Feel like I need to have BM but can’t, and nausea?
Posted , 2 users are following.
Hey everyone,
So I am 19 years old, almost 20. Lately I have had some strange symptoms with my bowels and stomach. Usually I will have a bowel movement (BM) in the morning that is EXTREMELY easy to pass and almost feels like it is falling out of my body. They look fairly normal but sound greasy as they are coming out (I know it’s gross, I’m sorry).
Then as the day progresses, I will persistently feel like I need to have another BM, but no matter how hard I strain, nothing will come out. And if anything does come out they are thin and short, followed by a very small amount of blood on the toilet paper when I wipe (but the blood has been happening for years). No blood in the stool that I can see, and I am very nauseous throughout the day as well.
I had a colonoscopy and upper endoscopy done last June and those both came back clear as far as I know. So I just want to know, is anyone else experiencing these symptoms? If so, what was your diagnosis? Is it just IBS? Colon Cancer? I know people can get colon cancer at a young age.
Thanks for your feedback,
Joey

Has your gallbladder been checked via ultrasound or HIDA scan?

Bowel cancer is very rare at your age but IBS is far more common especially if you suffer from anxiety. A clear colonoscopy and endoscopy is good news for you. I have had loose, thin stools with IBS which causes bowel habit change. Had your doctor suggested any diagnosis?

Maybe change your doctor to get someone who can tell you definitely what is wrong. If you have IBS, it is important to get a firm diagnosis.
Were you ever tested for celiac?
