How to stop loose stool from sorbitol?
So, here's the cause. Well, my mom says its the cause. I'm addicted to altoids mints, I eat one pack of Altoids small sugar free mints every day. But instead of sugar, it has sorbitol, which causes upset stomach and diarrhea. It's gotten to the point where I can't even go to school or a friend's house without worrying about being home incase I have diarrhea or loose stool. I will not poop anywhere else but home. It's really ruining my once amazing social life. My friends don't invite me over, and I only like having them at my house. It's ruining my life. I have to live my life in fear of getting diarrhea. Besides stopping the Altoids, how can I cure this?
Blood in stool for about 3 days explanation everything else is fine?
OK so it wont let me see what the other two answers are so I'm going to answer and if someone already suggested it then disregard :P So if you've been pooping and there is blood it can be numerous things, but you first have to try to look at your poop. Has it been difficult for you to poop? Is your poop really really hard? Did you eat anything red that may have digested? (and yes I know its funny, BUT that can happen) So you have to ask how your poop is feeling. If its really really hard than it might have actually ripped your anus to the point where it is going to tear. This is really discomforting. Hard poop is never a good thing. If your poop is hard it can tell you alot about what your eating. Maybe you need to adjust your diet, eat more fiber to help you regulate your digestive system and also decide the outcome of your poop. Hard, soft, runny, mucusy....If you fear it may be hard poop you can always take a stool softner so you don't tear your anus. If your poop is bloody and mucusy than thats when you need to go see a doctor especially if it persists for more than a week, just remember anything that last more then a week is highly suggested that you go to the doctor. Also depending on what you've eaten there could have been tearing inside the your rectum, So its all about what your eating, if your experience pain inside your bottom then go see a doctor, if you experience your burning on your anus when you do bleed (if you think that maybe you tore it) you can use vaseline or neosporin cream on it, so that way it'll keep it from hurting anymore. Hopefully that helps. If someone else didnt suggest it already, Whatever you do dont freak out, there are many possibilities so until you go to the doctor dont fret, unless your seriously pouring out blood, then you know what to do.
What causes people to lose control of their bowels when frightened, anxious or highly stressed?
Some people loss bladder control when anxiety attack happens, and it is called "incontinence"." The autonomic nervous system (ANS), also known as the visceral nervous system and involuntary nervous system, is a division of the peripheral nervous system that influences the function of internal organs. The autonomic nervous system is a control system that acts largely unconsciously and regulates the heart rate, digestion, respiratory rate, pupillary response, urination, and sexual arousal. This system is the primary mechanism in control of the fight-or-flight response. "The ANS has two branches: the sympathetic nervous system and the parasympathetic nervous system.The sympathetic nervous system is often considered the "fight or flight" system. And parasympathetic nervous system is often considered the "rest and digest" or "feed and breed" system. In many cases, both of these systems have "opposite" actions where one system activates a physiological response and the other inhibits it." The fight-or-flight response (also called the fight, flight, freeze, or fawn response, hyperarousal, or the acute stress response) is a physiological reaction that occurs in response to a perceived harmful event, attack, or threat to survival. "Anxiety causes this "fight or flight" system to be activated and that activation causes most of the anxiety symptoms, such as rapid heartbeat, nervousness, muscle tension, and more. And sometimes when the anxiety is in it's peak 'incontinence' happens.Reference :Autonomic nervous systemFight-or-flight response (in humans)Sympathetic nervous systemParasympathetic nervous systemHow and When Anxiety Causes Loss of Bladder Control

Do you lose nutrients & calories when you have diarrhea?
Diarrhea causes you to lose fluids. You also lose salts and minerals such as sodium , chloride, and potassium. These salts and minerals affect the amount of water that stays in your body and also play a part in nerve impulse transmission and contraction of the cardiac muscles to pump blood.Also there is an increased bowel movement and the food ingested may not digest properly (as the food stays only but a limited time in your GIT) before the unwanted residue is removed as faeces. There is also reduced absorption.But for calories: the food you ate already passed through the digestive process (to an extent) and the calories were absorbed, by the body. That means you will not lose calories. But you will get less calories processed by your body because of the fact you're having diarrhea (partial digestion of food) but not lose calorie.Finally, you do lose weight if you have diarrhea for a prolonged period of time (Chronic diarrhea) then it's a sign of infection or something serious and the weight lost it's not because you're losing calories it's because of a combination of factors.
