What does your doctor say? If you can't handle exercise, then eat fewer calories. And if you are really having difficulty with your intestines when you exercise, you should check with your doctor. You could have a more serious condition that doesn't have anything to do with your weight. If your intestines bother you, then you should check for colon cancer or other conditions.

Increase your intake of water and fiber.Fruit has lots of fiber.Also raw vegetables,Oatmeal,nuts,and whole grains.Don't do laxatives.That is only a temporary fix.You also could become addicted to them.Diet is a major factor contributing to Constipation..Medications can play a part as well.Talk to your Doctor if this goes on for a long period of time or if you notice abdominal pain.Exercise can also make you more regular.A lazy body can make for a lazy colon.

I have IBS and I do a Castor oil cleansing one weekend a month and have much fewer problems for the other three weeks. I start by inserting two bisacodyl suppositories and then drinking four ounces of Castor oil. In about an hour I am having flush bowel movements. I take six dulcolax pills. Be sure to drink at least 8 to 10 ounces of water or more an hour while doing this. This process will make you go until what come out is clear. After doing this eat lightly for a few day and include yogurt to put a good flora in your system. I know many people will disagree with this but it works great for me. People are always afraid of what they have not tried or is not common practice!!!

Hi,\nYahoo health can get you to the link for IBS info.  The one I found info best was  aboutibs.org.  I usually don't like to recommend a specific product, but Dannon has a yogurt out called Activia that could be beneficial.  I have had IBS and attendent problems for quite a few years and the very best advice I can offer is educate yourself!  Don't ignore it and don't let it go.  If possible go to an Enterologist and enlist their aid.  Find one who will listen to you and will work with you to discover the needed treatment\n     Look to your ancestors also, for this is can be an inherited tendency.  Hope it is as simple as a reaction to a round of antibiotics, or a food you need to avoid, but definitely you will have to be your own best friend here.  Hope this is helpful!

Guess u mean stools ,as in faeces or poo! Sounds like you don't only have a fast car but a fast metabolic rate ,maybe. Its most properly a dietary related thing .Stay away from hot and spicy food alcohol,citrus juices .Check out a health web site to get an appropriate diet. If it continues longer than a week ,better check it out with your doctor. Watch for sighs that your  not passing blood,if so get to your doctor tomorrow. Sorry to hear about your "ring of fire".

Have you ever considered another, and MUCH safer alternative- it is exercise, and also- getting in control of any habits/behaviors you have that are keeping you-wherever it is-that you want to change. Reason I say this, is because if you do not change within-that is to say your beliefs about you, no diet/pill/anything will help you. You might check with health professionals who will validate this- Read "Psycho-Cybernetics" by Maxwell Maltz, MD, to get a sense of this. Your life is a mirror of your internal state-change THAT and your life will change. A friend of mine 2 years ago made a new statement to herself, added nothing else and lost 13 pounds- you too can do this. Regards, William

Tea is something that will usually keep you from going.... \n\nchocolate, greens, fiber... even if in metamucil... helps

In opposition to above, You DO NOT stop taking medications that can cause constipation.  What about the other reason, That is just nonsense.  Now to take care of your constipation. Drink lots of water and eat foods that are high in fiber or use a fiber substitute like Benefiber or Metamucil. Since you have taken a laxative, you may want to try taking a laxative that includes a stimulant like Ducolax or Sennakot.  These will help stimulate your colon to push it out.  Also, i'm sure you have probably been straining to defecate since you have been stopped up for a week.  You may want to try using a glycerin suppository as well as these ohter things to help lubricate your sphincter when your poo is on its way out.  This way you will lessen the chance of causing hemorrhoids and it wont hurt so bad.  Good luck, And drink lots of water :-)

You may need to change your diet and eat more fiber.  You can also try suppositories.  Stay away from constant use of laxatives, especially the chemical ones, as they are habit forming to your system.  Do not expect instant change as it may take your body a few days to adjust.  Personally, I would really concentrate on finding something healthy to eat, (maybe Prunes or Prune Juice) that would help me go without straining too much.

