Sample came back clear, but symptoms remain. What do I do?

Hello. Been having excruciating pain in my stomach on and off for just over a year. Then around 4 months ago starting passing stools with blood in. That starts on and off too. It's not just a little bit, the toilets full of blood and i have passed a small clot. I have sent a stool sample off but that has come back clear. Relived but annoyed its come back clear as i could see blood all over the sample. Im going alot more than usual. Sometimes 6 times a day. I got diagnosed with ibs nearly 2 years ago but never had issues like this with ibs until just over a year ago. Is it worth going back to the doctors? Just abit worried thats all, as this isnt normal for me.

    I'm sorry to hear that you're dealing with some intermittent but ongoing health concerns. It's understandable that you're feeling anxious. 

    Please do get back in touch with your GP as they will be best placed to arrange any appropriate further tests or referrals.
