Bowel Disorders :: Glycerin Suppositories Had Opposite Reaction
I have a prolapsed bowel and had a ventral mesh retrospect major surgery for it and found it hoisted my prolapse up but in doing so it created a situation whereby getting poo from A to B in my colon was a non starter, it just wasn't functioning anymore and I was so frequent I was still post surgery opening my bowels 16 to 22 times a day, 10 plus with two codeine daily and nightly, I've had six years of torture, misdiagnosis etc, things failing to show up on proctograms and colonoscopies so have now asked for an MRI scan as to all accounts I have heard they are more reliable and now at the 11th hour the Consultant is considering it, I feel suicidal, I strain so much I risk brain aneurysm and appendicitis every time I go, it is painful, nothing is being done.
Then my Consultant gave me a course of glycerine suppositories, I took one the first day, the result was buckets of slime, both brown and transparent, infernal internal itching, gross levels of colonic irritation and all sorts of unpleasant - I wont say SIDE effects as these were ACTUAL effects, and I was up all night long didn't get a wink of sleep where instead of the usual on the loo every 20 mins I was on there every ten. I had started the course in the genuine belief it would cause my poo to come down in the desired "one fell swoop" that it hasn't for six years, its been tortuous, but never again will I try glycerin suppositories, glycerin and my backside, a mis match!
The situation now is I have written to both GP and Consultant, requested a MRI scan, as literally every other sort of test has been done multiple times over, and they lie basically they do not show up what is wrong in my genuine experience, hence my having to wait 18 months of this sort of test with the full extent and requirement for surgery not being recognised, yet I was fully prolapsed as was indicated when the surgeon did a "hands on examination" under anaesthetic, I was up till then met with reluctance to believe the symptoms I was experiencing were true and some extremely snotty attitudes, I can tell you, anyway, aside from requesting an MRI, being considered, i am due to have home colonic irrigation but dubious seeing as the pessaries were a complete disaster, but will try anything suggested as i have co operated with every single test they;ve booked me, and I also have made enquiries about an operation that removes part of the colon but unlike with a full colonoscopy you still poo through your anus, as every time i have mentioned this operation they have bypassed and sidetracked me, and tried, yet again to put my complaints about the most severe and difficult to live with of symptoms, down to behavioural and therefore not needing to be treated, because i am also for my sins a schizophrenic, so I feel this is getting political and has been for some time so I am going to get a bit political myself back and suggest these things to the Consultant and point out the shortcomings that I can see where they appear to need a magnifying glass to recognise or admit to the same syndrome, wish me luck, but if you do get offered glycerine suppositories, be warned, as for me they did not bring things down in that which I would beg and plead for readily, in "one fell swoop", I found quite the reverse, they irritated the living daylights out of my colon and kept me awake all night and in great degree of distress, just warning those of us in my position as i feel its my duty really. Keep your chin up everyone out there.
Bowel Disorders :: Thick White Anal Discharge
I've suffered from mucus-coated stools and a light anal discharge for years and years, after having a peri-anal abcscess misdiagnosed as piles at the age of 17. This resulted in having an urgent operation to drain the ruptured abscess. 11 years after this surgery I was diagnosed with a multiple fistula-it was incredibly painful by this time as I had ignored the discharge etc for all those years, but it became unbearable. A year ago I had a fistulectomy, which has healed well. During the surgery they found a lump in my bowel. They took a biopsy and I was told it came back clear. For the last three months the discharge has returned-it's quite runny and not foul smelling, but I know also pass strange, fatty like things from my anus when I pee. It feels like I need to pass wind when I wee and then these bits come out, a couple of lumps of what look like slightly under cooked egg white. I am also still having mucus covered stools with some bright red blood and some darker blood when I wipe.
I really don't want to have to go through more 'camera up the bum' procedures but do you think I should?
Thanks for any help or advice anyone can offer me.