I am in the same predicament you are in. My doctor is telling me stuff I already know and i have no will power. like tonight i ate 3 bags of m&ms and a king sized twix but i will start tomorrow a new and try not to eat that crap.  what I do is excersice with a friend always because if I didnt i would do it. Its motivation. and I use a smaller plate so it can look full for the eyes and when I cook I only cook enough for 1 serving so when I want some more its none so I have to drink water to get full. Yeah, sometimes I dont always follow my rules but I wake up everyday and try again and harder. I havent weighed myself in a while because when i do and see that I have lost weight, my mind goes " what are you doing? lets eat more" and i gain it back but the best thing is to Wake up everyday and start brand new each day. if you break a day, its ok, try again. What I have learned is to not stop eating what you eat(as long if its not too much junk)just eat less of it. and excercise like crazy. oh, I also have been eating alot of fruits. I really dont like all the fruit thats available to me locally but i eat what i like apples, oranges, grapes, watermelon, strawberries, i just eat a different one a day.its called food rotating. Lucky with my job, one of my clients love to walk so 2 days out the week i have a good walk and my other client has to excercise more, so i motivate her by excercising with her and get strength training incorparated into those days. oh, i try to eat at least 6 times a day. breakfast lunch and dinner and 3 snacks but i dont always succeed, but i am losing weight, something i am doing is right because i can feel it in my feet and legs and sides where my bra is. hey, if you want a person to talk to about your days to give you motivation to keep trying im here for you sweety. so good luck. if you want to eat fast foods, try nuggets instead of burgers. and eat tacos. the whole point is to burn more calories than  you eat. good luck.

Constipation is when you can't have a bowel movement (go to the bathroom).  Certain foods and stress can bind you up, so its good to always make sure to have a lot of fiber in your diet and drink a lot of water.  Vegetables and fruits are high in fiber.  Or you can buy products like Metamucil that will help you add fiber to your diet.  High fiber in a diet seems to be associated with a healthier gastointestinal tract, and with reducing rectal cancers, although science is still researching this.

Well besides drinking more and eating more fiber, you could try a strong cup of coffee.  That sometimes works.  Otherwise, go to the store and ask the pharmasict for ducosate sodium.  It will have different brand names.  It is an insoluable salt that goes into your intestines, but will not get absorbed into your body, but it will draw in water (water follows salt), so will soften your stools and usually cures constipation.  It will not affect the rest of your body or cause side effects, so it is gentle.  It does not cause cramping or anything, just makes things easier to get out.

Changing what you eat and drink and how much you exercise will help relieve and prevent constipation. Here are some steps you can take.\ntry eating more fiber

For the friend with constipation they may have irritable bowel syndrome, try a medicine called Zelnorm. It works really well!\n\nThe friend that has diarrhea may have a gallbladder problem, that causes the food to run through your small intestine really quick without being digested - and the small intestine is where calories are absorbed so you lose weight. \n\nBoth of them should see a gastroenterologist (GI) doctor and they could diagnose it. They would probably at a minimum order blood work and more tests would follow from there.  \n\nGood luck!

Drink 5 glasses of water a day.\nEat 5 fruit and veg a day as part of a healthy and well balanced diet.\nExercise more.\nDepression and stress can also effect the lifestyle.\nConsult your doctor with your problem, he can prescribe you laxatives.  Sometimes they ask for stool and blood samples to see if you carry any diseases such as Irritable Bowel Syndrome, Crohns Disease etc.\nThese lifestyle changes should bring the constipation to a stop, but it could come back at anytime.

My Dr. and I just discusses this last week. Not all people who go through that are going through it due to being lazy. I have limited things i can do as of exercise as i was a passenger in a car accident that almost broke my neck. My feet are bad and i can't walk much or use a tread mill.\n\nDr. talked about this due to trying to help me lower my blood pressure, diabetes, high cholestrol, ect.\n\n I will review all the info here and all the sites you listed and talk to my Dr. again. Thank you Ziggy for your information.
