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?

Answered on 3rd July '24

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’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.

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.

My mother us 69 years old qnd she has diagnosed malignant rectal polyp. Next what we want to do?

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. Consult her he­althcare team to dete­rmine the best tre­atment path.

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.

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.
