They ate grapes and pears a few days ago, and ever since then they’ve both had the most foul smelling yellow diarrhea. They both had a fever the morning after they ate the pears, but it went away quickly and otherwise they act normal (not sick).

My mother in law says they just got cold, but I’m afraid it might be a bacteria or parasite. Anyone have any similiar experience?

She’s had it since Thursday evening. We gave her no food from Friday – Saturday, but she still had diarrhea. We fed her this morning but now she’s just had bad diarrhea again. She isn’t her usual self and she is sleeping a lot. She is 7 years old. What do we do?
Yes, I know to take her to the vet – we are taking her tomorrow. For the moment I was just wondering if there was anything we could do to help her since she isn’t seeing the vet until tomorrow.

Or if you have to, what are you most discreet about?

1. Time of the month
2. Anything relating to bowel movements/diarrhea
3. Colon cleansing
4. Gynecologist appointments
5. Waxing body parts and/or tweezing facial hair

I read years ago that men want to know as little as possible about the above. They know it goes on, but details seem to take away from the sexiness of their wife.

What about you? Any you want to add?

Is diarrhea and bleeding part of the medicine’s cleansing effects?
You know, those Chinese pills.

irritable bowel syndrome____ Do you have cramps?

I have been suffering from this for a very long time. I have seen doctors and have been in the hospital (inflamed large intestine) no surgery but they said if the swelling didn’t go down then they would.

I have sharp stabbing pains on the right side of my stomach that start along side my belly button and shoot straight down. They come and go. Like contractions.

I suffer from this from time to time. It could be months without out any pain and then it flares up again. I think its been about 7 months since this happened and I am suffering from it again. It’s been 2 days now. I have diarrhea also.

Does this sound like Irritable bowel syndrome?
Doctors never told me it was. never said anything.
Though when I was pregnant I had this and thought I was in labor and My doctor then told me he thought it was Irritable Bowel syndrome

Colon Cleansing – I now have diarrhea?

I am taking a product for colon cleansing. The first day was great as I had several normal bowel movements after almost a year of severe constipation. Previously I averaged using the toilet three times a week. Now, the third day into it I have severe diarrhea as well as some anal leakage. Should I continue, take a smaller dose or stop altogether? In case this is relevant I am using a product called OXY-POWDER.
