For the past 3 Months I have had constant diarhea , cramping , and  blood in stool. I constantly feel unwell all the time and depressed that I have to rush to the toilet or feel like i need to go but nothing comes out. Past 3 months have really been bad before i only got it 1/2 every month since august.. before that nothing. I chose to ignore it as it wasnt really a problem however in April it got so bad that I have had to take time of work. Been to the Doctors took blood test nothing came back , gone to the hospital did samples still awaiting results and having to wait for the camera . Im just so stressed out as next month im going to america ( catching planes / coaches is scaring the hell out of me ) I just need a little hope and was wondering if anyone could understand / relate to my problems ? anything that helps please I am desperate its starting to take over my life..

    Hi Amy, I don't want to make you feel worse and I don't know the full extent of your symptoms but have you asked them to check for a prolapse? I t took them a year to find mine as I have diverticular as well so that was confusing them and all the tests didn't show up that it was fully prolapsed till the consultant surgeon did a "hands on" examination under anathetic and then they found out that was what it was. Now, I'm not saying yours is the same but do make sure they cover all the possibilities for you and take someone along if it helps, best wishes and keep us posted and try not to think the worst, Fiona

    Hi Amy, feel for you. Frustrating and unsettling. I suggest seek second opinion.

    I have similar symptoms, I can't pass stools though although I do have bowel movement but it seems to be very slow! I always get cramping, especially after bowel movement and accompanied my some blood however not all the time, have you been to see a specialist yet? M
