This causes an incomplete emptying of the bowels, and is particularly common among toddlers, who can tolerate pain the least. The large intestine of an average adult is 4. Because of incomplete emptying, many people routinely retain or more lbs of impacted stools without realizing it. If a person isn't overweight, an experienced physician may detect retained stools during a manual exam of the lower abdomen. A person affected by dysbacteriosis and on a fiber-free diet can go without a single bowel movement for a month or more, and not experience any noticeable side effects.
With just to grams of stool generated daily under these conditions, the large intestine has enough holding capacity to store many weeks worth — particularly after these stools dry up. When the colon is filled to capacity, retained stools are pushed down and out into the rectum, where they may stimulate painful defecation.
This way, more room is freed on top for the newer feces to pile up, and repeat this cycle again and again. When defecation is no longer attainable, the situation is called fecal impaction. In this case, there are four possible outcomes, and none of them are very good: 1 elective manual disimpaction or surgery; 2 colon perforation; 3 fecal reflux feces flow back into the small intestine; 4 intestinal obstruction and ensuing necrosis.
Okay, enough scarecrows Normally, the large intestine should contain well under 2 lb 1 kg of retained feces, or two to three days worth.
Rome Criteria and a Diagnostic Approach to Irritable Bowel Syndrome
Longer intervals between bowel movements increase total stool weight, but not linearly, because of stools' drying out. Schmidt, G. Thews; Human Physiology, 2nd edition. As incomplete emptying progresses, retained stools compress, enlarge, harden up, dry out, and let newer feces pile up on top to do the same. Incomplete emptying results in impacted stools, described in the next stage of irritable bowel syndrome evolution.
This process of stool impaction is similar to sausage manufacturing—a butcher uses a stuffing machine to fill in the casings, ties the ends, and hangs them out to dry. And that braided shape of the sausage mirrors the haustra pattern small pouches along the colon's walls.
Type 2 on Bristol Stool Scale ]. Looking at this picture, it's easy to understand why so many people suffer from the ravages of PMS, prostatitis, constipation, hemorrhoids, irritable bowel syndrome, diverticular disease, and, eventually, polyposis and colon cancer. Impacted stools often bypass anal sinuses the folds between the colon and rectum and enter the rectum normally, the rectum chamber is empty. This condition can be determined via rectal self-exam. The presence of stools in the rectum may cause pain, discomfort, and the feeling of incomplete emptying—the condition is known as levator syndrome from levator ani muscle.
These conditions are rarely survivable, and always require massive abdominal surgery in order to excise the affected sections.
Here is even more bad news: unlike small, soft, and moist normal stools, impacted stools cause mechanical abrasions of the mucous membranes. In turn, these abrasions open a pathway to various pathogens into the inner reaches of the intestinal membranes, and seed precancerous polyps. One more reason to restore proper colon ecology! Only then can you avoid impacted stools, prevent dysbacteriosis, and restore intestinal flora.
The enlarged stools fill up the large intestine, and produce considerable pressure on internal organs, particularly the bladder, uterus and fallopian tubes among women, and prostate gland among men. Since all of these organs have strong innervation and are quite sensitive, you may feel in considerable pain, specific to premenstrual syndrome PMS before and during periods.
Men may experience heightened sexual tension from the pressure on the prostate gland. Both genders may be affected by frequent urination but without any significant volume of urine. Great and well-worn advice by now, except for one little detail: mixing fiber with bacteria in one's gut is like making compost in one's backyard. Gases expand the large intestine. The expansion causes bloating. The bloated intestines squeeze neighboring organs and may cause obstructions, gastritis, heartburn, genital cramps, and so on.
Acids irritate the mucosal membranes and may cause inflammation. Methanol—one of the alcohols—seeps into the blood and causes hangover-like side effects. Alas, not enough ethanol is produced to at least enjoy the experience.
Irritable bowel syndrome (IBS)
The degree of suffering from abdominal cramps and intoxication varies greatly depending on one's age, gender, health, occupation, character, genetics, amounts of fiber, types of fiber, sources of fiber, and a whole load of other factors itemized in minutiae throughout this site and in Fiber Menace. For as long as all of the above is tolerable, it's broadly accepted as a part of living. When the going gets tough, the tough This stops bloating and flatulence caused by gases and acidity produced by the fermentation of fiber.
Antibiotics don't reduce stool size or relieve constipation. It may benefit patients with either constipation or diarrhea. And so we go: cramps—antibiotics—fiber—cramps—antibiotics—fiber The absence of bacteria requires more fiber or laxatives to deal with impacted stools.
Newly consumed insoluble fiber acts as a plunger by pushing them out. That's essentially what fiber is — a plumber's plunger. And the straining is its handle. They soften them up somewhat, and, when consumed in excess, stimulate diarrhea. Oh, how appropriate The vicious cycles of intermittent constipation and diarrhea repeat over and over again until more serious complications arise.

