Your Questions About Diverticulitis Poop

Paul asks…
I have bloody red faeces/poop but it doesn’t hurt?
I am a little worried about my health right now. It all began 4 days ago when a woke up in bed and decided not to get up after 4 hours have past.(I woke up at 10am and got up at 2pm) This meant that did not have breakfast or lunch till 2pm.
When I eventually got up, I decided to eat. After an hour later I decided to go to the toilet to excrete my waste( poo).
I felt nothing at all as I wiped by bottom then all of a sudden I felt something liquidy so I turned and looked at the toliet paper and it was blood! I looked down the toilet bowl and I found a lot of blood. I was really scared to see lots of it coming out of my bottom. After washing myself I decided to go do some research on the net and found out that I might have either Diverticulitis or gastrointestinal hemorrhage.
From what I have learned from some people who had Qs on the net about the same problem that I had they reported on feeling pain along with the bloody poop. However I did not have the same experiences that they had.
4 days have passed since that had happened and I have felt nothing weird at all but just around today I went to the toilet and had the same experience again! So I’m really scared now.
Can anyone tell me what has caused this to happen to me?
-Bloody poop
-no pain
-I do fast a little. Not as in like anorexic but I only eat breakfast and I never eat any lunch when I go outside. When I get home from school that’s when I eat.

Jill answers:
Sorry to hear that but I suggest you go see your doctor right away. Blood outside the body is not good except in menstruation. It is better to get it checked out sooner rather than later as a quicker diagnosis can prevent further damage OR if it turns out to be nothing serious you will have saved yourself a lot of worry.
If you don’t want to see your normal local GP you can find an NHS walk-in centre here:
http://www.nhs.uk/servicedirectories/pages/servicesearch.aspx?ServiceType=urgent
Just type in your post code and it will find the nearest one to you. It’s under emergencies and urgent care.
Or you can just ring up NHS Direct and ask them what to do. Go here:

Richard asks…
Very thin long green stools and frequent urge to defecate(poop)?
HELLO Yahoo. I am a 16 year old underweight male. I have been straining for the past two months because I was constipated. Well since five days ago, I had been getting frequent urges to empty my bowels but would only release gas. Sometimes a very long green stool would come out. Sizes range from pinky-thin to thumb-thick. Sometimes, after waking up, there would be pain on the left side of my abdomen and sometimes right. I would feel very bloated after eating.
I’m very worried. Could these be signs of colon cancer or diverticulitis?

George asks…
my surgeon has cancelled my hysterectomy three times now. Can she be sued for neglecting my health?
This same surgeon has scheduled me three times for a total abdominal hysterectomy and has cancelled three times for various “excuses” she finds. the first time was because she felt she could not do the surgery herself, the second time was because(and I was nine minutes into going back to the OR) nobody told me I needed a bowel prep, the third time was because the bowel prep was not working as well(it did later that night) due to severe pelvic pain,straining and vomiting. Now she refuses to do this much needed surgery at all! I was told my uterus is necrotic and my pain liable to get worse if I don’t have the uterus and cervix completely removed. 4 other gynes agree but this one was more equipped to handle the surgery being she is also an oncologist and gynecology surgeon. But she just keeps giving me excuses and says “yes you have a problem which won’t improve”. I can’t pee or poop at all due to my uterus pressing on things and have repeatedly been in the ER for intractable pain and spasms. I need to cath and my BMs require manual removal which she totally acknowledges the uterus IS the problem but her excuses continue and my health is just getting worse!! Can I sue? Her excuses range from a few adhesions to so called diverticulitis(I don’t think I have this and she won’t do any tests to find out, only excuses).
without the hysterectomy, I will die as my uterus is necrotizing and have many tests to prove it is and surgery is needed.

Jill answers:
You can sue anybody for anything
You can spit into the wind.

