What could be causing this weird bowel problem?
I'm a 16 year old girl, and have had a weird bowel problem for almost 4 years. I haven't told anyone about it because I really, really dislike doctors. I'm also embarrased to tell anyone. I highly doubt I'll tell anyone or go to the doctor anytime soon just so you know…
Almost every single time I use the restroom during the day I end up going #2. I usually feel like I just can't get it all out. It's really annoying, and I have to go to the bathroom more often than my peers. It's embarrasing. Luckily my crap usually doesn't smell that bad, because I don't crap a whole lot out at a time, so I don't think people really notice.
Let's say I wake up at around 6, and have to leave the house at 8. I usually will go #2 twice, if not three times before I leave. It's not like it takes a really long time for me to get out what I can, just a little bit longer than it would take me to pee. It's just really annoying that I'm always going to the bathroom.
What could be wrong with me?
How long after surgical correction of a bowel obstrcution before you can keep solids down?
My 3 year old son had surgery to clear a bowel obstruction 11 days ago and still is unable to keep solids down for very long. Liquids are ok. He is also having some swelling issues that don't seem to be resolving.
I am looking for those of you with personal experience to answer this. We are still in the hospital with my 3 yr. old son post op and I am curious what others with similar surgeries experienced in terms of length of recovery. I HAVE asked his doctors, but as usual they are reluctant to give a time frame as every patient is different (especially kids). I was just wondering if I have taken enough FMLA leave or if I might need to extend it.
