Well ive bascally had a few troubles with Diaroeha on and off for 5/6 nothing major. As the years have gone on its got worse. Yesturday morning i woke up at around 4 in the morning with diaroeha cramps and a gurggling tummy. I got up and ened up having diaroeha episodes and most of the day yesturday followed by horriable tummy pains what felt like period pains but constant so had to take paracetamol for the pains. Yesturday afternoon however i noticed blood when i went to the loo. So phoned up NHS direct who said i could have IBS and gave me some good advice. I do have piles aswell so could of been them bleeding:shrug:. So because i already had a doctors appointment for this morning i told the doctor. She felt my tummy and examined my back passage who just said yes my piles looked sore. She took the stool sample off me which had blood in it as the nurse from NHS direct told me to take a sample with me so she can send it away. The doctor i see this morning said i needed blood tests to check for crohnes diease,under active tyriod,wheat intollerance and soem other things aswell. I had them done today. She told me i needed to stick to a bland diet and no tea or coffee. So im drinking pepermint tea instead as she said that is fine, Ive got to go back to see her monday morning to discuss the test results and see what to do next.I feel like really rough and tired today with a horrid headache and now cant take anymore paracetamol til tommorrow afternoon as im up to my limit. Shes told me not to take ibruprofen coz it could upset me further. So im just waiting til monday now but im so scared somethings up. Ive not had an episode of diarhoea since this morning and im now keeping a diary of what i eat and how its made me feel. Im so scared dont know what to do:nope:
 
How did the results go?
I'm going through the same thing at the moment x I had to have a colonoscopy & they found that i have an imflammed lower part of my intestines which is causing the bleeding. I'm on supositries & have my follow up appt in April x
I hope your ok x
 
Im fine now thank you. The blood results came back all fine thankgod not had the stool sample back. I havent had no diaroea since that time last week which is good so its something what im eating thats doing it. The blood in my stools were probably to do with my piles coz of how much i had been going. So i think its IBS and still have to keep a diary of what i eat. I hope you get on ok to. That sounds nasty poor you:hugs:
 
Oh good glad they came back ok x IBS isnt nice though but hopefully with the right diet & meds you can get on with your life x
 
The doctors have not given me any meds for it. I think they are thinking if i keep a diary of what i eat i will be able to figure it out and i wont need meds but will see what happens. x
 
It might be a food intolerance? Lactose intolerance, gluten/wheat are the most common triggers for diarrhea. I am 99% sure i have a dairy intolerance i just suffer with severe constipation instead. I hope you get some answers, it doesn't sound like anything sinister though, i have had blood in my stool alot in the past, i'm off to see a specialist on valentines day of all days :lol:! x