View 1 RepliesBowel Disorders :: Painful, Odd Bowel Movements
I have had IBS for 20 years, and have been treating it with fiber therapy pretty successfully. In the last few months, i've had some odd bowel movements. the first one i noticed was long and thin and tough, like an elastic. i thought tapeworm, but my stool tested negative for worms. i can't explain it, but after wiping and checking it flings itself off the toilet paper a fair distance. I'm afraid to ask my doctor because he scoffed at me when i told him that i thought i had worms. i had a colonoscopy for my 50th birthday in august and everything checked out. Any idea as to what's happening?
View 1 RepliesBowel Disorder :: Anal Fistula Recurrence
So I have had an issue with fissures in the past, due to being on pain meds for pancreatitis for months and cooccurrent constipation. I have already had one surgery to heal the fissure, and it seemed to work. So when I started have that same burning pain when I had a BM I assumed that was what it was. I became really used to it, and it went on for a LONG time. Flash forward to now. I noticed a couple weeks back what looked like pus on my toilet paper when I wiped after urinating, and was freaked out. I pushed on the area near my anus and more pus came out. I assumed my fissure got infected somehow and left it alone. It happened again, this time I was home so I grabbed a hand mirror and looked down there. I saw a bloody spot that was leaking blood slowly about 1 inch from my anus, and I freaked out. I had NO idea what it was, so I googled it and looks like it may be a fistula. It seems to "close up" and go away for a while, then I can smell something and when I go the bathroom I am leaking a little bit of blood/pus from the hole. Seems to happen randomly, its opening doesn't seem to have any correlation with when I have a BM and BM's aren't bloody typically. I have been using anti bacterial soap down there frequently now and I can feel what feels like a ridge under the skin running from the hole to my anus if that makes any sense?
I am completely embarrassed. I am 28 years old and a female, someone who doesn't even leave the house without makeup and this situation is so bad. It smells, I feel like I smell 24/7 (nobody has mentioned it but I feel like I do) and I am almost too embarrassed to go to the doctor. Doesn't help that I am overweight, and though I am meticulously clean (I even use a bidet) I feel like somehow the doctor will judge me as a gross fat girl.

I have been having bleeding from my back passage, fatigue and tiredness for weeks and finally got to the doctor today. She told me that I had IBD and that she would arrange for an urgent referral for a colonoscopy (2 weeks). She also said that I should come back if the symptoms got worse in the mean time. I am anxious that I maybe underplayed the symptoms slightly. every time I go to the toilet (5 or 6 times per day) it is bright red and seems not to be getting better. Should I go back or is it fine to wait two weeks?

View 1 RepliesBowel Disorders :: Severe Diarrhea And Vomiting
For the past 10 years I have had severe digestive issues. If I eat more than twice a day I will spend the majority of my day in the bathroom so I avoid eating especially during work hours. I also have a hard time drinking a lot of fluids and if I drink too much I end up vomiting? I have heartburn almost daily and ironically water seems to make it burn more than most beverages so I really don't drink near as much as I know I should. I have had several upper and lower scopes, colonoscopies, breath test and worked with nutritionist and they all are baffled and tell me nothing is medically wrong with me? I recently feel like im constantly on the verge of getting charlie horses in my legs, have random blurriness in my eyes and I'm just tired. I am broke out of my mind and quite frankly feel hopeless because even if they did find something I can't afford to treat it? I'm frustrated, scared and exhausted. I have no idea what is left that I can do?
View 1 RepliesBowel Disorders :: Explosion Of Gas Coming Up My Throat
For some reason whenever I feel an intense build up/explosion of gas inside me coming up my throat/diaphragm or when I have a sudden huge burp (of course, I can't control or expect it when its so sudden), there is a sharp short pain in my right side of the head a bit above the ears and closer to the temple. Similarly this happens when I yawn very strongly as well.
I read that this could be due to tight neck muscles, and to give some context, I did strain/pull my neck when I was during a session in lifting weights a few weeks ago (around 7-9th of July 2015), but I don't recall this feeling during the time I felt strained.
Perhaps my neck is still in the process of recovering, and hence this tightness is causing me the problem? Although, I do not feel neck pain from the pulled/strained neck any-more (the soreness/pain only did last me few days before I felt fine again), the neck could still be in fact recovering?

Bowel Disorders :: Undigested Food In My Stool
I am a generally healthy, 22 year old male. However, I have a persistent problem with my digestion, particularly my stomach.
The issue began when I was 16. I would often have to do a poo multiple times a day, and I had some cramps. My stool was often undigested food. My doctor diagnosed IBS.
This continued off and on until I was 20, when I went to India and got two intestinal infections: one was a bacterial infection, which cleared up after a week of antibiotics (although I continued to have bloody diarrhea), the other was a parasite, which also went away after a week of an amebicide. However I continued to have issues with my bowels, with a black stool.
This has continued up till now. I find I often have pain in what I assume is the stomach area (the area of my top two abdominal muscles). I have frequent bloating, I burp a lot, and discomfort after I eat. I have a lot of trouble digesting vegetables, and if I eat them raw I can see them in my poo undigested.
Bowel Disorders :: Anus Air / Gas Escaping Without Knowing
I've had this problem for over three years now. At any time of the day I feel as if air is escaping my butt and sometimes my vagina as well. I never noticed it myself until I realized others reactions, it also makes a sound all the time almost like a humming. I don't know what to do I don't go out of my house because of this people always start laughing at me and saying things but i don't know what causes this. Last year it did stop for a few months but just recently started up again and i can't seem to figure out why this happens.
