

Yes, you can.  Not from not "emptying your bowels" everyday, that's an exaggeration.  But if you don't have one for a long time and you let it build up because of constipation, it can make you really sick and you can even die from it.

According to nutrition experts (and some docs) you should go at least 3 times a day, as many times as you eat actually. Garbage in/garbage out. I would go to another doctor to get a second opinion, and a laxative or stool softener.  You should not be in pain when you have a bowel movement, and I don't believe it's normal to go once every two weeks.  Please go to another doctor to get help and answers.

Urine is sterile so no harm can come to you from drinking YOUR OWN urine. Don't drink other persons as illnesses and diseases can be passed this way.\n\nFecal matter can cause severe stomach trouble as there is a huge amount of bacteria in it! DO NOT eat feces, no matter whose it is.\n\nAnd no, I wouldn't eat human waste. As you stated it was an island so there would be oceanic foods available.

Absolutely. If you're having "problems "and want to take a laxative, try eating prunes or figs daily and increase the ammount of water you drink every day. At least 8 cups a day is the minimum reccomendation.

Get to a health store and purchase some Flax seed.  Grind it up in the coffee grinder and use 1 tsp a day in your cereal.  You won't have any more problems and it will clean out your intestinal tract.  It's tasteless.  You'll feel great.

Personally, I wouldn't take it before going to bed.  If you're worried about losing your gut, don't eat ANYTHING past about 7:00 at night.  You also should switch to 6 small meals spaced throughout your day, as opposed to the traditional 3 meals.\n\nIf you want some really good info on bodybuilding and diet, check out this site.

Yes, go buy a stool softener.  They come in gel caps.  It will soften the stool so you can empty your colon better.

all i can say is fast, dont eat anything and use diuretics and laxitives. Its not safe, but its the only way I know of. Good luck.

I would take a stool softener and drink lots of water, not a laxative. You need something which will work through your entire digestive system from the stomach down. A suppository and enema only work from the butt up (and they don't work themselves up through the entire intestinal track). It will take a couple of days before the stool softener works, but it is the least harsh method for your problem. Good luck !

t is believed generally that constipation and straining to have bowel movements promote hemorrhoids and that hard stools can traumatize existing hemorrhoids. It is recommended, therefore, that individuals with hemorrhoids soften their stools by increasing the fiber in their diets. Fiber is found in numerous foodstuffs including fresh and dried fruits, vegetables, grains, and cereals. Generally 20-30 grams per day of fiber are recommended whereas the average American diet contains less than 15 grams of fiber. Supplemental fiber (psyllium, methylcellulose, or calcium polycarbophil) also may be used to increase the intake of fiber. Stool softeners and increased drinking of liquids also may be recommended. Nevertheless, there is no strong, scientific support for the benefits of fiber, liquids, or stool softeners.

It depends.  Fats are difficult to absorb and if not being processed well can worsen diarrea.  Do you have any gall bladder issues?  Bile helps break down fats and if you don't have the right amounts, it can make fats difficult to digrest.    Remember "olean"  the fat substitute they tried in chips.  It was not absorbed and caused diarrhea as well as malabsorbtive problems.  \n\nWhen you have severe diarrhea, you also slough off the superfical cells that line your intestines that help do some of the absorbption/digrestion.  They take about 3 days to regenerate. And if the fat is not absorbed it can worsen diarrhea.  Mineral oil is not digestible and they use it for that reason as a stool softener for those who are constipated.  Undigested fat can act the same way.

you need to drink mineral oil every night two big swallows plus take the stool softeners 3 times daily. you can lay off the laxatives you do this for two days and you will be amazed at the difference it makes. you also need to not eat peanut butter or cheese. for the gas you can take two soft gel caps of gas-x any time you feel the gas starting to build up and it will stop that. al this stuff i told you to take is over the counter from wal-mart

Alchohol is not a natural item that should be in your system. It can be harmful to you in overconsumption. When you consume more than your body can absorb or can eliminate quickly your body rejects it in an attempt to prevent alchohol poisoning.\n\nYou can prevent this by drinking less. Try to consume less than one drink per hour (That is the rate at which alchohol is burned in your system.) Or eating before you drink. The food in your stomach absorbs the alchohol and allows it to pass through your system more efficiently.\n\nIn short...\nBody's self preservation + alchohol = ralph!

I don't think so. While eating fruit and veggies is good for you, too much can cause diarrhea. Definately include more fruits and vegetables in your daily diet. Also, make sure you are drinking at LEAST two eight ounce glasses of water (not juice, soda, hi-c) a day. It will help keep you hydrated and flush out impurities. Add walking every day for a half hour to get your blood pumping helps too!
