What would cause your stomach to feel like its on fire and fell nauseous?
I have a Hiatal Hernia and that is exactly what I feel. It took 2 months of hoping it would pass before I finally got an endoscopy and got it diagnosed. Part of my stomach has torn through my diaphragm and is up too high into my esophagus. It is not a super serious thing and it is very common but it does cause really bad heartburn as well as burning in my stomach from all of the acid build up. I also feel nauseous often if I eat something I shouldn't, which happens a lot. It could be that but there are about a million other things it could be too.

What is the carrot like object found in stool?
It may be just that--a partially digested carrot. Sometimes food passes through the stomach and intestines and out with your bowel movement without fully breaking down. It is a normal condition and it is perfectly normal to see chunks of visible food in the stool occasionally.
However of course, if you see a large amount of chunks of food and it does not appear food is digesting properly, or it increases in frequency, see your doctor to ensure proper bowel function.

Constipation occurs when the colon absorbs too much water or if the colon's muscle contractions are slow or sluggish, causing the stool to move through the colon too slowly. As a result, stools can become hard and dry. Common causes of constipation are * not enough fiber in the diet * lack of physical activity (especially in the elderly) * medications * milk * irritable bowel syndrome * changes in life or routine such as pregnancy, aging, and travel * abuse of laxatives * ignoring the urge to have a bowel movement * dehydration * specific diseases or conditions, such as stroke (most common) * problems with the colon and rectum * problems with intestinal function (chronic idiopathic constipation)

You can get constipation from a variety of factors including: due to not eating good, healthy food or not getting enough exercise.
You might also get it when you hold yourself from going to the bathroom.
You might also not drink enough water, your body needs a lot of water, and if you drink too much soda, that will end up as constipation.
You need to eat a lot of vegetables and fruits for fiber, which helps. You also can eat yogurt and broccoli is on of the vegetables that help the most.
Not eating enough whole grains, fruits and vegetables. Taking too many pain killers or amphetamines. Eating too much sugar. Coffee is sometimes a good natural remedy. Try natural fiber pills too. Miralax or Epson Salt works if you really need to go. If that don't work Phillips Milk of Magnesia or a rectal suppository may be necessary. The next alternative is giving yourself an enema (flooding the colon with a saline solution). Do not try multiple methods at once. Ask your doctor about this.

Can internal parasites cause white bowel movement?

What is the different between an enema and colonic irrigation?
Colonic irrigation is a procedure for removing waste and toxins from the bowel. It is also known as colonic hydrotherapy. It can remove traces of feces and other waste products and identify worms or parasites living in your gut, which proponents of this procedure believe can poison the body if allowed to remain. Colonic irrigation is offered as an alternative therapy and there is no real medical evidence to prove that it is effective. However, some people believe it can help with conditions including bloating, flatulence, irritable bowel syndrome (IBS), fatigue, allergies, indigestion, constipation, and back pain. There is no special preparation for colonic irrigation. You will talk to the therapist and answer questions about your medical history and then you will have a brief rectal examination before the procedure begins. You lie on your side on the table and warm water is passed into your bowel through a tube inserted in your rectum. This water circulates through your colon and encourages your bowel to empty itself. Waste products are then passed out of the body through the same tube. After about 10 minutes, you lie on your back while the therapist gently massages your abdomen to help the process along. The whole procedure takes about 40 to 45 minutes. You may be given some probiotics, which contain beneficial bacteria (to replace the ones you just lost) that help to keep your digestive system healthy. They may be inserted into the rectum or taken as tablets. Colonic irrigation is an alternate therapy and costs from $150.00 to $400.00
An enema is (usually) a medical procedure used for clearing the bowel and colon of fecal matter. The enema introduces liquid, usually water and sodium bicarbonate or sodium phosphate, by means of a bulb or enema bag, into the anus and thus to the bowel and lower colon. This tends to stimulate the bowel to release fecal matter.
Colonics involve multiple infusions of water into the colon. Enemas involve a single infusion of water into the colon.
Colonics cleanse the entire length of the colon. Enemas cleanse the lower part of the colon.
With colonics, fecal matter leaves the body via a tube. The client does not see or smell the fecal matter during the session.
At the end of the Enema session, the client usually sits on a toilet, and usually passes any residual water and stools.

Glycerin acts as a lubricant and a mild irritant and stimulates the muscles of the intestine, causing it to contract. The contractions help to move the stools along and makes passing them out of the body much easier.

How can you get a tampon unstuck from your rectum?
This depends on how far up your rectum the tampon is. If you can reach in and pull it out, then do that. To make it a bit easier, you could try lubricating your rectum (kitchen oil should work fine, but body or massage oil might be preferable) - just pour the lubricant into your rectum, and hopefully you should be able to pull it out without much trouble. However, if the tampon is so far up your rectum that you cannot easily pull it out, go to your local emergency room and have them remove it for you. Either way, you're likely to have a sore rectum for a few days.
