Rabbit pellets

Postby guiness » 09 Apr 2013, 15:17

Ok so this is what is hindering my progress thus far: why do i keep having this problem of passing what i describe as rabbit pellets. I can go really well sometimes using ducolax but these little pellets that come in the middle of the day usually that are driving me crazy. Why does my body produce these? I really have to strain to get these out.

what's your diet and water intake like ? sounds like you could be eating something that is binding.

What is binding....ive had this trouble forever it seems, but the fissure only a couple months. I had half a white bagel yesterday, grapefruit, 2 eggs, maybe another piece of bread. I think its the bread. But this happens alot.

Binding=constipation.
There is a lot of information on here about constipation, fibre and fiber. With what you gave as your food yesterday (unless you had something else too), it does seem as though your diet may not contain enough fibre. Do use the search facility above on the right; it is so useful.
Also, you need to drink at least 8 glasses of water a day to keep everything soft working its way through your system.

If the above advice doesn't help, there may be a chance you have diverticulitis. That's a more remote possibility thankfully, but it's something that members of my family have and I may indeed have based on the symptoms.
In a nutshell, that's little pockets in your colon that things get caught in, harden, and come out periodically after being turned into what you describe as rabbit pellets.

I believe it was Anonymon who said he eats all this within a 5-6 hour time frame.
I gathered from my reading that not having substantial enough meals ... not just fiber, but overall volume and delay peristalsis and cause dry stools, if not genuine constipation.
I had been dieting, and I still am, so i have bulked up my diet with some metamucil, though I hate it, and I've added lots more fiber rich foods. I'm trying to add a little more olive oil as well, but trying to still maintain a slow steady loss.

' Constipation is defined as having a bowel movement fewer than three times per week. With constipation stools are usually hard, dry, small in size, and difficult to eliminate. Some people who are constipated find it painful to have a bowel movement and often experience straining, bloating, and the sensation of a full bowel.' Quote from U.S. Department of Health and Human Services, national Digestive Diseases at http://digestive.niddk.nih.gov/ddiseases/pubs/constipation/
There is a difference between Diverticulosis and Diverticulitis. Diverticulosis is common over the age of 50 and becomes more common as you age. Diverticulitis is more serious, Anonymon, and only a small percentage of those with Diverticulosis will develop this. I have Diverticulosis. Guiness had a colonoscopy and she has not mentioned either of these being part of the diagnosis. 
The trouble with these wretched fissures is, boring or not, you have to stay on a regimen that will make going to the loo easier in order to heal. And much rather now than later! Image

Yes, if you had Diverticulosis they would have seen it. If you are concerned about this, ask your doctor.
