A member asked:
Had diarrhea for 5 days. now i can't tell if the pressure on my rectum is old feces or just inflamed from the constant straining due to the diarrhea?

We can't tell ...: ... From here either, but "plugging up" diarrhea will not cure an infection, fix an inflammatory process, improve an ischemic gut, or correct a functional issue. Medical evaluation is recommended appropriate to the duration of your symptoms, associations (bleeding, weight loss, pain, vomiting), as well as your other medical co-morbidities. Call your doctor please and get checked.
