National Institute on Age Page: Constipation Constipation is a symptom, not a disease. It is defined as having fewer bowel movements than usual, with a long or hard passing of stools. Older people are more likely than younger people to have constipation. But experts agree that older people often worry too much about having a bowel movement every day. There is no right number of daily or weekly bowel movements. Regularity may mean bowel movements twice a day for some people or just twice a week for others. Questions to Ask Some doctors suggest asking these questions to decide if you are really constipated. Do you often have fewer than three bowel movements each week? Do you often have a hard time passing stools? Is there pain? Are there other problems such as bleeding? If the answers are yes, you probably do have a problem. Otherwise, you probably do not. What Causes Constipation? Doctors do not always know what causes this problem. Eating a poor diet, drinking too little, or misusing laxatives can be causes. Some medicines can lead to constipation. These include some antidepressants, antacids containing aluminum or calcium, antihistamines, diuretics, and antiparkinsonism drugs. The role of diet. People may become constipation if they start eating fewer vegetables, fruits, and whole grains. These foods are all high in fiber, and, according to some studies, high-fiber diets can help prevent constipation. Eating more high-fat meats, dairy products, and eggs can be another cause of constipation. So can eating more rich desserts and other sweets high in refined sugars.

Although I have had cats for most of my life I just paid attention to loving them-never worried about their diet or what they drank-they lived long lives. Bromelain as a supplement might help ease the problem of furballs, besides sinus problems because of its anti inflammatory properties. The only basic I have learned about kitty cats is that you can't give them enough love. If you cat is prone to illness, switching to high quality food helps immensely. Anything that supports their immune system. Shallow glass water dishes are the safest. Who would ever have thought that plastic being hard to clean might create the feline acne seen in some cats? Who would have thought that some of those imported ceramic dishes would have toxins leech into the water? or metallic bowls give the water a tainted taste besides also getting into the water? or distilled water eliminating vital minerals? Dogs fast when sick How many of us know that kitty cats can get fatty liver disease, especially if they are obsese if they skip a few meals?

References Physician and Appointment Information FEEDBACK FORM please fill out this feedback form or send us e-mail about this tutorial What is encopresis? When somebody suffers from encopresis it means that he or she can't control their bowel movements and so they pass bowel movements in their underwear. Sometimes people use the words "soiling" or "fecal incontinence" to mean the same thing. What causes encopresis? In most cases, encopresis develops as a result of long-standing constipation. The vast majority of of children suffering from encopresis have a history of constipation or a history of passing large and/or painful bowel movements. In many cases, the child or the parents do not recall the constipation since it was so long ago. With constipation and painful bowel movements, children may not completely empty themselves when they go to the bathroom. Over a long period of time the large intestine slowly fills with stool and stretches out of shape. As the large intestine stretches larger and larger, liquid stool from the small intestine begins to "leak" around the more formed stool in the colon. In the beginning, this leakage is usually small amounts that streak or stain the underwear and most parents just assume their child isn't wiping him or herself very well.

constipation By Dr. Karen Wolfe, MBBS, MA Constipation is a condition in which a person's bowel movements become uncomfortable or less frequent than usual. Acute constipation begins suddenly and noticeably. Chronic constipation may begin slowly and last for months or years. What is going on in the body? The role of the digestive system is to extract nutrients from the food a person eats and prepare the leftover material for disposal. This leftover material passes through at least 20 feet of intestine before being stored temporarily in the colon, where water is removed. Finally, this fecal residue is excreted as a bowel movement. The frequency of bowel movements considered normal varies from person to person. "Normal" may range from movements 3 times a day to 3 times a week. Constipation is not an illness, but it may be a symptom of another problem. What are the signs and symptoms of the condition? A person who is constipated may have: infrequent bowel movements hard stools difficulty passing stool pain passing stool a feeling that the bowel is not completely empty a bloated feeling after eating headaches What are the causes and risks of the condition?

There are several unauthorized, plagiarized versions out there that do not give credit to this page's author, and which are incomplete. Do not be fooled by imitations! Poop Photo Gallery! What is poop made of? About 3/4 of your average turd is made of water. Of course, this value is highly variable - the water content of diarrhea is much higher, and the amount of water in poop that has been retained (voluntarily or otherwise) is lower. Water is absorbed out of fecal material as it passes through the intestine, so the longer a turd resides inside before emerging, the drier it will be. Of the remaining portion of the turd, about 1/3 is composed of dead bacteria. These microcorpses come from the intestinal garden of microorganisms that assist us in the digestion of our food. Another 1/3 of the turd mass is made of stuff that we find indigestible, like cellulose, for instance. This indigestible material is called "fiber," and is useful in getting the turd to move along through the intestine, perhaps because it provides traction. The remaining portion of the turd is a mixture of fats such as cholesterol, inorganic salts like phosphates, live bacteria, dead cells and mucus from the lining of the intestine, and protein. Why does poop stink?

FDA Talk Papers are prepared by the Press Office to guide FDA personnel in responding with consistency and accuracy to questions from the public on subjects of current interest. Talk Papers are subject to change as more information becomes available. Media Inquiries: 301-827-6242 July 24, 2002 Consumer Inquiries: 888-INFO-FDA FDA APPROVES FIRST TREATMENT FOR WOMEN WITH CONSTIPATION-PREDOMINANT IRRITABLE BOWEL SYNDROME The Food and Drug Administration (FDA) today announced the approval of Zelnorm tablets (tegaserod maleate). This drug is the first to receive FDA-approval for short-term treatment of women with irritable bowel syndrome (IBS) whose primary bowel symptom is constipation. The safety and effectiveness of Zelnorm in men have not been established. Zelnorm increases the movement of stools (fecal matter) through the bowels. Zelnorm does not cure IBS, nor does it treat diarrhea-predominant IBS. Zelnorm reduces pain and discomfort in the abdominal area, and reduces bloating and constipation. FDA based its decision to approve Zelnorm on the results of three randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled clinical studies each lasting 12 weeks.

Eighteen million Americans, women twice as often as men, feel constipated on a regular basis. When your stool is hard, infrequent, and requires significant effort to pass, you have constipation.

Now that I control my constipation I feel younger and have more energy. My skin is clearer and I need less sleep." - Sue Perkins When the colon is clean we experience feelings of well-being, good health and more energy. The colon is in effect the sewage system of the body and like any garbage retainer it is susceptible to stagnation, rotting, and the build up of poisonous substances. If constipation is unchecked, the decay is not limited to the intestines. The poisons that build up in the intestinal track are reabsorbed causing fatigue, irritability, weakness, lack of ambition, bad breath, bloating, flatulence etc.

So you are constipated. If you just stop to think a minute. (pause) Along with the constipation comes stomach bloating, poor digestion, gas, fatigue, weight gain, excessive mucus, poor concentration, headaches, poor skin, poor memory, depression, body odor, bad breath and often feeling of depression. Do you lack energy? The human body is complex machine which must be kept in tune to run at peak efficiency. If you car was plugged up with old oil and slug it would run poorly and have a lack of power. The human body when plugged up, lacks energy and in some cases shows symptoms of more serious problem such as depression. Curing you constipation or just cleaning your system from time to time will increase your energy. If you have had a lack of energy for a long time you may begin to think that it is normal and forget what it feels like to truly feel good. As you age your ability to process food becomes less efficient. People who continue to eat as they did when you were younger will tend to feel tired only because their body is unable to process the food they have eaten quickly enough. For some people just making a improvement in their diet will make them look and feel younger. Your body changes as it ages and you must learn to adjust to these changes.
