Be very conscience of your salt intake and drink lots of water.  Ask Doc when it is safe to start exercising again and try to get back into it as soon as possible.

Sounds like they need to see if you have a obstruction somewhere.  Also taking some stool softners everyday may help.\n\nAre you drinking alot of water?\n\nCan they change you to a different drug for detoxing...like Clonidine?

I had this done a few years back.  Stock up on baby food and gatoraide.  The first few days you will not even think about eating, I PROMISE you.  I would either buy extremely lose fitting pants/shorts or a long night gown to wear.  Drink a lot of fluid...  I didn't drink enough to start and ended up severely dehydrated with my organs shutting down.  You have to tell yourself to drink, drink, drink.  Get lots of rest and don't try to stand straight up at first...  A walker may help you get around the first few days.  You can rent them at most stores such as Drugco or other pharmacies.  You may have drainage tubes, they are very irritating.  Be careful with them and drain it how the doctor tells you.  Don't be alarmed if you have a little bit of drainage one day and tons the next.  I used baby soap for baths/showers...  it was mild and non irritating.  I suggest sleeping in a recliner the first 2 weeks, you will NOT be able to lie flat on your back.  At the very least, stock up on pillows and stack them all around you on the bed to make a reclining position.  You may even want to put one under your knees.  Don't try to do to much at first, take time to heal.  You will need lots of help for awhile and then some later on.  You will need to get up and move some but take baby steps.  When you begin to eat foods, stay away from a lot of sugary things at first, you can enjoy them in smaller amounts later on.  Chew, chew, chew.  Don't swallow anything that you haven't chewed enough of.  You can get raelly sick and throw it all up.  I suggest baby shrimp.  They are tiny and packed with protein.  Umm...  There is so much, feel free to message me later on and I can tell you more.  I lost 170lbs and just had the extra skin removed almost 3 weeks ago.  Yesterday was my first day back to work.  Don't get aggrivated if you don't lose tons at first or lose a lot then none.  Be happy with yourself.  You are about to make a huge mental and physical change.  The mental stuff kicks in a few months after surgery.  Make sure you have someone you can talk too.  Let me know if you need anything else, this is just a touch of info!

Intestine has collapsed. Go be with her. It is. She was there when you were young and had the sniffles. She will have quite a major surgery. GO BE WITH HER!!!!

Take her to a Children's Hospital ASAP.\nThis happened to my little cousin.  He hadn't had a bowel movement in about a week, and they took him to a hospital and the DR said it would pass.  So a few hours later they took him to Children's and they said that if they would have waited any longer he would have literally burst.  They are now in the process of suing the first hospital.  I hope this doesn't scare you, but prompts you to go to a good hospital and quickly.

Try an antacid..if u feel relief then maybe its an ulcer. Other possibilities: twisted intestine, blocked intestine, appendicitis..would really see a Dr. soon..but if u start vomiting, get a fever and/or pain bcomes severe then go to the ER.\n\nGood luck!

if you had food poisoning, you would know, Everyone I know who has had it said they would have rather just died then to feel like that again.  Maybe you have an appendicitis or something.  Go to the Dr.  or at least call the local advice nurse and ask what they think...

No, I wouldn't worry. The blood is probably from there being so much pressure on your bowels. I've had this problem, and you should just take a good laxative, like Carters Little Pills. To keep from having these episodes, you should also drink plenty of liquids, water, juice and so on to keep yourself regulated. Another thing, add more roughage into your diet. Good luck!

I have Crohn's (13 years of 20) and my gastro has always told me to eat whatever i can tolerate. excluding corn and other hulled veggies. smoothies are the best thing.you can put supplements and such. avoid lots of orange juice though. it'll really cause diarrhea. of everything i've tried, smoothies have been the easiest on my guts. like the last poster said, avoid lots of seeds(strawberries, raspberries, kiwi, black/blueberries)they do not digest. there are so many recipes and you can buy them pre-made. it's something easy that you won't get burnt out on. also, while having a flare up, don't eat raw fruits and vegetables, they are incredibly hard to digest. owww! if you want your 5 a day, cook them down to mush and then chew it very well. or if you can handle it try v8- although it's rather acidic, and your bowel movements will be red. just keep that in mind so you don't panic when you go to flush and see red. hope this helps.

Everyone is going to say the same thing.  See a doctor.  Of course you are scared.  Thats natural.  I am going to suggest something that is kinda gross but its a good test.  After you are done having a bm, and you are done wiping, take some fresh toilet paper (white, not colored or printed) and pat the hole.  If it is bright red bloody then more than likely its hemorroids.  But yeah, you really should see your doctor as soon as possible.  Yesterday would be best.  Good luck and feel better soon.  You will be fine.

Sounds like you have a virus if its just been recently.  If this occurs often maybe even food poisoning or something you are eating.  You should see a doc if it has occured often

I have it removed now I am perfectly fine. \nI think you can discuss it with you doctor\nand see what he will give the suggestion.\n\nSometime if its not that you take antibiotics more than a month\nand nothing better, they might not suggest for the operation.\n\nAnyway ask your doctor.\n\nWish you to get better.

I don't think that that is possible. I had gall stones last yr & had to have my gall bladder removed. The surgery wasn't too bad &  I felt 100% better afterwards. I had gotten to the point where I could hardly eat & I was throwing up as soon as I woke up. I was told that your symptoms never get better they will only get worse. I wish you the best of luck. God bless.

The longest I didn't go to 'the little room' was 3 weeks. I ended up having a bowel investigation only to find that I had an intestinal blockage. Alongside stomach cramps however, I was loosing a lot of blood from my back passage. If not going for a few days is your only sympton, then I suggest drinking lots of water, eating more fruit and vegetables,fruit juices, licqourice in either herbal tea or tablet form and prunes (no matter how bad they taste -dried are least offensive!) Cut out red meat completely while you are constipated because it is very hard for your already struggling system to cope with. Please don't take endless laxatives, your intestines will become lazy if you do, leaving you in an even worse position long term. Good luck from someone who knows only too well how you feel xx

you need to be aware that the surgery will not cure the problem. they can and usually do come back. i know one man that had the surgery 6 times and when he died he had hemorrhoids. there are some herbal remedies that can help. i listed some of them below.\nPsyllium to help regular bowels\nfor the hemorrhoids use one of these:\nButcher's broom\nPopular\nSweet clover\nTolu balsam\nWitch hazel
