PLEASE HELP! GETTING DISTRESSED! I appreciate its long but please😰
Posted , 7 users are following.
So it may be long and I'm so sorry.
So before Christmas I randomly became ill, every time I ate I got stomach pains and this resulted in me loosing my appetite getting faint ect. went to my doctors and she said I was constipated (even though I was still having bowel movements regularly) so I had laxatives for 2 weeks and everything seemed to get better.
Then around 11 weeks later it came back, again eating gave me pains, made me feel sick, lost my appetite, phoned my doctor and put me back on laxatives! Also had a cough that I couldn't rid for around 6/7 weeks so was also put on antibiotics. Again it went.
Now again around 11 weeks since it last happened it has returned but a lot more to it! I used to go to the toilet regually once a day and my stools were always consistent. Now however my stools are more balls that contain mucas all the time and now and then bits of fresh blood (but not always) they fluctuate between being soft and hard however I cannot no matter how much I strain pass them untill I physically pull it out (sorry😁) I was going 5/6/7 times a day and my rectal passage was compacted with stools every time I went however now I go sometimes 3,4/5 sometimes not at all for days!😩 but I constinatly feel the need to go!
along with loss of appetite, stomach pains after eating ect I now eat food and 9/10 it causes wind and then for it to come back up into my mouth😷.
As well as this I am also getting abdominal pains on my left side mostly bottom but can move upwards but I also get it on my right lower side and can get it near my navel, it's so hard to describe because it doesn't feel like anything I have felt before, so I'm going to refer it to like a fireball like a burning but also feel like it's expanding if that makes sense. I have been to my doctors and my stomach was tender he said it was swollen and put me on omeprazole and sominax but anything that makes the stool softer makes it harder to pass because it's to soft for me to pull out so I stopped he then put me on microlax and when I push that out it's with blood and lots of mucas always. Some days I can be ok, other days I really struggle, especially from fatigue.
Can anyone help with just a clinch at what this could be? I am awaiting bloods and then should be being referred to a specialist but I feel like this is a long painful road for someone who sometimes can't eat or pass stools and really would like to know what I'm looking at.
Also I have had lower back pain usually on the right which was persistent for 3 weeks and now is on/ off could this be related or separate issue?

but sometimes there is a waiting list for weeks, you could rush it along by paying to go private for initial consultation, its not cheap, think about 25o, but worth it if your distressed and ill with it, just to get to see specialist within a week or so, get diagnoses and treatment. l also have light diet, eat little day time, drink plenty and small snack, light meal early evening
pots, veg, fish or chicken, never eat till getting full feeling, Good luck

Annoyingly my bloods have come back normal and my doctor put at note saying ( no action required) which has infuriated me as if she is applying that I am fine, when I know in myself im not!
I have all those symptoms as well as my bowels and over the past two days heaving and sometimes vomiting after food.
I have my doctor Thursday however so I'm just going to have to wait till then

Do a lot of research and try to help yourself, most doctors seem to lose interest eventually. My next step will be private and I don't mind having to pay, shove it on the credit card lol. Hope you feel better soon.

My bloods have also come back normal, doctor added a not saying (no action needed) I'm not sure what that's ment to mean but I'm not fine so I will be going back, obviously much to her annoyance!
I currently cannot afford private as an option😞 I have done lots of research but am litrally at a loss.

You had bloodworks and stool sample (hemoccult) all came back negative? Yeah, you should ask for a specialist right away, for colonoscopy. I had abdominal issues too but not to that extent. I have bm 1-3times per day, sometimes the 3rd bm will have some kind of loose yellow mucus but not attach to a stool. My bm size and color varies from day to day, most often in a soft side from light brown to dark brown. I don't really strain unless i'm having a bad bm like a diarrhea. Please Keep us posted here for results would love to read your experiences.

Yours sounds quite drastic, there are other bowel conditions that can cause bad symptoms, like colitus, crohns, ceoliac, but there might be others reply who have symptoms as bad with ibs. But if definetly needs looking at by a specialist and scope. Hope youve not to wait long.
