I'm 22 years old as of july, and i'm
really not in the best condition of my
life. I'm overweight and I realize that I
eat consistent amounts of
junkfood...Greasy crap, etc; because of
this I believe i've developed ibs
(irritable bowel syndrome) but i'm way too
nervous and embarrassed to go to a doctor
about it.
On top of that, I know that I have
hemrhoids too.
My question is, about 5 days or probably
more ago I ate some really spicy homemade
burritos. Because of this, i've had
nothing but watery/diarhea stools since
then. I tried to take fiber pills, and
drank benefiber today and i'm kind of
still waiting for the results....Except an
hour ago, when I went to the
bathroom...The stool was still watery with
small chunks of soft stool in it.
I'm rather nervous because i've never had
diarhea this long before. When it comes
out, it comes out really acidicly. And my
anus will burn for hours so I usually end
up taking a shower after I do these bowel
movements. As I said before, i've never
had diarhea this long before and I was
wondering if this might be
life-threatening.
There's no blood in my stool. If
anything, I was wondering if maybe it
might've been because i've really been
stressed out/nervous lately about it. I
get nervous about it non-stop....That it
might be something bad. I thought maybe
my nervousness was causing the diarhea.
Does anyone have any answers? I don't
have insurance, I don't have benefits, and
I don't have any money. So i'd have to
end up going to the er at a hospital and
paying 300 dollar bills for a check-up and
prescription.
Should I wait and see if this goes away in
another week?

I totally understand about being a
junk-food-junky chocolate, salty and
greasy foods used to be part of my 5 basic
food groups and then my stomach started
messing up, I started feeling yucky, no
energy, I knew what was wrong, so I
started exercising, joined a gym, started
watching what I ate and now I feel better,
kind of like the new me.
In regards to having diahrea(sp) runs,
whatever, I do not know where you live but
walmart has a equate product called
anti-diarhrea that really helps a lot of
people. Of course I am no dr and if the
problem continues you might think of going
to the dr just to get checked over and
just kind of back off slowly of the
junk-food and once in a while is o.K. And
be careful of spicy hot foods, I cannot
even eat spicy foods as I have had
galbladder sugery.
Good luck to you!

I may have the solution to your problem,
but it depends on whether you are willing
to listen to me.
I have a lady friend who was previously
85kg, used to be low confident and
pessisimistic. She lost 26kg within 2
months!! With a holistic lifestyle and
diet. "holistic concerns not only the
physical well being, but mentally as well.
If you are not determined to lose weight,
you will never lose it. She developed a
strong mindset, that's why she managed to
accomplish it!
I think she's the best person to be able
to share with you on this topic.
You know something about us humans,
generally asians ( I read somewhere).
When we have stress or problems, we tend
to use food as comfort for us. We eat!
We eat and eat and eat! That's why colon
cancer is one of the most prominent cancer
in not only singapore but asia. Because
asian's love to eat! Have feast etc.
If you are interested in how my friend
lost 26kg in 2 months, just email me @ ann