Ruth asks…
Having Stomach Issues, Throwing up, constant nausea only when standing up not when laying down so much?
I am wondering if anyone else has had these symptoms before in their life. Back in December (about 11 Months ago) my stomach started really really hurting early in the morning and I would get up and I would start throwing up every single morning. This lasted for about 3 months while i went in and out of Doctors, Gastrologists, and ER’s…
It finally went away after about another 2 months…(I started smoking pot which really helped a lot)…anyways I have quit since for the most part (except for last night) and my stomach issues started coming up again. This time its a little different though. Before my stomach would hurt all day, and now it hurts in the morning and then goes away by afternoon after taking nothing…I went to the doctor twice now and they have prescribed me the following:
* Zofran
* Xanax
* Levsin
* Zegerid
PS. My mom died a couple of months ago and I am only 22…we were best friends and it really didnt affect me after a few days, but once i started feeling sick again, i lost it and started having panic attacks 5-10 times per day where i cant stop my breathing and there is lots of crying.
I really just want to feel better. I don’t like feeling like this because I can concentrate on whatever I am doing at the time. If there is anyone out there that has been through something similar or if there is a doctor on here that could possibly give me some hints as to whats wrong because I have heard everything from Diverticulitis – Stomach Cancer – Stress – Anxiety/Stress and a plethora of others like constipation and what not.
Thanks you very much for taking the time to read this.

Oh ya, I haven’t been having diarrhea until this morning when I went to the bathroom…it looked like my poop was Black…which I have heard is not good…but it was black and green…so I don’t know…Anyways. all I have been able to eat is Jello (red) Gatorade (blue), one piece of toast, I got stoned last night and ate a small piece of pizza only because I hadn’t eaten anything in two day…and one of those frozen pops.
I have diabetes in my family, some heart problems, I lead a pretty sedentary lifestyle although recently I have been trying to change that.
Again thank you…and my stomach is feeling better…a little better after taking those combinations minus the Zegerid cause I was told to take it when I am feeling better.

Jill answers:
Hmm. It sounds like the doctors think it’s all in your head — that it’s depression and stress over you mom’s passing away. I’m not sure that’s true. It probably is, if all this started AFTER she died. If it DID, this is your body’s way of dealing with feelings you try to ignore — making you feel you’ve lost control of your life. The panic attacks, etc. Are related to this type stress. You MAY even have given yourself an ulcer by worrying so much.
As for the nausea, there are a number of things that cause it. People get nauseous when the haven’t eaten in a while, and their blood sugar drops suddenly. They get nausea as a side effect to meds; or because they’re ill. A weird reason is due to consipation. If you can’t go for more than 2 days, you have it. What that means, is that your colon is so impacted it can no longer absorb anything you eat. That alone would account for the throwing up. That happened to me, and all I DID was throw up.
It’s like taking a tube, and filling it up, then packing it down till it’s solid, and still trying to put more in. It won’t go, so anything you try just comes back out. Your body has an accending colon, and a descending colon; the descending colon uses the anal canal [attached to your rectum] in order to remove it’s waste buildup. When this process gets impacted, a person is nausous until the problem is fixed, ususally by an enema ordered by a doctor, or by taking laxatives.
The laxatives gave me diarrehea, but with the blockage finally gone, the nausea and throwing up went away. That MAY be your problem where the throwing up is concerned.
As for the no eating, try drinking a chocolate ENSURE protein drink. They come in small bottles, and taste best when really cold. And stay away from the vanilla flavor — it tastes gross. Hopefully, it will help settle your stomach as it did mine. My nausea and pain was due to the side effects I got from chemotherapy. I had no interest in food, even though I was starving. The IDEA of being able to eat was there, but actually EATING made me nauseous. YOURS sounds more stress-related.
If you feel a little better after moving your bowels along [colon function], then try eating a little soup. Add a slice of bread with peanut butter on it, toast, or just eat the peanut butter. Peanut butter also has the protein your body needs. Forget the jello, all it is, is sugar. Also, drink a lot of water if you can. Your body and blood need water in order to survive, especially your blood. Water also washing any toxins in your body away by flushing out your kidneys.
As for the crying, etc., that is because you are depressed over your mom. Try saying prayers; going to her grave site and tallking to her — leave a favorite flower there — then go places the 2 of you went, and remind yourself WHY the 2 of you liked it. Any time you feel food will make the pain of losing her go away, push those thoughts aside. Take up walking as exercise instead. Mainly because after 20 minutes or so, your body releases endorphines from exercise, that makes a person feel more relaxed. I hope some of this helps. It helped me. Especially the protein drink and exercise.

