Question 5

Accepted Answer

Blood in stool: Vomiting and bright red blood in bowel movements may be from a gastrointestinal tract infection which caused bleeding from hemorrhoids or from serious inflammation of the colon. Bleeding from diverticulosis or a tumor usually doesn't occur with associated vomiting. If bleeding and vomiting persist, go to the hospital emergency room for prompt examination. For milder symptoms, go toprimary care MD.

Sounds Normal: Kid's poop can get harder as you switch  to solids (pureed).  Try adding some pureed prunes or apples. Also make sure he is taking in adequate fluids daily.

Question 8

found string in anus whilst washing it after pooping [ didn't poo for 3 days because i wasn't eating enough] this happened when i finally ate enough [?

Accepted Answer

Food fiber: What you described is not a cause for concern. You may take a fiber laxative like Metamucil and drink enough water daily so that your urine is colorless. For the long term you may try to increase your intake of fiber foods. Consult this site for fiber foods.

Wish you good health! - Have a diet rich in fresh vegetables, fruits, whole grains, milk and milk products, nuts, beans, legumes, lentils and small amounts of lean meats. Avoid saturated fats. Drink enough water daily, so that your urine is mostly colorless. Exercise at least 150 minutes/week and increase the intensity of exercise gradually. Do not use tobacco, alcohol, weed or street drugs in any form. 
Practice safe sex, if you have sex. 
Get HPV vaccine

Question 9

why do i poop everytime i finish eating?

Accepted Answer

Reflex: You have a strong gastro-colic reflex.  All mammals have this reflex for the most part.  Yours is just likely stronger than most.

Question 10

what does it mean when you're done eating and then have to poop right away?

Accepted Answer

Postprandial urgency: The need to have a bowel movement immediately after eating is often due to spasm of the colon. It is not necessarily a normal urge. Sometimes it is a sign of irritable bowel syndrome. Before seeing a doctor, it is often useful to increase fiber and fluid intake, and perhaps even try a fiber supplement, such as Metamucil. If this doesn't work after 3 to 4 weeks, see your doctor. Good luck.
