Hello, and thanks for posting again,

We can't diagnose anyone on the forum and if your symptoms continue then do go back and talk it through with your GP. That is what they are there for so don't think that you are bothering them if you are worried.

In the meantime whilst you wait for your appointment you may consider having a look at your diet and whether this has an effect on your bowels. Eating plenty of fruit and vegetables and enough fibre in our diet is so important in maintaining a healthy gut and most of the time we don't eat enough.

It is also important to try and be as mobile as possible as this helps the bowels to work more effectively as well as drinking at least 2 litres of fluid a day.

You could keep a food diary to monitor what your eating to see if there are any triggers that cause your symptoms.

The NHS have produced some information called Eatwell which is quite a useful guide to what we should be eating. You can see it here

I do hope that your symptoms improve.

All the best,

Catherine

Thank you, I'm into fitness and attend the gym 3 days a week and have a heavy physical job- I also watch what I eat- but there could be something that doesn't agree with me. Sorry for too much information but it's itchy and often feels as though I need to go to the toilet but nothing comes out. I think I'll ring the GP I just don't want to be wasting time for nothing.
