Hi what was your out come

Hi i have Pan Colitis....Ulcerative colitis of the entire bowel x

Thankyou hope your doing well now my symptoms are same as yours with hardly any pain I'm freaking out. Do you mind if I ask your age 

Hi , I am 35 and have mucus with blood for 8 months along with bloating stomach constantly rumbling and gurgling I always have an urgency for the toilet in the morning.  I'm so scared and worried it's something serious.  I couldn't get an hospital appointment until recently because of the pandemic they took bloods and a sample over a week ago and I'm just waiting in panic. Its actually been destroying me with anxiety for months thinking the worst constantly googling things.  

Hi I'm 37 my anxiety was through the roof, I had a colonoscopy last week I have some kind on colitis they've took samples to find out which type and I should know soon. Colitis is commonly diagnosed in mid 30s my symptoms are the same as yours try to think positive

HI I have the same symptoms a small ache below the right ribs. CT on Wednesday, once I have the results I will let you guys know 

Hi, I was also supposed to have a colonoscopy due to the symptoms from December but it also got cancelled due to COVID but now it's rescheduled to the 14th of sep. I was wondering if anyone can give me advice and my symptoms are mentioned below.

They think I have small bowel Crohn's

it all started off in December my first symptom out of nowhere I was experiencing severe diarrhea and at first I ignored it because I was too embarrassed to talk to anyone about what I went through especially when I have been going to the toilet constantly. When I ignored my symptom I started getting really bad abdominal pain and then I also realised I had blood on my stool also mucus which also had blood but then I still carried on ignoring it and I just kept it to myself because it felt too personal to me to talk about it to a doctor I just felt too embarrassed. I then thought maybe it would stop but then my diarrhea was just constant I had it from December all the way to January and then it was going on all the way till march and April. Another symptom I went through and I hated the most was loss of appetite every time I used to eat food an hour or two I had really bad abdominal pains and I couldn't handle the pain and I kept feeling sick after eating and half of the time I just felt really bloated so I decided to avoid eating half of the time because anything I really ate gave me pain and I was scared of experiencing that pain and eventually I started to eat less to avoid my symptoms which made me lose a lot of weight. I constantly use to scream at my mum because she forced me to eat I ended up getting really bad stomach pains and it just put me off eating, however there were times I was able to eat but constant periods I had really bad abdominal pains which frightened me to continue to eat anything.  I also have been experiencing constant fever I kept having high temperature and feeling tired and dizzy and I just felt isolated and upset. When I had my fever i felt so cold despite having a hot water bottle, a duvet on top of me and a fluffy blanket and I couldn't speak to my mum because I felt like she wouldn't understand and I also didn't understand what's going on with me.  My fever then ended up coming back in June and it was horrible

Hi Cupcakes, I have had similar symptoms as you with the exception of fever. I was referred for a colonoscopy which will be done on the 16th sept symptoms started in April.

My GP quickly tried to brush this under the IBS heading, 

but my symptoms persisted and got significantly worse.

In June I started to loose hair and my finger nails went opaque (to date 5 have fallen off! With the remaining 5 likely to come off too) I had a blood test which showed anemia and B12 deficiency. the medication I was given hasn't really helped.

I still pass loose stools with significant amounts of bloody mucus.

Hopefully I will have some answers on Wednesday.

Hi all. 

I have had very similar symptoms to alot of you. Mostly mucus in stool, periods where my bowels feel full. I think I saw blood once but unsure. I've got blood tests and a stool sample to do and I'm just looking for some piece of mind really. 

Have any of you resolved this? 

Those that have said they have proctitis, what was the cause? 

Thankyou for any responses 

Hi, I have exactly the same symptoms as you. I'm 26 and sooo scared. Did you ever receive a diagnosis?

I wanted to post on this bc over the last couple of weeks I was glued to this forum worried about my girlfriend who is 27 and had been bleeding with mucus for the last 5 months, intermittently and then more consistently and heavier to the point where it was every day. Strangely she maintained a regular consistency and didn’t increase the visits to the loo. Also she had bloating and loud stomach gurgling She was recommended an urgent colonoscopy after a stool sample for occult blood. I was completely prepared for the worst and luckily she came back with procitis, the doctor was very reassuring and she’s responded q quickly to meds. The symptoms were very severe I’m amazed it was a mild case. Wish everyone the best. (Sorry if you’ve seen the same post in different threads, just wanted to post this experience to offer some reassurance)

Hi [@Jay7]‍  how have you got on ? I have very loose stool for around 7 months.  Mucus  and and blood becoming more often - noticed it once a month now more.  Bloated, sore left abdomen and gas.  I also run to the toilet in the morning.

