Diarrhea for over a year and recurring hemorrhoids weekly

Posted , 10 users are following.

I am a very active 25 year old male.... I am not sure why i left this unnoticed for so long but I did not thing nothing of my soft stools.  I have BM 3-5 times daily and are pencil like and thin mostly.  I have had constipation also and hemoroids recurring sometimes 2-3 times in a week.  This has been very stressful and made my anxiety level high.  After 2 months of taking Probiotics and diet changing and seeing no results I am now scheduled for a colonoscopy at the end of the month.  Can somebody tell me what they think this may be?  I have only had blood in stool 1 time in the last year but symtpoms have been stomach pains sometimes after eating, diarrhea, and hemorroids.

Thanks to whomever can give advice

      I've been dealing with terrible abdominal pain and neausea for the past 1 1/2 years. Has change my entire life. Nothing ever showed up in blood test or x-rays, ct scans or any of the numerous tests. Last week I had another endoscopy and have been diagnosed with H PYLORI. nothing showed in the firs endoscopy 1 year ago. So yesterday I started the treatment for H Pylori. It's miserable taking these antibiotics and other pills , but I am determined to do this. So tired of doctors , tests and feeling like I'm on my last breath every day. So many meds , I have to set alarms to spread the pills out a little. So that interferes with sleep. But at least I finally have an answer. Just pray that it's the right answer.

      Yes, he might want to wait for the biopsie results and doc visit till updating us.

      As for to you, you seem to suffer indigestion, as to why, I have no idea.

      Red water melon pulp does pass through undigested at times though, red food dye often seen. That's normal. (I love to eat beetroot...)

      You would need a food diary and write symptoms/stool down too, to see, if there was a connection of certain foods triggering loose stools (malabsorbtions?)

      Your stool has been tested for parasites/pathogens, right?

      That would be the first thing to do.

      Then watching if any triggers existed, trying different diets even and watch out what happened. Unfortunately it's a bit of an effort, elemination diets are going on for days, not just one day and jump to the next food....quite annoying to do, but you shall get answers and if the answer is: stool/discomfort not influenced by diet. That's an answer as well and a valuable info to doc.

      ALL THE BEST!

      PS: you better print out free forms otherwise food diary/ bowel reaction writing can get quite messy/unclear.

      Just search internet for 'diary food stool' images and you get a template, which you like. You want a combined one, for time and which food and if symptoms (stomach) and when and which bowel movement. Or you create your own, but I highly recommend to have a form, lines. A 'diary' alone is very confusing, you need charts on one form to just fill in systematically.

      Good luck!
