about 2 years ago i went into hospital with really bad stomach pains after a week or so in hospital they couldnt find any thing wrong with me so they just told me it was stress,
Ever since i have had a very bad stomach,
pains,cramps,diarrhea,also when im hungry my stomach is very unsettled and uncomftorble.
And for the last few months i have been getting blood in my feces evry now and then,not actualy in the stool but on the out side.
i have finally plucked up the courage to go to the doctors but my apointment isnt for over a week yet and im really worried about what the doc is gonna say any body have any ideas what my proble could be???
thanks in advance and sorry for any spelling mistakes im not to great with spelling.

Sounds like an inflammatory bowel disorder, like Crohn's or IBS. You could also have something like a food allergy (i.e. Celiac Disease), or infection, or a parasite, etc., but you won't know until they take a look...possibly a colonoscopy and/or endoscopy would be the best thing for you to have. I'm sorry you are going through this. Please don't worry...worrying always seems to make bowel problems worse. The good news is that you mustered the courage and hopefully you get some relief in the near future. I hope you feel better soon.
