How do I get rid of compacted stool in my stomach?!


Question: How do I get rid of compacted stool in my stomach?
Do I have crohns disease or what? It all started with my low thyroid. But seriously...the same poo is there?!

-distended abdomen(it's not IBS and it's been like this for 8 months, rock hard built up stool, and I still poo 3 times a day)*not pregnant lol, I can't even even think about being sexually active with whatever this illness is i have
-no appetite due to the stool stuck in my stomach
-I have hypothyroidism (on medication, doctors say my levels are fine "now" but none of the symptoms went away!?) so they think I'm crazy and tried to put me on antidepressants
-stretch marks at the back of my legs, and believe me I run everyday, put cream on, I only weigh 118 which is really good considering my low thyroid, so I don't know what can explain the stretch marks
-dry vagina, itchy vagina
-varying depression, sometimes I'm all motivated and I feel like the old me is coming back but then the plug gets pulled on my energy and my state of mind is completely different
-brain fog, concentration problems

I could get into all sorts of details but these are the most obvious ones I guess. I don't want any answers telling me to eat health, excercise, drink water and eat fiber, because I've been to the doctors for this a million times and I played university basketball last year so I know what a good workout is, and they never take me seriously. Laxatives didn't work. I know something is wrong with my stomach and I really feel like I'm not getting the nutrition I require. The x ray showed stool stuck in my stomach. I miss my old life. This has been difficult. Can I seriously be depressed and not even know it? Is it possible my thyroid medication needs to be increased despite what the blood work shows?

Thankyou.

You've been like this for 8 months. I recommend you to change doctors or call 911 and explain you're emergency. Also, if you're really sick and your doctor still told you that you were fine. Well, he can get into a lot of trouble for that. So tomorrow call and switch doctors or call 911 and tell them your problem. Plus dry and itchy vagina? Could be a yeast infection. Seriously girl. Get checked out before taking anything. Goodluck i hope you turn out ok.



Fecal impaction can be a serious problem requiring surgery. See a doctor asap. A *different* doctor, like a specialist.



There are creams out there that can help get rid of your stretch marks, but you need to find the right one.

I found this on the site I put in the source box below:


Things to look for in a stretch mark cream

There are a lot of creams and ointments out there that claim to remove stretch marks. The best way to fight stretch marks is to increase your skins flexibility before your stretch marks start appearing by using a topical cream on the area before the skin starts to show stretch marks. If you already have stretch marks, hope is not lost. There are creams out there that contain ingredients that help heal the skin while minimizing scar tissue.

Some of the key ingredients that you will want to make sure your cream contains are:


Vitamin A Palmitate

Vitamin A is an essential vitamin and is best known for having positive effects on vision. However Vitamin A is just as important to the largest organ; the skin.

Clinical studies have shown vitamin A to have properties that block the absorption of harmful UVA and UVB rays, as well as a stimulating effect on cell regeneration. It has been clinically shown to improve the appearance of striae (stretch marks) and regulate epidermal (skin) cell growth.


Aloe Vera Extract

Aloe vera has been shown in clinical studies to have a positive effect on wound healing and holds anti-inflammatory properties.

As stretch marks start out as microscopic tears in skin layers due to overstretching of the dermis, aloe vera helps heal these small wounds without causing scar tissue to form, effectively preventing the appearance of stretch marks. Aloe vera has been used for thousands of years by the Egyptians, Romans, Greeks, Arabs, Indians and Chinese to decrease the appearance of scars and to moisturize and heal skin.

This extract from the aloe leaf protects skin from environmental factors and promotes skin regeneration.


Grapefruit Seed Extract

Grapefruit seed extract is a natural antibiotic used for many different types of skin ailments. It is a powerful ingredient to aid in the healing of skin damage. Grapefruit seed extract helps to restore damaged collagen and elastin, which strengthens and retextures the skin.

As collagen and elastin are responsible for the skins elasticity, improving and stimulating production of the connective tissue cells will prevent skin from tearing and thus prevent the formation of stretch marks. The condition of the skins connective tissue also dictates how well the skin contracts after pregnancy. So not only does this compound improve the condition of your stretching skin, after the delivery it will also aid in the contraction of your skin to its previous appearance.


DL-Penthenol

DL-Penthenol is the scientific name for pro-vitamin B5. It has healing properties on damaged skin as it works to improve the structure of both the lower and upper skin layers. DL-Panthenol soothes skin while stimulating cell growth and differentiation.

This ingredient aids in the regeneration of the skin, therefore aiding in reducing the appearance of existing stretch marks by replacing the scar tissue with new skin cells. It also acts to prevent stretch marks by promoting collagen and elastin production, which allows your skin to stretch without rupturing and causing stretch marks.


A cream that has shown to be highly effective at preventing stretch marks as well as healing stretch marks that you already have is Stretch Mark Prevention by Revitol.


Whether you are afraid that stretch marks may be in your future of if they are already a part of your life, the Stretch Mark Prevention cream is the product you will want on your side!

with your digestion so off, it can cause so many problems, easily it would explain your mood/brain fog/energy issues, and most likely your other issues as well. You should get to a gastronologist, have them run some tests, in the meantime have you tried prune juice or prunes ( daily ) ? They may help a little in the meantime, but it sounds like your having a gastric issue, not producing enough acid, stomach timing is off, etc. I'm just throwing this out there, as it's not my area, but it might be the brand of thyroid med your taking, something to consider down the road, if you keep coming up without an answer. There are different brands, using different sources, well they sometimes make a big difference, but again, this is just for future ponderings,



try herbal teas
ginger tea soothes the stomach
senna leaf tea goes in the mouth and cleans all the way through if you know what I mean

I have no thyroid due to 2 types of cancer in that one gland odd but true.
Low thyroid causes a lot of issues... hang in there it takes years to get back to well
