Is Ibuprofen a good medicine for hemorrhoids?
Speaking only from personal experience, ibuprofen is not good for treating hemorrhoids. I rarely suffered from any hemorrhoid discomfort before using ibuprofen. Having taking only one dose of ibuprofen daily for a short time for back pain, the ibuprofen actually seemed to cause hemorrhoids! After stopping the ibuprofen, the hemorrhoids went away. Thinking this to be coincidental, I tried the ibuprofen again as it works well for my back pain. But the hemorrhoids returned. So, at least for me, ibuprofen is not helpful for hemorrhoids.

What causes white stools and diahreah?
Speaking to my local vet, white stools from dogs (rarely seen these days) were due to eating bones. Remember when we used to go to local butchers instead of supermarkets and they used to give them out for free? As bones cannot be digested and together with high amounts of calcium and marrow, dog stools turned white! If this same problem is happening to anyone you know, I'd get them to seriously look into their diet - or visit the doctor ASAP.

Why are the small intestines very long How does it help it do its function?
The small intestines are very long, typically measuring about 20 feet in adults, which maximizes the surface area available for nutrient absorption. This extensive length allows for more time and space to digest food and absorb essential nutrients, as the process of breaking down food and transferring nutrients into the bloodstream requires both time and contact with the intestinal walls. Additionally, the inner lining of the small intestines is covered with villi and microvilli, further increasing surface area and enhancing absorption efficiency. Overall, the length of the small intestines is crucial for effective digestion and nutrient uptake.

What is the difference between a Bisacodyl enema and a saline enema?
A bisacodyl enema is a pre-packaged mini-enema that contains 1.25 oz of liquid and 10mg of bisacodyl. Bisacodyl is a stimulant laxative and acts by causing contractions of the colon muscles. The small volume allows the enema to be comfortably retained for the amount of time necessary for the bisacodyl to act inside the colon, usually within 15 minutes or so and is nice and cramp producing!!
A pre packaged saline enema contains a mixture of water and sodium phosphate and is 4oz for the pre-packaged enemas (like Fleets)
large volume enemas where a small amount of salt is mixed with warm water (a teaspoon per 1000ml) is far better than the nasty Fleet sodium phosphate enema. Better for you and more cleansing.

What happens when a hemorrhoid bursts?
When a hemorrhoid bursts, a person will often find blood in the stool or on the toilet paper. Sometimes a burst hemorrhoid can cause infection or even bleeding that requires surgery.
The small intestine is where most chemical digestion takes place. Most of the digestive enzymes that act in the small intestine are secreted by the pancreas and enter the small intestine via the pancreatic duct. The enzymes enter the small intestine in response to the hormone cholecystokinin, which is produced in the small intestine in response to the presence of nutrients. The hormone secretin also causes bicarbonate to be released into the small intestine from the pancreas in order to neutralize the potentially harmful acid coming from the stomach.
This is a chicken and egg answer. Usually problems with the gut can cause anxiety in the first place through low serotonin production and bacterial imbalance. However external stressors can also produce anxiety/stress, which in turn makes the bacterial and serotonin situation worse, causing even more anxiety. By lowering stress and anxiety through meditation, chi gong, breath exercises, yoga or any other calming activity, healing will start to take place and feelings of anxiety will likely lessen. Also, healing the gut through nutrition or taking allergens/sensitivities and sugar out of the diet can also ease anxiety.
