What make bowel movement float?
High fat content within the stool will make it float, this condition is called steatorrhea. It usually suggests your body isn't producing enough enzymes called lipase to break down the fat so your body can absorb it. Or your toilet has salt water in it which will make almost anything float.
Is it normal to have gooey poop?
A bowel movement (stool, or feces) should be firm without being too hard or too "gooey". Often, a change in what you're eating will change a consistency that is different. For example, drinking more water helps prevent hardness in stool.
Can you lose large amounts of blood with Crohns disease?
It can appear you are bleeding to death when you lose blood through the rectum during a bowel movement. It is not usually the case. Blood in the toilet bowl always looks like more than it really is because it is diluted with the water in the toilet. You can lose blood from the bowel and this should be treated by a doctor.
Why do you wince when you have a bowel movement?
Having a bowel movement can cause discomfort or even pain, especially if your stool (bowel movement; feces) is harder than usual. "BMs" should be formed, but soft. Those exit without much difficulty. But if you don't drink enough water, the BM can feel hard, jagged, and is harder to push out. Also, gas in the intestines, and normal peristalsis (muscles moving in the intestines), both can cause discomfort or even cramp-like pain. Of course, gassy pain often accompanies having a bowel movement because the intestines are hard at work to push out the feces. Rubbing your belly, or putting a heating pad against your belly, can help relieve gassy pain. If pain is severe, occurs frequently, or you see blood in the toilet, consult your doctor.
Will a sharp stabbing pain in male's lower right abdomen usually go away after a bowel movement?
Could be an obstructed or twisted bowel...or maybe your diet. Try drinking more water and eating more fiber (or take a fiber tablet/stool softener). If pain continues, see a doctor.
If blood comes out your butt every time you have a bowel movement is this a sign of you starting your period?
No. You should not experience rectal bleeding at the onset of your menstrual cycle. The most likely cause of your rectal bleeding when you have a bowel movement is something called a fissure. It is a small tear in the rectal wall, mostly commonly associated with constipation, straining to to have a bowel movement or anal sex. You should take a stool softener along with increasing your fiber and water intake to ensure your feces are the consistency of tooth paste not hard and well formed. ~RA
Why does toilet fill by itself?
Most likely the flapper in the bottom of the tank is not sealing and letting water seep into the bowel.
What causes bowel movement to be tiny ball size?
The question is: Do they float? As long as they float it means you are getting plenty of fiber and that's a good thing! The little 'ball' size isn't anything to worry about as long as you are regular. If you're that concerned, you could take a stool softener nightly so the 'tiny ball' situation may change. What is wrong is that your colon is holding on to too much water and this is drying out the stool. Try more water and the stool softener.
How do I continue to have a bowel movement while on the hcg diet?

What Bisacodyl tablets used for?
It is used in constipation. They work by increasing water and electrolyte secretion by the mucosa and increased peristalsis movement by stimulating sensory nerve endings in GI mucosa. The faeces are moved through the bowel too rapidly so that watery stools is elimination.
