Most women do eat less. I try to eat foods that are high in fiber in my diet (intentionally because some of us older gals need some whole grains, and bran)...If your girlfriend is having a problem with her schedule then maybe she could solve the problem by adding some foods that are rich in fiber to her diet. Did you ever hear an old saying, "An apple a day keeps the doctor away." It's true! Even an apple a day or applesauce or some cereals have terrific fiber content! Fresh raw or steamed vegetables are also good for coaxing things along. For me, I think I feel better if I go at least once a day. Sometimes only every 2 days, because I really do not eat big meals (like I did when I was younger and more active). \n\nI think a person's schedule depends on his or her own metabolism, rate of digestion, and diet. The amount of water that you drink can influence bowel function too. If you drink plenty of water and eat some fiber, there is a lot less chance of constipation. Some herbalists also recommend a program of detoxification to cleanse the colon. Before taking any herbal medications, I think a person should have their health checked to make certain that they are healthy and there is not a medical condition causing the problem.\n\nConstipation (yes, I know some of your are giggling right now) but it can be a serious problem. People who develop a chronic problem with constipation do not need to become dependant on chemical laxatives for relief, it is much better to try to resolve this problem with dietary changes if possible. If you think there may be some kind of blockage that keeps one from pooping, it could be from many things, and the person should probably see a doctor for a professional evaluation. I do know that when things back up, in that way. It can cause a lot of problems with your health, and could be dangerous if it is a chronic problem.\n\nIf she feels comfortable with her routine, and you do too, then I would say that you have nothing to worry about. Fresh fruits, V-8 or Vegetable Juices, plenty of water, apples, apple sauce, or apple juice. \n\n**Both alcoholic beverages and drinks that contain caffeine can work as a diuretic and cause you to need to drink more water to compensate for the fluids that are depleted by your kidneys when you drink these beverages. \n\nGood luck, often if there is constipation or difficult bowel movements, then you can change that by simply changing some of your foods and drinks. Good luck to both of you!  Uh I hope everything comes out alright! :D\nruthie~

giving an enema should be a last resort. Giving it that often is quite unusual. I agree with you She's sick. and if your boyfriend says he's the only one that it didn't happen too, He knows that it is wrong and is probably embarrassed. I would never leave my child/ren alone with her!!!

This is what I luv about you. You are a man in tune with your bowels. \n What is taking a dump to a regular guy, becomes a zen-time to you! \nYou count how many times in a day you drop the kids off.\nYou check out the colour and texture.\nAwesome!

lol. Men are cute sometimes.\nFirstly, not all women experience PMS. (They're also lucky women). PMS is also a term many women abuse, by claiming every little thing is stemming from it, when they don't even know what it is, or when ir occures.\n\nIf she is regular, the only way for you to know when she's on it would be to know how long her average cycle is (say 30 days) then count 30 days from the first day she starts on a particular month to calculate her timing for the next month. \n\nAnd lastly, if your girl doesn't tell you when she's menstruating, maybe it's simply because she doesn't want or need you to know. But don't use PMS as an indicator. Not only is it an unreliable one, but it come before menstruation (hence PRE-menstrual Syndrome) and you would have to guess how many days later it comes anyways....

If she has started taking any type of new meds recently, that could be the cause of it.  Someone said an infection, which possibly could be true. She may have a pelvic infection otherwise known as PID which can be caused by douching. She also may have changed her douche. Sometimes, it can be the little things that we never even think about that can change body so dramatically. Best of luck to the both of you! And, by the way I think its great that you 2 meant that you dedicated yourselves to each other. Not many people do that these days! Once again, good luck!

It's not PMS.  I'd say Bipolar, but yours is a daily thing, and bipolar can be minute to minute.  I'd say you're sexually frustrated and in need of good humping.

