Bowel problems

Hi. Iv noticed for the past 2 to 3 weeks my bowel movements are one day pencil thin and the next day diaherea.  Sometimes I feel I'm pushing to empty my bowels. Some days I feel bloated. After eating I notice I have grumbling noise at the lower end of my stomach. Not very loud though ( near to the bum ) . Dr google is causing my anxiety to high levels. Has anyone else had these symptoms?  I have appointment with an advance nurse next week.  Should I be worried?

  • That reading means there is blood in your poo. That's it, really. It sounds like quite a lot of blood, but the FIT test gives no indication of what is causing the blood, just tells you it's there. It could be many things, diverticulitis, a polyp, ulcerative colitis, Crohn's, cancer...probably a load more I've never even heard of too.

    Best of luck with the colonoscopy.
