I did think this myself that a why I left it for so long then the stomach cramps start, my doctor examined me and said I don't have haemorrhoids or fissures.

Hi Emma
It's good that you're having this all checked out.
Try not to get too worried. Blood in the stools can be caused by many things.
You may have some piles from childbirth. And you could also have Irritable Bowel Syndrome.
Try and keep your chin up, and enjoy your babies. Stress always adds to any symptoms we experience.
Hang in there, and let us know how the colonoscopy goes. xo

Hi sweet Emma,
I am 52 now, but was your exact same age when I had to have my first Colonoscopy due to fecal blood and Gastroscopy for other symptoms. Mine ended up being Gastritis and IBS. I know you are worried about the test, but I will tell you the same thing I tell my daughters who are your age. It is better to get it done and know what you are dealing with than to put it off and keep worrying about it. The sooner the better and then hopefully, it won't be as bad as what you are worrying about. I remember how scary that can be, but you are in my prayers and thank goodness you have youth and health on your side, because it is very rare for the C word to affect your demographic. Good luck and please keep us posted, sweety.

You are so welcome sweety. I know exactly what you mean about overthinking and over worrying. My younger daughter has Crohn’s and my older daughter has food allergies and intolerances, so have our share of that too. Take good care and at least there are treatments for Crohn’s and many other gi diseases. 💜
