If you could stretch out your small intestine how long would it be?

The small intestine is typically around 20 to 24 feet or about six meters long. It lies below the stomach in the middle of the abdomen, and much of it is coiled and suspended within a thin layer of fat to allow it flexibility and mobility. Also called the small bowel, it is composed of three distinct sections: the duodenum connects the stomach to the rest of the small intestine and is about 25 centimeters (0.25m) long. The jejunum is the central section and is anywhere from 1 to 2 meters long. The ilium bridges the jejunum and the large intestine and is 2 to 3 meters long.

What does it mean when you poop float?

It is actually good that your poop floats, it means you have been eating light foods! Or it could mean it has been in your body a long time... or both!

Also, it could mean you have a lot of air in your digestive system and when you pooped, air got into your poop and that's why it's floating.

In Nursing school I learned that when your poop floats it means that it contains a lot of fat which can be a problem with your liver. Your liver produce secretions that breakdown fat, so if your liver is damaged then your stool will be fatty.

Is a colonoscopy a surgical procedure?

A colonoscopy is not a mandatory procedure as part of a general health exam. However, it is recommended for men and women reaching the age of fifty to have one. A colonoscopy is an examination of the large and small bowel with a fibre-optic camera inserted via the rectum. The procedure need not be painful. Some patients are given tranquillisers in advance and some people actually sleep through the process.

Your GP may have recommended a colonoscopy if you have had symptoms of haemorrhoids or rectal/bowel discomfort. A colonoscopy can remove any existing polyps or colorectal cancer lesions for biopsy, and to determine if they are precancerous.

Why do you fart after eating?

Yes, Pretty Normal and Healthy. Its not the meal that you just ate coming through, in case you were worried. The act of eating, swallowing, etc stimulates the whole length of the digestive tract in all its many parts to start moving, a process called peristalsis. Your gut is quite simply making room for the next stuff to come through.

A little lag is best, from 10 to 40 minutes between eating and pooing.

In a healthy person you should be passing one or more movements per day, preferably at least two, well formed and about the size and shape of a banana. If you are consistently passing loose stools or diarherrea, or constipated, then the chances are you are off balance, or not quite digesting properly.

Hope this answers your question.....

The medical term for this is melena. Conditions causing melena include peptic ulcer disease (gastric or duodenal ulcers), which is the most common cause of melena.

Black stool is just a description of the type of stool that a patient may have. Some times the word tarry is used in conjunction or in place of black, but this is often done incorrectly.

Either of these can could be symptom of a more serious condition and should be referred to your primary health care practitioner.

What is wrong if you only have a Bowel movement every 2 weeks?

It depends on how much you eat, and what you eat. Some people go every day, some go every other day, or every two or three days. You should definitely be going at least twice a week on average.

What's most important is not how often you defecate (poop), but how easy or difficult it is when you do defecate. If you have to push very hard and strain yourself, it's a problem. It's called being "constipated."

Once you sit down on the toilet, you should be able to defecate within 5 minutes. If you can't, then it is likely that you are not eating enough fiber. The roughness of fiber provides traction, making it easier to push the feces out of you. Fiber also makes the feces softer.

If you are consistently constipated, then it is likely that you are not getting enough fiber in your diet. See the Related Question below for a list of high-fiber foods.

If you wish, you can also take a fiber supplement, like Metamucil or Benefiber.

How do you use meth in your rectum?

I have found the best way to administer meth(ICE) in the rectum is with a half inch 1cc 30 gauge insulin needle. Make sure needle itself has been cut off so there is just a small flat hole. A tenth of a gram is normal to start with(0.1 or 0.2). Pull stopper out of syringe, add crystals, replace stopper, gently push to eliminate access air and space, quickly dip opening of the syringe (the small flat hole) into a little cup of water, slowly pull back on the stopper to pull in water to dissolve the crystals. You only want to let in about an equal amount of water to your meth. Too little will not dissolve it fully and too much will weaken your hit and most likely cause you to have a bowel movement before it has had a chance to penetrate your system.Make sure the crystals have fully dissolved before you proceed to insert in rectum. Has a tendency to pinch or poke while trying to insert syringe. Much easier if inserted with a lubricant. This way of use lasts longer than if smoked and doesn't rot your teeth or kill your lungs. It's safer than shooting it up into your veins or even snorting it. If you can get over its bad and embarrassing rep., you'd never do it any other way. Be safe, take care, be clean, and don't forget to be considerate of those around you (children, animals, non-users).

How often should a person have a bowel movement aka poop?

It will vary depending on how often you feed, dog's age, etc. In my home, we have adult dogs and pups. The adults generally make 2 or so bowel movements, and the pups make 3-4, or occasionally more if they've had extra food or their tummies are bugging them.

Will insertion of adderall into the rectum increase it's effects?

1) in general, inserting anything into the anus has some risks and the more often you do it, the more likely you may cause an injury. 2) Adderall is a prescription amphetamine-containing drug; rectal mucosa generally rapidly absorb drugs into the blood stream. "Kiestering" anything not meant as a suppository drug can be dangerous. Adderall is linked to psychotic episodes, so possibly more so. Bad is a judgmental term. It's illegal to insert adderall into your anus; doubly so if you have illegally obtained the drug without a prescription. It's naughty in general to insert anything in your anus, for pleasure or for drug abuse. Naughty isn't always bad...but in this case, the activity should be rethought for safety and health purposes.

How do you stop hemorrhoids from bleeding?

To stop a bleeding hemorrhoid, there are several things a person can try if the bleeding isn't too bad. Try soaking in a warm up for 15 minutes up to 3 times a day. This will help to sooth the irritation. A sitz bath is also helpful as it's another form of soaking the hemorrhoid to sooth irritation. Also try cleaning yourself with moist towels instead of regular toilet paper. If the bleeding doesn't stop, see a doctor immediately.
