Hello iv had a really bad stomach for the last ten days, I have a stomach ache and it feels bruised to touch I feel sick on and off and generally not feeling well I'm really worried I might have perforated bowel or rectom due to a enema, the doctor has given me meds for ibs but I still don't feel right

    Would this be a symptom of a perforated bowel or would I know about it by now?

    I am really sorry that I cannot answer your question.  Ten days is a long time to have stomach ache etc. without having a diagnosis or treatment.  If you are in England then ring 111 for advice or go to an Urgent Care Centre.

    Hope you are soon feeling better.

    Take care and please keep in touch.

      I know IBS can be painful and can get worse with stress but that doesn't mean that if you are in a lot of pain you shouldn't get it checked out.

      Even though you only consulted a doctor yesterday doesn't mean you cannot ring 111 for advice today.

      I always say better safe than sorry, and worrying won't solve anything.

      Take care and keep in touch.

    Sorry 111 were not helpful.  I hope you are taking care of yourself.  I would ring doctors tomorrow afternoon and ask when results will be back, they are usually sent electronically so doctors receive them quicker than waiting for them to arrive in the post.

    Hope you feel better soon. Keep in touch.

      Don't ring your doctor until the afternoon, Monday mornings are hectic and doctors don't have time to look at patients results.

      I hope you get some answers from the IBS forum.

      Take care and keep in touch.

      hello lynn, i rang the doctor for my blood result and everything can back normal apart from slightly high cholesterol, which is good in a way but it still doesnt explain the stomach aches and would ibs or bowel issues show up in a fbc anyway? im still waiting on the result from the stool sample.

      Hope you are feeling better Carl.  It's really GOOD news that your blood tests are normal.  I cannot say if IBS or bowel issue would show up in a fbc but it does show if there is infection, anaemia etc., etc.  Hopefully your stool result will be back soon and you can take things from there.

      My husband has had continual stomach pain and loose stools since he had a nasty tummy bug in May.  Despite numerous blood tests, bowel stool screening and a gastroscopy no serious cause has been found. He is on medication for IBS, lansoprazole and painkillers and is excluding various foods from his diet ( on a monthly basis ) to see if his pain improves but so far he has had no luck. His Professor believes that the nerves in his stomach went haywire when he had his tummy bug and that they will eventually settle down, only time will tell.!

      Take care and keep in touch.

    The yearning for the sensual pleasures, and the masturbation causes IBS. But not for everyone.