Hi I have had diarreah blood and mucus in stool for four weeks. I was tested and they said in was gastrointeritis they did a stool test and said no bacteria but didn't check for parasites. I'm off my food and loosing weight, probably as I'm not eating. I find it difficult to drink water and my anxiousness is off the charts. I will be having a full body scan and a camera soon after that. Stools are yellow, but look slimey and stringy. I'm just scared of everything now, the test the findings everything. I lost my dad to covid and am worried about taking the test . I need advice and support please anyone 

[@disneyqueen]‍ hi - try not worry.  I have drastically changed my diet to a low fodmap diet and it has helped so so much! I was convinced I had something bad wrong with me.  

Thank you so much for replying. I get quite nautilus and feel twinges of pain under my ribs as well as stomach I'm trying to be positive but I'm afraid it is getting too much. What kind of diet is that and what do you eat. I'll try anything at the moment 

Thank you for answering what do yo7 eat on this diet.I'm really worried and I guess that doesn't help. 

Hi all

I've had similar symptoms to this now for a few weeks. I'm 28.

Started about 2 weeks ago, saw blood when wiping and on outside of stool. Then smaller traces the next morning but nothing after that for about a week. Then the past week every time I have saw blood (bar Sunday afternoon). Bowel movements have been painless and haven't gone up or down in frequency. No weight loss or fatigue. Most times have seen mucus too. Went the doctors on Monday, they felt around abdomin area for lumps/pain but luckily nothing there. Also had digital (finger) rectal exam which took a few seconds - couldn't feel anything but blood on finger when removed. Said it was likely to be something like haemorrhoids or a fissure but forwarded me on for a further exam so I'm waiting to hear from that. Also submitted stool sample and blood sample on Tuesday so waiting to hear from that. 
 

No family history of any bowel cancer, polyps or any IBD.
 

I'm really scared. Still seeing blood and mucus when I go the toilet (about the same amount) which I know would still be happening if it's haemorrhoids or a fissure, but the waiting and having my health out of my hands is tough. Struggling to focus at work or on anything else when I'm not working. 
 

Reading the posts on here has helped a bit, as it seems nobody was diagnosed with Cancer, but until I hear back, I'm not sure I'll be able to relax. 
 

Any advice would be hugely appreciated. And good luck to anyone else waiting on results.

I had my scan yesterday and they couldn't see anything. I can have a colonoscopy this week. I was told it could be a parasite or the amount of stress due to my dad dying of covid that has elevated the situation. I only have mucus in stool now so they said it was a fissure or something . It's been going on for  a month but blood has gone. I'm trying to be positive and am undecided about the colonoscopy. I know how you are feeling. Don't worry you can always chat to me if it makes you feel better. Together we will support each other. 
 

Thanks so much for your response.

I'm so sorry to hear about your Dad. I can't imagine how I'd be coping under the same circumstances.
 

It's good news that your scan showed nothing. And I'd be feeling the same about a colonoscopy. Ultimately, I'd probably just ask the doctor what they thought I should do and go with that. May be uncomfortable for a bit but that'll be temporary. It may allow them to confirm it as a fissure which would be a relief. 
 

I'm finding it hard not to read something into every little thing at the minute. Feel like I've had more gas lately but that's likely a result of me eating more fresh fruit and veg to get more fibre in my diet. Last few bowel movements have been more runny -  but I'm constantly nervous/have butterflies in my stomach, so it's probably down to that. I've been on Google probably a couple of times a day, but that's mostly helped as i tend to just keep re-reading the facts about how likely it is to be something minor due to my age and symptoms and everything else. Reminding myself that my doctor also said it's probably nothing serious is also helping.

Here to talk if you need anything. I'd say again- it's a huge positive that they've not found anything serious from the scan! 

Thank you so much, I needed the positive support. You are right a little discomfort is worth it if they can reassure me there is nothing wrong. I will be here if you need to chat and between us we will get through this. I have stopped looking up possible reasons for my problem now. It sends me mad. It will be over as soon as possible so I think I will have to brave it. Thank you for your support and for saying about dad. It's been a very tough year for so many people x

Thanks. I'm here too if you need to chat.

I'm not actually sure what the best case scenario I can hope for from the stool and blood sample results are. Whether they can rule out the serious stuff altogether or whether it just allows them to say the serious illnesses are more/less likely? Would be a huge weight off if they could rule out the serious stuff. Not sure when I'll hear as I only submitted my samples on Tuesday.

Mine took four days . They didn't do parasite test though. Everything  came back clear except the parasite test as they didn't do it. They have fast tracked the other tests because they know I'm nervous and I want reassuring. Don't worry. I had the same symptoms as you and bloods and stool came back clear. They just want to check why I'm naucious too and in pain when I eat. Because yo7 are not losing weight and have no pain that's a great sign xx