When a person recovers from the initial treatment, more fiber is prescribed again to prevent all these conditions. Otherwise they may bleed to death or die from colon cancer. It's the exact same pattern for Crohn's disease, for hemorrhoidal disease, for diverticular disease, for cancer survivors, and pretty much for everything else.

Fiber, more fiber, more darn fiber, until one day, no patient—no problem. The next section explains how to reverse the causes of IBS naturally, and to roll-back your state of health to pre-stage 1 status — proper colon ecology, normal stools, and no symptoms of IBS. Unlike The Merck Manual and similar references, this page enumerates in plain language the exact physiological causes of irritable bowel syndrome and offers effective, inexpensive, and self-administered treatment guidelines which provide full and rapid recovery, assuming your condition hasn't progressed far beyond IBS.
Even then, you still will find excellent if not full relief from bloating, flatulence, constipation, diarrhea, cramps, and pain, except it may take you longer, and you'll need to manage intercurrent conditions, such as hemorrhoids, anal fissures, or diverticulosis, more attentively. I encourage you to share the information on this site and in Fiber Menace with your physicians. They won't find anything contradictory in these texts to the tenets of human anatomy, physiology, biology, biochemistry, and pathology.
To help them and you , this site as well as my books, are all thoroughly referenced and, with few exceptions, accessible over the Internet. Throughout the years, scores of medical professionals have read my books, heard my radio talk shows, attended my seminars, and scrutinized my web publications, and not one, I repeat, not a single one has ever sent me a note pointing out an error in my analysis or recommendations.
If anything, I am hearing back praise and encouragement — doctors and nurses are people too, and they suffer from digestive disorders just as much or more because they are more likely to follow Merck-type advice as the general population. There are no risks or side-effects associated with any of my recommendations because I do not propose drugs, lopsided diets, or invasive procedures.
Some readers, particularly medical professionals trained in the so called evidence-based medicine , may respond to these claims with a well-expected challenge: Konstantin, prove it! Actually, it would be against the laws of medical ethics as well as civil and criminal statutes to conduct a randomized controlled medical trial with a known negative outcome for patients in the control group who would follow the Merck's guidelines.
IBS is classified by Merck as constipation-predominant or diarrhea-predominant. Some people are diagnosed with IBS without experiencing either constipation or diarrhea. Your steps to recovery will depend on your particular type:. Step 1.
Wean yourself off fiber. If you have been consuming dietary fiber or taking fiber laxatives, you'll have to break the dependence on these substances first because it's impossible to overcome IBS while consuming fiber.

Skip this step if it isn't applicable in your case. Step 2-A. Normalize stools for constipation-predominant IBS. Follow the recommendations in the Constipation guide. As soon as you complete this step, you'll find substantial relief from flatulence, bloating, abdominal pain, and cramps. Step 2-B. Normalize stools for diarrhea-predominant IBS.
