Hi what was your out come

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

I am very worried because today I had terrible griping pains and went to the toilet to find it contained pink bloody mucus.  I have had a pain in my left side for ages which I thought was IBS so have been buying over the counter meds, pain goes away for a week then returns, lots of wind and bloating.  Now stools have turned bright yellow!  Waiting for a call from the doctor..please has anyone else had this?

Hi before Christmas I had bright yellow diarrhoea and it was mixed with mucus. I had blood streaks in the stool. Don't panic. They explained to me that it needed to be investigated and tests will be done. Because they were really calm and knowledgeable about what they would do I became more calm. The yellow stools turned out to be a small infection and my anxiety. I had a colonoscopy and they found a small polyps which will be removed. The blood has now gone and so has the infection they tell me . I still have mucus and pains but no blood so that's a positive. Keep strong . I'm always here x

Thank you..I have to see the doctor for an examination on Thursday..so worried but at least I will know what it is.  The pain in my side has been there since last March and I was too frightened to go to the doctor so now I am going at last x

Let me know how you get on. Please Don't worry . Once you know what is causing the problem you will much better because then you can find the solution x 

UPDATE:

I am still waiting for my Colonoscopy Biopsies results, however I have just rang the hospital and they said that the surgeon is due to look at them next week. For an 'urgent referral' it's a longish wait.

I've had no issues since the clear out, just persistant floating stools.

All the best to everyone, enjoy the sunshine today :)

Xx

Bless you. Let us know when you receive your results, think positive xx

Thank you so much :) 

I hate waiting haha 

Hope you are doing okay? x

Some results today, my top to toe scan was all clear. Was told mucus could be because of polyps and the streaks of blood seen before were too. Suggested the removal of polyps but wasn't worried about it. 

the abscess needed to be drained but in sheer panic I bathed it with salty water. It burst on its own and although painful I'm feeling more positive. Thank you for all your support 

So I had my flexible sigmoidoscopy today. I was so nervous, not so much for the procedure but worrying what they might come across. 
 

I haven't had any blood for a while now and I've come to the conclusion that I only get it when I'm constipated. I still get mucus with most stools, but not as much as I used to get. 
 

Nothing was found during the flexible sigmoidoscopy, no haemorrhoids, proctitis, polyps etc. To say I'm relieved is an understatement.
 

if anyone has any questions please feel free to reply to this response (so I get notifications)

Hi 

Ive had similar to you. Been fobbed off with ibs for aslong as i can remember as bloods etc come back normal and because of my age. Since my appendix ruptured in 2013 its only got worse mucus and blood in stool and pain in all my right side and lower back. My gp eventually took a stool sample which come back with something high in it. Now waiting for a referral for possible colonoscopy.

Really anxious of all the tests.

Good luck to all.xx
