Pooing blood

Hi all, 

I'm just looking for some experiences similar to mine. 

Currently in A&E awaing test results and to see what (if any) next steps. 

I started with cramping this morning, later in the day I was vomitting and siffering heavy diarreha. Then it was watery. 

Once the vomitting subsided, I had a bath and the pain went away. 

An hour later, I went and did a watery poo, but it turned out to be no poo at all just blood clots. Long streaky ones. Wiped and a bit of mucus mixed with the clots. 

I feel drained, but otherwise all good. 

I also have piles but never known anything like this. 

I called the helpline, they think it's an infection so here I am at the emergency room. 

Anyone else had this with more troubling outcome?

It feels concerning. 

I'm here 4 hours now completely worried waiting to be called again.

  • Welcome to the forum Bubbles although I'm so sorry to hear what you went through on Sunday.

    I hope the hospital were able to give you some answers and that your symptoms have improved since then but if you'd like to talk any of this through with one of our nurses, you can do so on 0808 800 4040, Monday - Friday between 9a.m - 5p.m. They're very friendly and will do all they can to put your mind at ease.

    Many of our members have experienced similar symptoms and know how scary this can be, so you are not alone, and hopefully some of them will stop by soon to share their experiences and advice.

    Kind regards,
