Picolax is a combination of two laxatives, sodium picosulfate and magnesium citrate, which work by increasing the movement of the intestines, resulting in bowel movements.

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.

What does the shape of bowel movement mean--many round balls?
Many round balls in a bowel movement typically indicate constipation. This type of stool, often referred to as "rabbit droppings," suggests that the stool has been in the colon for an extended period, leading to excessive water absorption. It can be a sign that a person is not consuming enough fiber or fluids, or it may indicate a need for increased physical activity. If this pattern persists, it may be advisable to consult a healthcare professional.
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.

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.

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
