gross gastrointestinal stuff

I really gotta sort out this whole "regularly painful, bloody bowel movements thing" cause it's gotten quite old. Especially given my growing interest in recreational activities in that area...

I have a bunch of chia seeds I haven't broken into. Might try to make some chia fresca? Or start adding them in some overnight oats

[โ€“] TerminalEncounter@hexbear.net 8 points 12 hours ago (1 children)

spoilerRegular painful bloody stools are unusual and concerning and you should not be having them. And its not a "quick diet fix" thing potentially. It could be a lot of stuff, so you should see a real life professional about them.

GI bleeds can be serious, but crohns, anal fissure or hemorrhoids, an STI, all can be treated and you dont have to keep living with painful bloody stools. And I dont wanna shock ya, but colon cancer is on the rise in the under 40s age group and if you have a family history for it you should definitely be seeing a doctor. If it is that, you will be very thankful at 60 you saw someone so early about it. But theres plenty of other things it could be.

You said youve been engaging in sexual activity with that so maybe you just have some internal wound and itll just be some tests and maybe abx and rest and then get back to it later~

spoilerI, uh, actually haven't been doing anything in there because it'll hurt sometimes when I take my prog and that scares me off it. Just kind feeling... urges recently, like I want to do things there...

I'm gonna see if improving my diet helps things but if it doesn't I'll go to the doctor

This needs medical intervention and not necessarily chia seeds.

We're on that food as medicine grind, trust

[โ€“] peanutbuttercupola@hexbear.net 6 points 15 hours ago (1 children)

That sounds like a real problem. Do you have some kind of food allergy or intolerance?

[โ€“] RION@hexbear.net 5 points 15 hours ago (1 children)

No, I think it's just shitty diet leading to constipation which is difficult to pass. I've had spells where everything is more regular and there's no pain or blood or anything

[โ€“] WalrusDragonOnABike@reddthat.com 4 points 14 hours ago (1 children)

Pretty sure some GI issues like Crones can have flare ups and quite spells.

You telling me I got a dang ol wise elderly woman in my gut

[โ€“] Busgirl@hexbear.net 6 points 17 hours ago (1 children)

Have you gotten a colonoscopy?

[โ€“] RION@hexbear.net 4 points 15 hours ago (3 children)

No, they don't usually do those until you're older right? And I feel like the first thing they'd tell me if I brought it up was "have you tried getting more fiber?"

[โ€“] XiaCobolt@hexbear.net 8 points 14 hours ago* (last edited 14 hours ago) (1 children)

Bowel cancer is rising disproportionately in people under 50 for reasons that are unknown. They're scoping young people more often now, not to freak you out though.

[โ€“] RION@hexbear.net 5 points 10 hours ago

Good thing I didn't spend my childhood eating processed lunch meats or anything! clueless

[โ€“] peanutbuttercupola@hexbear.net 6 points 14 hours ago (1 children)

They don't usually do them on young people - unless you have recurring gi problems such as bloody stools.

[โ€“] WalrusDragonOnABike@reddthat.com 4 points 14 hours ago (1 children)

I didn't have any issue getting one when I was under 30.

Granted, it didn't find anything.

Wanted to add that at my most recent check up, they did ask if I got a colonoscopy at my last checkup as part of the standard battery and my brother mentioned his doctor makes a point to bring up that younger people have been having colon issues and that you should get one if needed. My brother hasn't been having GI issues - that was just part of her standard script for checkups.