James asks…
Is this a STD? Did she give it to me? Should I tell her?
i have been having weird symptoms for 3 months now. It started with a discharge from my penis ONLY when I poop. Its only at the end of my peeing. and only then. it looks almost like semen. I then started getting pain near my pelvic bones lower abdomen area, and also left kidney area. i went to PP and they tested me for Ghon and Clym, but they were negative. I waited a week and still had it. I went to a walk in clinic at a hospital nearby. They also tested me for the 2 above and treated just in case. Negative again. i went back and they treated with 2 other anti biotics. nothing changed. The doctors there were stumped. they sent me to a urologist. i told him everything and i noticed a small bump on my shaft too, so i showed it to him. he said the bump was normal and not to worry about it. they diagnosed me with a hutch diverticulum or diverticulitis. i was sent for a ct/cat scan and nothing showed up. negative for that. he told me to go to a physician. i went there and he didn’t really know either after seeing all my negative results. he looked at my penis and i showed him the spot and he said it could be a wart. possibly. he actually looked very suprised that the urologist thought that it was nothing. he gave me aldara and i have been using it, but i havent seen anything change. in fact i noticed like 2 or 3 more of these spots pop up. one looks like a flat wart and it got a little bigger. im scared. i dont deserve this
i have been in relationships my whole life. im 24 and i have had about 7 partners total all for atleast a year. 2 of them 3 yrs plus. in 3 days it will be 1 year with my current gf. i dont know what to say to her. she got the garasil shot last year but was with a lot of people before me. she never said anything about pap’s to me so i assume she is clean. she has absolutely no symptoms at all. i go down all the time on her as she does too. no foul smell or taste, no spots or bumps. since ive seen this i wont do anything with her.
did she cheat on me? or if she doesn’t have it, how could this all of the sudden happen 1 year in our relationship. i dont know how to tell her this. she going to think i cheated. if i tell her there is a chance she might tell someone and then the story will spread because people love to gossip. she’s gonna be grossed out. do i tell her and hope she beleives me or just break up with her, so no one finds out? please help.. any suggestions or ideas are appreciated

Jill answers:
Ask her fkat out if sahe has cheated or break up with im sorry but i havent rlly EVER been in this situation and DONT plan to.

Today, I went to the beach with my kids. I found a sea shell and gave it to my 4 year old daughter and said “You can hear the ocean if you put this to your ear.” She put the shell to her ear and screamed. There was a hermit crab inside and it pinched her ear. She never wants to go back! LoL I know this is entirely off topic but I had to tell someone!
This will be a great website, will you be involved in doing an interview about how you created it? If so e-mail me!

Greetings from Idaho! I’m bored at work so I decided to check out your blog on my iphone during lunch break. I enjoy the knowledge you present here and can’t wait to take a look when I get home. I’m shocked at how quick your blog loaded on my mobile .. I’m not even using WIFI, just 3G .. Anyways, good blog!
Throughout the awesome design of things you actually get an A+ with regard to hard work. Exactly where you actually misplaced us ended up being in all the facts. You know, people say, details make or break the argument.. And it couldn’t be much more accurate here. Having said that, let me say to you exactly what did deliver the results. The authoring is really engaging which is possibly the reason why I am taking the effort in order to opine. I do not really make it a regular habit of doing that. Second, while I can easily notice a leaps in logic you come up with, I am definitely not sure of exactly how you seem to connect the ideas which produce the final result. For now I will, no doubt subscribe to your point but hope in the future you connect your facts better.
nice blog here dude, i envy very much. thanks
