Ever since she was born, she has had a problem with not going to the bathroom everyday and therefore having very large stools. We have tried a variety of remedies Metamucil, orange juice every morning, cereal with bran flakes or oat flakes. Nothing seems to work. I worry that if she has this problem as a teen what will it be like for her as an adult. Her metabolism must be very slow and I worry about her body being poisoned or possibly cancer. I have taken her to the doctor that's when we tried the bran and oat flakes to no avail. I would really appreciate your advice on this matter. Thanks very much. You did not say what the consistency of your daughter's stool is. If it looks like round balls stuck together, then she is constipated. If the stool is brown colored water, then she has diarrhea. Anything in between in terms of consistency of stool is normal. FYI, menstruating women often get constipated the week prior to their period as the female body often retains water. This occurs because women's bodies prepare for pregnancy every month! If this is a problem, then water and a fiber rich cereal at breakfast should prevent pre- menstrual constipation. As to the size of the stool, as long as it doesn't cause her discomfort or abdominal pain, I would forget it. Her body has it's own elimination pattern. Not everyone has a bowel movement every day which is also normal. Vegetarians often have larger stools because of the amount of fiber they eat. As long as she eats fruits, vegetables and whole grains every day while drinking enough water so that her stools can easily pass, she is fine. She can check if she is drinking enough water by paying attention to the color of her urine. It should be colorless and odorless except for the first voided urine in the morning. Also, if she eats asparagus, then her urine may smell until her body processes the asparagus. I wouldn't worry about her being poisoned or cancer. Your liver detoxifies your blood and at 1. I doubt your daughter would ingest a poison. A person's risk of colon cancer increases with high fat and low fiber diets.

I walk twice a day for 3. I do 3. 0 sit ups each week. I eat very well but on weekends I sort of let go of my good eating pattern and eat junk food. I weigh 6. 6 kilos and my height is about 1. What should my weight be and do you have any tips for me? From your email address, I assumed you are a male to perform some calculations. If I am wrong, please write back and I will re- calculate. Guess what? Your healthy weight range is 5. You are within your healthy weight range for height and age. So, I would recommend you maintain your weight for about 3 - 6 months rather than trying to lose. Keep exercising like you do with walking and sit ups, but add some weight lifting to build muscle. Get some muscle definition and I bet it will change how you view your body. Focus on achieving a strong, healthy body. The best way to keep your weight under control is by eating a healthy diet based on the Food Guide Pyramid and daily exercise. It takes a change in lifestyle for most teens to make this a regular part of their daily routine. Periodically eating junk food won't kill you or permanently harm your health. Just don't eat junk food most of the time. Also, don't beat yourself up over hanging out with your friends and doing what they are doing as long as it isn't illegal. Try moderation. For instance if you go out to eat, a burger or grilled chicken sandwich is fine, but skip the cheese, bacon or mayonnaise sauces. If you eat pizza, choose ham over sausage or pepperoni, which are higher in fat and skip the extra cheese. Be bold and add some vegetables (mushrooms, peppers, onions) to your pizza, but skip the olives which are mostly fat. You can choose milk over pop and limit fries to once or twice a month.

There are times when I can't stop eating. I'm afraid of gaining all my weight back and this is tearing me apart. Every time I tell myself I tomorrow it won't happen, but it does. Mostly it happens when I'm alone or bored and usually it's things like cereal or apples or vegetables that I eat. I do not eat any deserts or sweets. But when I start eating cereal or apples, I can't stop. I don't even know if I'm hungry or not anymore, but it's making me very worried. I've already gained 6 pounds in about a week because of it. I don't eat a lot of fat and try to keep under my daily allowance, but I can't control myself anymore.
