Im 30F, no smoking/drinking but I do drink coke every single day and have done since I was 5!
Last year I suddenly got constipated, usually i go to the toliet once a day everyday. I put it down to stress and due to the constipation I started to notice tiny streaks of bright red blood in my stool.
I then got sick with other things (strep throat, covid, ecoli uti) and had the worst stomach pain for 5 weeks straight. Burning like crazy when I ate anything, sometimes relieved by antacids.
Assumed it was from antibiotics. Then it just disappeared & all symptoms went away.
Now from March again I've noticed blood in my stool a few times a week & more frequent constipation. One day there was alot of blood on the toliet paper, bright red and burning sometimes, but no visible hemorrhoids.
Been to see the dr many times and she's just fobbing me off with laxido. I'm trying to eat more fiber & for the most part my stool looks normal most days.
Got a qfit test which was negative, but I'm still seeing blood streaks on the outside of my stool. Im so anxious beyond belief everyday & having to inspect my stool everytime i go. :((
Somedays theres bright red streaks, others theres light brown streaks & sometimes even looks like white chunks which is very strange.
I have lost some weight, have sore bones & tierd alot, but the DR doesn't seem concerned. Does this sound familiar to anyone else & if so- what was the outcome?
I had blood tests at Christmas which were fine, also paid privately for an upper abdominal scan which said liver, pancreas, gallbladder was fine but theres been no tests on the stomach or colon yet.
Thanks in advance
