Heres one for ya.
This morning I woke up and went to bathroom to feed the toilet. I began taking a crap like i usually would, but it hurt like hell. I couldnt get anything out except little bits, because the pain was so intense.

There was no bleeding, just "*** juice" and an almost diareha like fecies.

When not on the can my Sphyncter feelsfine, but what happened when i really need to go?

I am thinking it is an extra dense log trapped in there that would be impossible to get out without tearing myself a new A-hole.

Anyways, this isnt a joke, its really driving me nuts.. any home remedies or should i go and see the doc?

Hi- Sounds like good old-fashioned boring constipation to me! If this just happened today, and hasn't been an ongoing problem, try eating a lot of roughage for a couple of days....salads and raw vegetables. And drink LOTS of water. Then see what happens. Also exercise helps constipation, even a small thing like a half hour walk. No need to see a doctor unless it continues. Give yourself a few days to get back on track.

what actually causes constipation?

cherok,

Lack of fluids.
Also, you need to add fiber to your diet........metamucil tablets would benefit you - or anything else that will add fiber to your diet....

you would be suprised how much it helps.

best of luck - oh by the way, you had me laughing out loud when I was reading this....sorry, didn't mean to laugh, it was just some of the terminology you used.

take care,

=> That was my intention. ALso posting a topic about phallic problems is tough to word..

I drink ALOT of orange juice and grapefruit juice regularly. (We make it fresh at my job so I take in about 1-2L daily.) Anyways, I was also wondering if this plays any part in my problem. Also too much acid in ones diet makes you fart alot right?
