I have had pasty stools off and on for about 2years. I decided to do a cleanse a few weeks ago. I took 1 Tbl. Of castor oil and drank 2large glasses of fiber. I had violent stools and couldn't get to the bathroom soon enough. It really messed my system up bad. A week later I started noting pressure in my rectum like I have gas coming. I have also had some burning and slight pain in that area. Now I am noticing numbness around my tailbone area. It has been 3 weeks since the cleanse. I am up every morning at 6 with a bowel movement and the for that next hour, I may have an urge to go again and then it is a little bit. I know that my muscle really got worked over in childbirth 17 years ago.
