do blueberries help you poop?

Question

Would eating about blueberries turn your stool dark?

Answer 1

All fruits,: Vegetables, salads and whole grains have fiber which will help with bowel regularity provided you are drinking 80-100 oz caffeine free/alcohol free fluid daily.

Answer 2

Check up: This is called tenesmus, the false urge to have a bowel movement. The rectum responds to pressure and sends a signal that you need to defecate. Anything that causes pressure in the rectum will cause this signal. These include stool, enlarged hemorrhoids, polyps or tumors, inflammation of the rectal lining (proctitis). The safest thing to do is discuss this with your doctor.

Answer 3

High-fiber diet: If this is a change in your bowel pattern, you should see your doctor. If it is not, increasing the amount of fiber in your diet, and perhaps taking fiber supplements, would be a good place to start. If you do, be sure to increase your fluid intake also. If this does not work, see your doctor or a gastroenterologist. Good luck.

Answer 4

Not unless diarrhea: Normal pooping lets only the "formed" poop come out. The loose poop needs to stay in the body a little longer, to dry out a bit more, and then come out with the next pooping. However, if a person has watery diarrhea, then all his poop likely will come out.

Answer 5

No: Only part of your Your feces in your colon comes out at once

Answer 6

No: If you don't have regular bowel movements you may have constipation or irritable bowel symdrom. When you do have a bowel movement, you only empty the stool the very end of the colon. An average bowel movement may weigh just over 1 pound.

Answer 7

Agree with Dr G: Increasing fiber in diet from fruits and veggies with increase bowel movements.Can also get more fiber with Benefiber,Fiber on,metamucil etc.Prune juice and apricot juice will help if constipated.Also remember that if it does not go in ,it will not come out.So if not eating alot then will not have alot or large BM

Answer 8

Parasites are likely: Thread worms, aka "pin worms" are the most likely answer. There are other worm-like parasites but most are pin worms. More common in children less common in adults, most likely in all ages. There are medications to rid your body of these parasites. They cause rectal discomfort and itching, can wake children at night when pin worms are most active. Stool samples confirm diagnosis.

Answer 9

Parasitic infection: You need to be evaluated.

Answer 10

Goat poop: You are not keeping enough water and bulk in your colon. Make a diary of the foods u eat and please have plenty of water throughout the day.
