An Arse of a Problem?

[Anonymous]

I have a problem. One that I've been having since the start of time that I have seen a gp about but they were useless and I figure, let's ask the random people without the experience that probably know more than the gp in this case.

I can't shit for shit. My whole life I have had this aversion to going to the toilet. My younger brother is the same. We both wait it out until the last minute before speeding off to the bathroom like puppies on crack.

I'm aware that holding it in isn't a good thing, but when it hurts like hell to shit? I'm going to bloody hold. Whenever i need to take a dump, I have to hold it for at least two days, before I can actually let it out without it tearing a hole in my arse. Not literally but it feels that way. Even then, if it's to the point where I still feel like I can't dump but my body is forcing me to stay on the toilet, which happens more often than I like, I will wipe afterwards, and find blood on the paper. Every time.

This is why I like having diharrea. I know it's going to be out. And it won't hurt to shit. It might be messier and make me feel gassy, but it won't cause blood to turn up on the paper.

The gp I saw basically told me to change my diet, since it wasn't twisted bowel syndrome. But the problem was, everything he suggested I switch to, I was already eating.

I don't know what to do anymore.

Does anyone have an suggestions?

Holding it is adding to your problem. While the poop is in your digestive tract, liquid is being pulled out of it. It enters as a digested mess of basically liquid, and by the time it comes out it is solid. If you hold it in longer, it will be dryer and harder, and cause more pain.

I have had doctors say more fiber and recommend the fiber powder supplements you can buy to help your poop. But they didn't do much good. And then I read that the body really needs a lot more water than I have been taking in, so I stepped it up (basically doubling or even tripling my water intake). Then I noticed my poop was moving easier and being less hard. We need to put more liquid in to start with so that it doesn't have all the liquid pulled out before it gets to the end.

Recommendations of water intake (without even considering the poop problem) is three liters a day for men and 2.2 liters a day for women. Get yourself a water bottle like hikers and bikers use that you can measure the water amount in, and make a point of drinking at least 2.2 liters a day. That should help.

Thankyou, I'll give this a go.

It may take a few days to work, and it may not be a complete fix, but you should have it much easier.

Thank you for MHO. :-)
Hope this helped your problem.

increase your intake of magnesium. magnesium in your stool (poop) tends to keep the bowel from leaching the water out of the poo to recycle it and helps keep it soft. also DRINK A LOT MORE WATER!!! then your body won't need to leach as much water out. give it a try. magnesium oxide is good. magnesium hydroxide is milk of magnesia and is a laxative. the hydroxide form can cause a physical addiction making it impossible to poop at all without it. so oxide form not hydroxide for daily stool softening.
( magnesium citrate will give you screaming diarrhea)

also you might try avoiding HIGH FRUCTOSE CORN SWEETENER for a couple of weeks. there are an awful lot of people that have what doctors call IBS that are miraculously cured when they stop eating and drinking things with the crap in it.
that is the best i can do. hope it helps

It's no biggie for it to hurt to go to the toilet? I'm pretty sure it is actually.