Give her prunes and juice that has prune juice, or apple juice.  Also do not make an issue over her going potty, you can actually give her psychological problems and there are certain complexs in psychology that I can not rememeber the name of, off hand.  I think she may have a bowel stricture.  Have you had this checked?  By the way take her to another doctor for another evaluation also.  Maybe go to 3 doctors.  You can also buy infant glycerine suppositories, or give her metamucil with lots of water, they have orange flavored.  I am a nurse and have a psychology major also

Yes, completely normal.  Stress wreaks havoc with food intake, certainly.  Some people can't stop eating, and others can't even look at food.  The diarrhea is normal, too, as stress really messes with the digestive tract.  This is especially common with women; we're much more likely to get IBS.  Fun, eh?  And stress does crazy stuff with your menstrual cycle, too, birth control or no.\n\nIt really sounds as if you're having a bad time of it.  What you should do is concentrate on getting yourself through this and managing your stress as best as possible.  With fiance problems, I'm not going to say that you should calm down, but you should pamper yourself a bit.  Do some yoga, take some walks, get a manicure, have a nice long chat with your best friend, whatever you usually do when you're stressed.  Keep drinking that water and keep trying foods.  What do you usually eat when you've got a stomach flu?  Maybe you'll be able to keep down crackers.  Or maybe you can go with comfort foods that make you feel happy.  Don't worry too much about it, though.  Bodies are very resilient.  If it does worry you, try drinking juices and Gatorade and anything with calories and try to take a multivitamin.  That way, at least you won't get scurvy.

Constipation is yet to be figured out. I go everyday so I think that is just really weird when people can hold it in for that long! Bowel movements happen because all that nasty stuff we just ate, the leftovers, needs to be removed from our body. You are not removing it normally so I am sure you are in the high percentage rate of getting irrital bowel syndrome or even colon cancer. You should seek the doctors advice about this. Try eating more vegetables and fruit. Drinking water as soon as you get up in the morning, and drinking throughout the day will definitely help you out. Your diet needs to change.

my girlfriend has the same thing... we tried to have sex more often, and her cycle became regular.

It  is not normal, you should try to have a movement daily, even in the case you have a "big" colon you must try to have a movement daily.\nFirst try in natural ways f.e eat one salad, three kiwi fruits, and a spoon of honey,  every night!\nIf this does not work see your doctor. \nThe more movements you have daily the better for you.

That varies quite a bit depending on age, physical condition, illness or the lack therof, and the composition of your diet.  In a healthy, moderately active adult, it takes about 20 hours.  A person can sometimes consciously regulate one's bowel habits so that one goes to the toilet at about the same time every day.\n\nDon't get all panicky if you don't seem to be able to force yourself into a rigid schedule; not everyone can do that.  And don't believe any bullcrap idea that says you MUST empty your bowels each and every day.  That simply isn't true.  And don't fall for such guff as "you must detoxify your body regularly with enemas".  That, too, is bullcrap.  Some folks will push hard to convince you otherwise, but that's because they stand to gain by making a fool of you - they stand to gain your money, yo!\n\nIOW, most folks don't need to worry a bit about their bowels.  It all works out in the end!

Why your poop smell bad ?\nBecause whatever you eating it stays in your system more than 24 hour. Should come out by poop within 24 hour.\n\nIf poop stays more than 24 hour means it stays in rectum more than 2 or three or mor hour than rectum absorbs water from the poop and it starting to smell bad in rectum, you can not smell bad because it is in rectum but when you go poop it comes out and smells bad. Sometime it painful too. This is one thing.\n\nSecond thing you are not drinking enough water and it is very hart do digest food for your digestive system. Digestive system needs water to digest food.\n\nYou need to drink water one gall-an a day. If you do that your problem will be solve with in three month.\n\nYour poop will come out smoothly and will not be smell bad.\n\nOne thing you and we should remember that our body design for vegetarian food. Try to be vegetarian.\n\nMeat stays in stomach more than 24 hour. Remember that too. This is one more reason for poop smell bad.\n\nIf your digestive system works properly all 95% disease stay away from you.\n\nIf your digestive system not works properly, invites all disease.

Don't think about it. If she is, she is. Just keep laying that pipe. Don't give her a reason to need it any where else. If she turns you down, it might be true. Then the answer is in the small details of her behavior. Only you can tell. Don't fool yourself. The answer is right in front of you. Is she having problems that need the pills?
