What were your symptoms and how were diagnosed?!
Posted , 4 users are following.
I have been having stomach issues for about 2 years. It started off with me getting diarrhea. My stool was also yellow or green at times. Then came the toilet with blood. Immediately I panicked. I went to the doctor and all labs were normal except my Neutrophils which were elevated. I had a CT scan, fobt, and colonoscopy and all can back clear. I am terrified I have IBD or colon cancer. I have Elevated Neutrophils and diarrhea followed by days of bleeding. Since 2 years ago I have only went 4 1/2 months without bleeding. It usually happens every other month after a day or two of diarrhea and lasts for a few days. I am meeting with a new Gastro today and hopefully getting another colonoscopy to get to the bottom of things. Can someone please help? I’m so stressed with all of this.

I have the same fears as you for 1+ year. In the meantime I read all the internet forums, articles about bloody stools, mucus and similar things. What I learned so far is that people are rarely diagnosed with cancer. If you're not old and your colonoscopy came back clear chances for cancer are really minimal.
When it comes to yellow stools, I noticed them every times I'm panicking and have attacks of health anxiety. Chances are this is the case with you too.
If there was anything serious I assume they would notice that during colonoscopy.
How about IBS? Did they found any hemorrhoids, anal fissures?

You should not worry about the color of your stool. More you worry, more yellow it will be
Try to relax (I know that's not easy right now) and things will get better.
After reading many internet posts etc I think that colitis hits people who tends to worry too much, pessimistic and depressive people.
Your diarrhea could be caused by IBS and bleeding could be due to hemorrhoids or something benign like that. Just try not to worry too much!

Hi well I had a bad meal and then the men in white coats decided to call it crohns in those days I couldn't affords a computer so ha I believed them only to find out the symptoms I had was u/c moving on from those idiots, so the medicine I receive is for u/c of course they would never admit their mistakes but I hope karma will get them. look I know it gets bad sometimes but their will be an answer out there for you and never say never stress is a big thing with these diseases, take time out for yourself, pamper yourself if you like to read, watch a movie find something that interest only you and keep letting it out by typing the way you feel the worse thing is to bottle yourself up because your not alone we have all walked in the same direction the bloody loo.
