What could be causing me to have frequent bowel movements?

Ok I am very regular with bowel movements..same time every morning. But today I have been up for about 8 hours and have already had 5 large stools. Its not diarehha, they are soft and formed really long. I havent changed anything in my diet so what could this be? I've also been feeling low n energy and weak..is this because of all the pooping? Im drinking plenty of water but im kinda scared to eat anything for the rest of the day

Is there a simple way to cleanse your colon?

I have heard that cleansing your colon could reduce many everyday ailments( headaches,fatigue, etc). My question is
can this be done only by those products(pills) that are on the market or can it be done through diet? Is there something that can be added to foods to help with removing all of the yuck?

Please do not say go to the doctor, I have no insurance and cannot afford a doctor.The blood is only there when I use the bathroom,however it is enough to drip into the toilet. I already have a pretty stable diet I do not even eat red meat. Can anyone tell me how to cure these. Once again I cannot afford a doctor.

Why are my bowel movements very inconsistent and spread out very few during the week?

A few more tidbits that will help this scenario. I have recently had a fistula and abcess that was removed from the outer part of my anus. The infection was caused by feces imbedded in my colon and resulted in a very painful surgery and recovery. I rarely make bowel movements *2-3 during a full week normally* and have gone up to 2 weeks without a movement at all. When I do have BM's, they are usually ribbon-like and cause discomfort, afterwhich I feel like I have not passed all of it and usually go to the bathroom multiple times during that day, although I make no progress after the initial movement. The fissure I am guessing, was caused from the 'aftermath' when I make BM's. When I feel like I have not evacuated completely, I sit, and unintentionally strain, *muscles react as if I were vomiting*. Honestly, my diet is atrosious. Fast food, Hot pockets, Pizza, things of that nature are my normal meals. Hope this helps.
