| BLood in stool, blood clots, and abdominal pain
Hiya!
Ok, so a week ago I had one of those first appointments with a doc that was pretty embarrassing.
I have had IBS since an infant (pediatricians said it would go away...hahahaha!) And I have had hemmroids since I was 14 or so.
This triggered an intrest in my new doctor and he made sure I had hemmroids (embarrassing? just a bit!) After confirming he still wanted to check further after I told him I get episodes where I go to the bathroom and there is a ton of blood in the toliet along with IBS cramping and no hemmroidal pain, I do not strain either nor is the stool hard.
So I just turned in some hemmocult fecal blood tests today.
This monday I started one of the episodes and it's lasted 3 days so far with almost constant abdominal aching with occasional painful cramps when I go to the bathroom. Blood in toilet and blood clots too. The stool is not dark in color and the blood is a pretty lighter red it's not DARK dark at all.
Along with that this week I have also had a slight stomach upset but not bad to where I feel nauseous. I have gotten slight motion sickness at the same time yesterday when riding in an SUV at lunch time. I will get sharp pains in the abdomen and sides here and there. My pants fit alittle tighter lately yet I haven't gained any weight. I also have not been losing weight for no reason so I guess that's a good sign
Just trying to figure out if anyone with IBS has these issues ever and if not if anyone has a clue as to what could this be?
Diverticulitis sounds similar to my symptoms but I don't know. I feel like I'm falling apart with this on top of odd blood tests that COULD but hopefully doesn't point toward kidney or adrenal issues and also my thyroid problem.
Thank you
