WTF is wrong with my gut?

---

For the past week almost I've had terrible bowel problems. As soon as I eat I feel my stomach hurt and soon after I get the urge to defecate. It seems I'm about to take a really big shit but all that comes out is a tiny little string. Sometimes I get a thick, muddy goo that comes out instead or sometimes I just shit clear-yellow mucus. Other times it's like "solid diarrhrea" or like a "mud-pie" almost. I also feel like I have gas all the time yet I can't expel it no matter how much I try.I have tried taking peptol bismol tablets and all they do nothing except turn my stringy shits black. I also tried eating yogurt but no help.Yesterday I ate a thin-crust pizza, yogurt w/ granola, and a 14-oz rare steak w/ broccoli and mashed potatoes. Today I just had a bagel with cream cheese so far. I think my diet is somewhat normal and I'm not eating any differently.Please help me, what is wrong with me? and i can't go to a doctor

Something seems wrong, but I think it won't be possible to find out what without going to the doctor and probably a barium X-ray. If this keeps up, especially the pain or the mucus, you must get to the doctor.It does seem to me that your diet could do with more fruit and vegetables. It seems a bit low on fibre, not to mention vitamin C.

sounds a lot like salmonella or, at the worst, norwalk virus.Both of which will pass on their own. "shittin through the eye of a needle" is your body's way of getting rid of the bugMy family and I all had norwalk a few years ago. It went away in a couple days.Here's a TMI for you though... I had it so bad that I would drink a glass of cold water and then have cold diarrhea because everything was going through so damn fast!

Well I went on a wknd trip and when I got back I had a huge shit and I feel a little more empty but I noticed little globs of blood in the feces on the toilet paper. I'm just going to pretend I didn't see that and ride this one out.

been there, done that, only The town I lived in had gotten cow shit in the water supply and 95% of the town, doctors included, all had giardia , all at once. I was in jr high and will never forget the experience.In addition to my past, I have a question.OP (fucked if I recall who posted this shit (pun intended) to begin with but WL sticks in my head) You wipe and had blood on the paper, was it red or black?Red indicates bleeding very near the exit hole and is more likely to be less worrisome. black blood indicates a problem deeper in the gut, should never be ignored.Most times after being sick and you get red blood on the shit ticket its your asshole being raw from wiping every minutes.

The blood was red not black but I was shitting a black slime which I attributed to overuse of peptol bismol tablets.Last night I ate a casserole with mushrooms, peas, carrots, beef, potatoes and I had some more of it today. Ten minutes later I had an urge to shit and I could easily notice solid whole pieces of mushrooms, carrots, and peas in the toilet. If I had plucked them out of the toilet, rinsed them off, and served them to someone they probably could not have noticed anything out of the ordinary. As gross as it sounds, that's how it actually looks. Fuck I might a well just shit on a dinner plate and give it to someone I don't like.What I don't know is if that was from the leftover food I had 5 minutes earlier or the original meal over 12 hrs ago. Can food really pass through that fast?I don't feel sick otherwise, just sometimes I get an urge to shit and only a string comes out, other times I feel extremely gassy and am able to shit out prob. 5 lbs of sludge and I feel somewhat empty afterward, and now I'm seeing the food come out looking no different than it did going in....WTF

you eat food and food comes out whole?this is easy to fix!just eat shit.

Yeah sounds like a plan.

It won't stop. I am in so much pain. I can press down on my lower abdomen and hear all sorts of gurgling sounds when I do that. No matter how hard I push all I get is just shit on the toilet paper but nothing in the bowl. Even when I shit, 20 min later I get the urge to go again and just a fucking rice sized pellet comes out. Fuck life, fuck shit.

Thats nearly 2 weeks now.
If I were you, I think I woudl be heading to see a doc.
I had a friend who had the same shit as you, she ended up wtih an ulcer.
You had been eating pepto tablets, Ever stop taking them? Could be they are plugging you up and your now in need of a laxative to counter the effects?
You are to the point, if it were me, Id seek help from someone who knows what they are doing and stop fucking around on a website.

+1Any prolonged abnormality with the digestive system shouldn't be questioned. It's a sign that a doctor visit is absolutely necessary. I would make an appointment first thing in the morning.

I agree. It's possible there may be an obstruction. This should now be considered as urgent.

well i guess i'm just gonna die then because i'm under my parents insurance and they refuse to let me go to the doctor for anything other than a checkup because if i ever think i have anything they just tell me im a hypochondriac.

is there anything else i can try? laxatives? i still have normal movements sometimes so it cant be a complete obstruction right?

Certainly not a complete obstruction, but I don't know.

Are you in school? You could go to the school nurse and ask if he/she will recommend that you see a doctor. That may help persuade your parents.

Isn't anyone here an internet doctor?I told my mom but she just gave me some herbal shit and i also drank 4 tbsp of milk of magnesia not too long ago.i did have a bowel movement about the thickness of a magic marker but it was smooth and looked like brown play-dough, all homogenous. I did have some gas earlier but i always feel constant pressurealso, with an obstruction dont you vomit up shit?

just go to the doctor! tell your parents that you need to go.

If I was writhing on the floor in desperate need of a kidney transplant, they would just tell me to take a fucking asprin. If I had my arm turn off by an industrial thresher they would just give me a band-aid. No one is more jewier than my parents.I told my mom I was worried my colon was tied in a knot or something and she said that was just a "worst case scenario" and I was just "imagining the worst." Well I took the milk of magnesia and this morning as soon as I woke up I had 20 min worth of burning diarrhea. Why does it burn so much? I didn't eat anything spicy. Then a little later I shit some more and it was solid but my gut still aches.So I guess it was nice knowing all of you because I might as well be on death row now cause my colon is gonna rupture at any moment now and I will die.
