I think i have bowel or colon cancer because i have been having a really hard time going to the bathroom lately. I have been like this since nov, i started with constipation every now and then and then as the months went by it started hurting more and more to go to the restroom, i bleed bright red blood from my anus and i find it in my stool. The last 1 month have been the worst, i have had excruciating pain when i go to the restroom, i don’t go to the restroom for approximately 4 to 5 days :/ which is horrible last friday i drank a magnesium citrate bottle and it helped me for the day, although my stool came out as diarrhea it still hurt and burned like hell!! on sunday i found a hemorrhoid and i have been putting preparation H. Since sunday i have been drinking Metamucil 2 times a day. since sat the only day i went to the restroom was on wednesday, only because i did an enema wash but even that didn’t help, my stool didn’t come out the way it was suppose too. I have lost a big amount of weight the past week and my appetite has dramatically reduced, my stomach always just feels uncomfortable, and is always hurting. This includes drinking lots of water and eating very healthy each day, especially eating a lot of fruits. :/ im really worried and i know i have to get it check out, but my parents don’tt always take it too seriously, it just worries me the most because im only 16 ;( so yeah i have tried everythingg from laxatives, to washes, stool softenersrs everyday, to fiber cereals and now the fiber drink but nothing is working, i really cant handel the pain anymore i cry every time. whats your guys opinion? please and thank you:)
so my problems are stomach pains, extreme constipation, weight loss, blood in stool and i bleed every time i go which isn’t often combined with a lot of pain, also a hemorrhoid and lately my anus gets itchy. also a mucus comes out too. please help

Okay I had my son about 6 months ago…off and on since then I have had off and on bleeding when going to the bathroom. It is sometimes on the surface of stool and on the toilet paper. I went to see my OBGYN about it about 2 months ago and he told me that it appeared as if I had an internal hemorroid. He has recommended using Metamucil everyday and lots of fluilds and such. Nothing happened since then…then about 4 days ago it occured again after not taking the metamucil for about 4 days. This will be too much information but it feels almost as if when you have really chapped lips or dry hands and the skin cracks that’s what it feels like. I am of course making an appointment with a digestive doctor but wondering if anyone had a similar thing or if they can tell me how they will test etc.

For the past month I have been doing a high fiber diet. However, I am still gassy. I eat all the fiber one stuff… When is all this gas going to stop???
I eat the fiber one products. no metamucil none of that stuff…
Fiber one snack bars, Fiber one cereal for breakfast and Fiber one yogurt with my lunch. Also I try to eat the healthy foods salads, chicken etc…

I have had a hemorrhoid on and off for a month or so now. I have been taking metamucil fiber supplements and have been eating better with exercise. It all helps alot, but every weekend when I drink alot of beer, the next morning I have massive diarrhea that causes this. It also seems that any time I have diarrhea I get a hemorrhoid? Why does it only happen then?

I’m 15, and I have a medium sized external hemorrhoid. It is a pretty annoying irritating pain. I can hardly take it. I’m miserable and dont tell me to get fucking surgery or anything. Preparation H is a piece of shit and it’s only made it sting worse..

I need something that can help.

I have started taking metamucil and eating foods with more fiber and drinking a lot of water. is there anything else I can do? I’m in tears because of this. fuck this sucks so fucking much.
