Actually, IBS has to do with irregular muscle contractions, and it is not true that it's not a real condition.

Another thing: many people have lactose intolerance but don't know it. Taking Lactaid tablets (available at any grocery or drug store) with dairy foods will help that.

Everyone should have a colonoscopy to rule out cancer of the colon, too.
Your doctor will probably have you go through with a barium enema in order to help with diagnosis. Having had to do so, I feel for those who have to go through it. It's not pleasant, and quite honestly, if a doctor told me to go through that again, I think I'd rather die.
Cilia is a hair like cell in your body, mainly in your lungs protecting you from debris from the air. These little hair like cells protect your lungs by carrying debris from your lungs and back up to be swallowed and destroyed by the powerful stomach acids in your body. The mucus lining in the respirator tract helps collect debris, bacteria and mucous away from the lungs.
How does the small intestine fit into the body?
Well,the best way to explain it is to imagine alot of sting crushed up into a ball shape. The string takes up less space because its twisted around each other,thus taking up less space.The small intestine fits into the body since its so tightly wound!
What is it called when feces pass out of the body?
The unconscious peristalsis of the large intestine helps move faeces along until it reaches the rectum. At that point, you feel the urge to defecate, and you consciously press on the muscles surrounding the rectum to move the feces out of your body.
A pinworm can be caused by biting (or chewing) your fingernails when they are dirty. The pinworm (Genus Enterobius) is a parasitic roundworm. The adult pinworm male is 1-4 mm in length, while the adult female is 8-13 mm. The human pinworm is commonly found in children. The pinworm lives in the lower part of the small intestine and the upper part of the colon. It is found worldwide, and causes the most common infection enterobiasis in humans. It being estimated that over 200 million people are infected annually. After mating, the male dies. The female migrates to the anus and emerges, usually during the night, to deposit about 10,000 to 20,000 eggs in the perianal area (around the anus). She then secretes a substance which causes a very strong itching sensation, inciting the host to scratch the area and thus transfer some of the eggs to the fingers. Eggs can also be transferred to cloth, toys, and the bathtub. Once ingested orally, the larvae hatch and migrate back to the intestine, growing to maturity in 30-45 days. The eggs can survive for 2 to 3 weeks on their own outside of the human body. In some cases, the larvae will hatch in the peri-anal area and travel back inside the anus, up the rectum, and back into the intestines where they mature.
Anti-pinworm drugs are available, but only kill the adult pinworms not the eggs. One may have to get treated for weeks to get rid of the pinworms and it is a safe practice to treat the entire family of people for pinworms.
How long can you live without a bowel movement?
- Constipation is defined as having less than three bowel movements per week. In a healthy system, there should be a bowel movement shortly after every meal. As for how long a person can go without a bowel movement and when this becomes life-threatening, that I do not know.
- Some doctors feel that a person should have at least 2 - 3 bowel movements per day, while others feel once is enough or once to twice every two days. It depends on the individuals diet (lots of fiber and 8 - 8 ounce glasses of water per day) should be taken.
- If a person is not having a bowel movement by the third or forth day it can be considered 'impacted' and you may have to go to the ER. Eight to 10 days is certainly getting serious and it's almost like a sewer system backing up because your body is not getting rid of toxins.
This answer is the best answer to this question!!!! I truly am amazed!!!! Depends. However, you should see a doctor if it starts hurting. This is only when you are actually pooping out blood which is because you have strained your hemmoroid. It is completely normal but try to not push too much when you want to poop since it will scratch your inner anus. Try to eat more greens and vegetables and drink a lot of water. Remember stop pushing too hard!!!
Piles usually indicate that you are straining or having some difficulty going to the toilet, a fibre suppliment or increasing your intake of fruit and vegetables should help with the digestive problems that may lead to other problems in later life. There are also many over the counter creams to help shrink the pile size.
farts come from your butt and they smell good . pudding helps you to fart and anything chocolatea also works to
Why is the small intestine so much longer then the large intestine?
The large intestine isn't "smaller" than the small intestine -- it's shorter. Digestion takes place in the small intestine therefore more surface area is needed for nutrient absorption. The primary role of the large intestine is to absorb water along with a few nutrients and to form and transport stool.
They are called Villi.

Why does one bleed from the rectum?
If its fresh blood after you have passed faeces then it's likely to be piles. If you have been constipated and have strained yourself, you may also just be sore and may see blood when you wipe yourself. If the blood is old and very dark, you may be bleeding further inside your stomach. You need to get this investigated by your doctor promptly.
What foods can make you fart other than beans?
Bbeans have little protein in them the real reason that it happens, the sugars that are in beans are a little bit too big for the small intestine to absorb through its walls. making it travel to the large intestine where all the bacteria thrive in your body. the break down the sugar and die , reproduce ect. this process creates gas.
What is a normal bowel movement?
A bowel movement is the actions of the terminal colon and rectum that help to push the stool out when you defecate. It consists of four steps:
- First there are constrictions of the colon that push stool down to the terminal colon and rectum.
- Then constrictions around the stool elevates the pressure so that you feel an urge to defecate.
- The sphincter muscles around your anus will relax to ease the defecation.
- Then there are constrictions that make the feces go out.
The bovel movement is primarily an automatic action.
The movement of the stool can however be blocked for some time with voluntary contraction of the anal spincter muscles.
When you defecate you will also typically use your abdominal muscles to make pressure and thus aid the defecation process. This is partly a voluntarily controlled action and is not a part of the bowel movement as such.
