Colon cleanse question... not a pretty question

[judi71]

Okay…. This is not nice and I do apologize for it in advance. But……. I’ve looked on the Internet and can’t find out what I need to find out. I went to the bathroom this morning and. Stop reading now if you have a bad stomach………………


Okay, I went and the toilet was pretty full, which was good, my stomach had been killing me all day. But that’s not the problem. The problem was that there was these red things floating, the size of a middle fingernail, but a long fingernail. I know I didn’t eat anything red. I don’t eat tomatoes or red peppers. What the hell is it???

EWWWWWWWWW!!!!!!!!!!

ok...
Do you still have a belly ache?
Maybe its hemmies? I had them after giving birth in 2004

BTW-up date your ticker-there is NO WAY you weigh that now if thats your new pic Unless you 6'10

[Keepers23]

Yikes. I'd scoop it out and take it to your doctor. They may need to do a stool sample.

[judi71]

Hey Princess, i don't have a tummy ache now, but everytime i eat i wanna poop.

btw that is a recent picture, it was taken in January. i'm 5'4. i'm just really solid. my ticker is correct too.

Bump.
(I just wanna know if anyone knows what they are!)

[judi71]

bump again........ i really need some help here.. i'm not going to the doctor with crap in a bag. i'd rather die first.

[My_3_Sons]

LOL judi, you are funny. I kind of agree, but I think I'd HAVE to know what those red buggers are. I hunted for this thread hopeing I'd see an answer.

[Choco-cat]

Bump again...anyone?

[Deanna150]

Could it be poss. that red peppers mihght of been in a meatloaf. Or some kinda of take out dinner that you where not aware of. Im over here racking my brain... umm jelly beans maybe.. ?? hot tamalies... if I am spelling that correct...

[judi71]

who knows, maybe it was something I ate last year and is now making its way out of my body. all i know is i haven't eaten anything like that in the last three months. i have been tracking everything that i eat and i went back through it all to see and there was nothing. no meatloaf with red peppers no jelly beans no nothing. it hasn't happened since so we will see what happens.

i plugged the toilet at walmart today...LOL. I never ran so fast out of a bathroom, I didn't want anyone to see me leaving. so its working.

Unfortunately I don't have any good advice to give you about what you found floating. I had some intresting stuff as well on my first colon cleanse (my mother said it was parasites, I told her I would never speak to her again if she EVER said that to me--LOL). What cleanse are you using though? It's about time for me to do another and it sounds like yours is doing one HECK of a job.

[hmhuntr]

I would like to know what you are taking as well. Is it expensive?

Could the red things possibly medication you have taken? Capsules will expand and mis shape but there are several meds out there where the capsule releases it's contents but doesn't truely break down. Just a thought. Either way, at least they are out of your body!

Funny story here, I was told by someone that thier friend did a cleanse and go freaked out because she started pooping a whole bunch of different colors.She called the help line and they coulnt figure it out, they had never had this problem. She got scared and called her mom, her mom started laughing and told her when she was 5 she ate a whole bunch of crayons! The crayons stayed in her for 20 years!

[hmhuntr]

That is hysterical!!!!
Maybe you are passing chewing gum you swallowed from years ago???

Do you girls realize that the original post in this thread was made back in February of 2006...I kinda doubt the poster that started this thread will ever read your questions...She hasn't been active on here since,

However, sapphire, you can ask your question by starting a new thread or you can do a search for cleanse and find many post that were made recently...or at least in the last 3 months..and some of those folks are still around to answer your questions...
Good Luck

What colon cleanser did you use? I haven't done one in years, but remember the results - kinda of best done on the weekend so I'd be close to home.

Wrknprogrs.

I wouldnt worry about it unless it lasts more than one week. Things to rememer- not all foods look the same way coming out as they do going in!

[MauiTina]

Speaking on colon cleanse: Has anyone ever seen a colonoscopy on the Discovery Channel? If you have you know that the colon is perfectly clean and pink in all people all of the time. These colon cleanse things that are advertised are a bunch of fraudulent jibberish.

Funniest thread I've ever read!!! Better out than in....

[stephstout]

My best guess, without knowing the ingredients in the cleanser, would be that it's roughly ground psyllium hulls. They're used a lot in colon cleansers, they float, they can be shaped like you described and they are usually an orange-ish color but can easily pick up food dyes and the colors of other foods to end up red, green, etc. by the time they make their way out. If not psyllium hulls, it's probably whatever other insoluble fiber product was used in the cleanse.

Doh! Just realized this is a zombie thread.
