I am so scared and depressed. I have had bowel problems for 6 months. stools changing colour yellow to brown. I'm either constipated or have loose stools. I havent had a really poo in weeks just tiny ones here and there. I've had blood twice but only a very small dot. serve gas and feel heavy in the back passage. I have added fibre but that isn't helping. I'm still waiting for a doctors appointment. Anyone had something similar. thank you

    If you have the money, why wait. You will have to see the doctor, who will then refer you. Could be weeks. You could go private and get this done in two weeks. Why wait, if you have the money.

    Have you had your doctor's appointment yet? These symptoms could be caused by many things. I know it's hard, but try not to jump straight to the worse case scenario. You are doing the right thing by seeing a doctor. You just need to wait to see what they say. Hang in there!

      Hi!. Yes went to the doctor. They had a look with a small camera and stool samples. All came back normal, however still referred to hospital. Just waiting for the appointment. Dr Google is great for making you aware but also causes so much stress!

      Good to hear your results came back normal, that must have been a relief. Best wishes for your hospital appointment!

      I understand. It just seems to creep into your life and you start thinking it's normal. That's pretty scary isnt it. I hope your appointment offers you some reassurance.
