LOL! sorry i misunderstood you as far as getting good and regular bowel movements, i don't really think it matters where you get your fiber from, food or supplements. however you'll get all sorts of other good benefits from good food, so try to go that route, or do a combination.

Abdominal Pain & Rectel Bleeding
-
Ok now, its been one two weeks now? Well now the stools are always soft. But I still go from 2-3 days with some rectel bleeding ( keep in mind my age group... ) Thanks lots.
-
Time to go see a gastreologist... as for the age group you're talking about I was diagnosed with Crohns Disease when I was 17, so being young doesn't really matter.

I think I have a similar problem to you, our abdominal pains sound the same, I dont have rectal bleeding. Somtimes theres a steak of blood occasionally in one of large hard craps, mainly all I can do are turds unless i let pressure build up, then I get the big painful kind. My doctor told me to take Fibercons(doing 3 a day right now), they dont seem to be helping. I need to get back to him, right now I'm scared as shit since im like a mega hypochondriac, I convince myself all I need will be some stool softener but then I think of death and then I become fixated on the fact I might(the chances are so slim though its stupid to even worry) have cancer:( I really hope its not serious

Large stools can cause you to have blood on them. Your intestines and anus is rather soft tissue and can be scratched by hard stools that pass through. Does your diet include a lot of nuts or other foods that doesn't digest quite well and can be scratchy when passing? If so, you may want to avoid those.This of it this way. A girl's vagina can bleed if a guy is fingering her and scratches it. The vagina is soft tissue, much like the anus.
-
If you do eat nuts and seeds, you really need to chew them very, very well. I chew sunflower seeds for at least 2 minutes. Although this new bread I've been eating has sunflower and other seeds baked into it, and I tend not to chew them so well when they're combined with the bread. Perhaps that is why I have found some blood on the toilet paper lately, though it didn't really concern me seeing as I've had it before, (I can tell that it's very small cuts around the anus opening).
-
For those of you eating the shells of sunflower seeds, you're not supposed to.
-
I don't eat the shells. The seeds I eat are already hulled and in a packet, it's just that they take a long time to chew and break down properly, for me at least. If I don't chew them enough they don't get digested.

Drink Plenty of Bottle water. No artificial: sweeteners, soft drinks, no juices at all unless you get it right from the fruits. Don't miss breakfast. No kellogs nothing! Eat old fashioned oat meal cooked slow. Use no aluminum or coated pots to cook in. Keep fresh veggies and fruits in you.No bacon or cured meats, just deli meats. No canned goods. No white bread, cakes, white sugar. Eat like a rabbit.Get Cod liver oil from GNC (bottle). Good luck.
