What happens to my body during a 24-day food strike with minimal water intake?
What will happen to my body I am on strike for 24 days not eating food and just take 2 sips of cold water twice a day?

If you don't consume food for a month and only take sips of plain water not very often, your body is going to be very weak. There could be lightheadedness when competent thinking and muscles can even become smaller. In addition to being harmful to your organs, this also can be a matter of life and death. Eat properly to remain healthy. Try to take tiny portions of food and drink water many times in the day.

I am 49 I am getting stomach pain because of eating nuts
Male | 49
This might be a condition called gastritis. The nuts you eat can irritate your stomach lining and cause you discomfort. Typical signs of gastritis are pain in the upper abdomen, bloating, and nausea. To ease the pain, try avoiding nuts for a while and eating easily digestible foods like bananas, rice, applesauce, and toast. In addition, water intake can also be soothing. If the pain continues, it would be better to consult a gastroenterologist.

You are experiencing a difficult stomach ache that feels like a knife tearing from the middle to the lower part of the stomach. This type of pain could be due to gas or indigestion. You know sometimes it may occur if you eat too fast or spicy food. At first, try eating slowly and avoiding spicy foods. Drinking warm water can also help to calm your stomach. If the pain is steadfast or increasing, visit a gastroenterologist.

When preforming large deep enemas, I was curious if such an enema could flow into the appendix as well as the Ileum? If so would such a thing be harmful?
Female | 25
When performing large deep enemas, the fluid can potentially reach the ileum but is unlikely to flow into the appendix due to its narrow opening. However, doing this procedure at home can be risky. It is always best to consult a gastroenterologist to understand the safe practices and risks involved.

I’m 18 I’ve been having some bowel issues. Around 2 years ago, I had a big IBS flare up (according to my doctor) that lasted for a while. Just recently, after not having much problems since, I’ve been feeling constipated. This occurred after being under some stress from a couple school tests (though, to me, the stress didn’t seem that much different from other stresses I’ve had). I would feel the urge to poop, but very little would come out (even though I felt like there’s a big piece that needed to). When I would push any harder, I could maybe get some more small pieces to come out, though it would burn and be discomforting. This would go on for a while until recently I would have some mild diarrhea. I know this is a bad habit, but I did some reading on the internet and learned that I may be having overflow diarrhea. I still have the feeling of being backed up (that a big piece of poop needs to come out) and nauseous - however not much abdominal pain (yet). I just tried a suppository and unfortunately it led to nothing but some mucus coming out. I’ve been anxious about this, however I’ve started to wonder: Am I getting bowel issues because I’m nervous, or am I nervous because I’m getting bowel issues. I’m here because I’m wondering if all this is an IBS episode, or if this is something more urgent. Both my parents believe it’s nothing but IBS, however, I am a little concerned that it could be something more dire. I’ve been trying to keep my mind off of it, however it is quite hard after knowing a suppository wouldn’t work.
Male | 18
I understand your concerns. The symptoms you're describing could be related to stress-triggered IBS, but it's essential to rule out other potential causes. Persistent changes in bowel habits, especially with discomfort and anxiety, warrant a visit to a healthcare professional for a thorough evaluation. They can determine the cause and provide appropriate guidance for management. Don't hesitate to discuss your symptoms openly with your doctor for accurate diagnosis and peace of mind.

High blood presure and cough.. Acidity
Female | 70
High blood pressure combined with a cough that tastes acidic could signify acid reflux. The stomach acid travels upward, entering the food pipe, resulting in a burning sensation. Acid reflux can trigger coughing and exacerbate high blood pressure. To alleviate symptoms, avoid spicy and fatty foods. Consume smaller meals. Refrain from eating too close to bedtime. If necessary, your doctor may prescribe medication to reduce acidity.

Female | 69
Your mother has a dangerous growth in her rectum. This is known as a malignant rectal polyp. Bleeding from the rectum may occur. Bowel habits could also change significantly. She may experience abdominal pain. The causes can be genetic factors or her diet. Treating it involves surgical removal of the polyp. Alternatively, radiation therapy kills cancerous cells.

How long does a stab wound to the bowel takes to heal after surgery
Male | 31
A stab wound in the bowel is indeed a serious injury that will require surgery for a solution. After the surgery, the healing time can vary but it usually takes several weeks to a few months. Symptoms of this may involve intense pain, fever, and vomiting. Repairing the damaged bowel with surgery is the solution, in addition to proper wound care and medication to prevent infection, which is the main reason for the surgery. It's important to heed your doctor's orders to have a quick and easy recovery.

Hi. It’s regarding my younger sister she’s 4. After Eid, she stopped eating and lost weight a bit. But she’s been eating well again for the last 2 weeks so her appetite is back to normal. She had an ear infection and flu right before she lost her appetite but her appetite loss happened after finishing the antibiotics. However, over the past months she always says ‘my leg hurts’ and she says it’s her ankle. It doesn’t make her cry or anything and it doesn’t stop her playing like a wild animal ???? but today she has blood in her poo and on tissue when wiping it was bright red blood it’s happened before when she was constipated she didn’t drink much water yesterday and my other sister also got the norovirus so it could be that- her poo was watery. She also catches colds frequently
Female | 4
Seeing blood when she goes poo could mean she's constipated. That can make poo hard to pass. It may also be from norovirus, which causes diarrhea and tummy aches. Her sore leg needs checking too. That pain may relate to her other problems or signal something else. Make sure she drinks lots of water and eats healthy foods to help her tummy feel better. If the leg pain gets worse or won't go away, take her to the doctor.

Female | 16
The symptoms you report, such as blood in the stool, alterations in bowel habits, abdominal pain, headache, nausea, chest pain, and low blood pressure, could signify different things. The reasons behind these symptoms range from infections to inflammatory conditions. From my personal opinion, you should pay attention to these signs and get help from a gastroenterologist immediately.

I am 34 years old My pancreas has been damaged
Male | 34
When the pancreas is injured, it can cause all sorts of problems. You may have terrible tummy aches, throw up a lot, and lose weight without trying to. A damaged pancreas could be the result of gallstones, or too much alcohol, or it might just run in your family. Eating well and staying away from booze is important. A gastroenterologist could prescribe some pills that would help you out and they might also recommend that you go on a special diet to make your pancreas feel better.

Female | 39
Pain starting in the middle of the chest and then extending to the person's back is a possible symptom of either acid reflux or heartburn. When there is an increase in swelling and at the same time intense pain, the possibility of inflammation in the digestive system cannot be ruled out. Eating smaller meals, avoiding spicy dishes, and sitting up after meals are some non-pharmacological measures largely recommended for acid reflux. Consult a Gastroenterologist for personal therapy when no result is seen after medication use.

You have problems in your private parts. Things like pain when pooping, gooey stuff coming out, and yellow or green stuff in the morning. These signs show an infection. The infection could be from bad bacteria or maybe an STD. You need to see a gastroenterologist soon. They can treat the infection properly.

Digestive system not work properly
Male | 23
If our stomach isn't functioning properly, it can cause bloating, gas, and digestive problems like constipation or diarrhea. These issues might arise from eating too quickly, not drinking enough water, or stress. To improve digestion, try eating slowly, drinking plenty of water, and consuming more fiber-rich foods like fruits and vegetables.
