Question 1

what does brown string in poops indicate?

Accepted Answer

Need more info: If  all of your poops are thin and stringy, you need to get checked. If you had only one poop that  seemed to have something like a brown string but you are fine now, it is most likely something you ate.

 If this experience of a brown string keeps on happening, someone needs to make sure you don't have parasites or something blocking your poops so that they are thinner.

Question 2

is it normle to have more poops after a colonoscopy...

Yes: As long as they are not bloody, or tarry. The gas that is pumped into your large intestines can cause you to have more bowel movements the day or two after the colonoscopy. If you are having any pain, other abdominal changes, consult your GI doc as soon as possible. Hope that helps!

Question 8

what affects can not pooping have on your body and organs?

Accepted Answer

Sewage Backs Up!: Failure to elimnate waste allows reabsorption of toxins your body is trying to get rid of as well as failure to expel new toxins getting in daily.  Think of your commode full of sewage if it backed up all over the floor. Same idea in the body.  Things are shutting down and not working well.  Effects will vary according to each tissue affected.  Beter to make sure you eliminate daily.
