Bowel - what were your symptoms?

Hello everyone

hope you don't mind me asking but wondering what peoples symptoms were?

i have had many episodes of pain in lowers abdomen left side right side and middle. Also a couple of episodes of being very sick and having diarrhoea at the same time both 2 months apart. I have lost a stone in weight also. I have once or twice in the last noticed blood when I wipe but nothing I was concerned about. And either go to the toilet often or struggle to go at all. 
 

I had a fit test last week result was over 200 (didn't say how high just said 200 ans the didn't measure it higher than that) and a blood test was 50.

im not to worried till I have anything to worry about but also I must be or I wouldn't be posting this!

im 52 years old.

 

thank you for reading and much love to all

  • Hi 

    Hope your ok, when is your appointment?

    Yea I have been referred have a telephone triage appt tomorrow when they will book me in for further testing. My gp said my results were very high and she expects a colonoscopy and ct scan. She said if no ct she would refer me again under ovarian for a ct scan but that the ovarian markers were high but not as high as the bowel which was very high.

    I don't know what it all even means! I guess it's not time to worry until we have something to worry about!

    Let me know how you get on with your tests.

  • Just wondering did either of you have bad wind, indigestion and stomach noises? I am full of wind constantly. It's really worrying me as I can't eat anything. 
    I haven't had bleeding apart from a trace a month ago but my stools are looser and unpredictable. 
    it's all so worrying and the waiting doesn't help especially when you're an anxious person! 
    wishing you both well with upcoming tests.

  • Hi

    i have had the feeling and pain of trapped wind but find it hard to get rid of can only burp really, and even if I do the pain will still be there so it isnt relived as trapped wind usually is once expelled. 
     

    Have you been to the Drs? You should if you are worried.

  • I went in December & was referred for a pelvic scan to check ovaries. That was clear but radiologist said bowels full of gas & to get checked. Went to doc again & now having apt with specialist tomorrow eve, got a cancellation luckily. I'm very very worried. Is excess wind and indigestion and bowel cancer symptom? The pressure in my rectum and my back pain are defo concerning me. I just am an anxious mess to be honest. 

  • As far as I am aware no they are not symptoms but I am no expert of course. Anything could be causing it. Good luck at your appointment let me know how it goes.
