A few years ago I was having serious bowel issues, I was told it was IBS and I then cut gluten out my diet and it got better. Then a month or so ago the symptoms came back, but not as severe, though I am still on a gluten free diet.
I am having loose BM's once sometimes twice/three times in the morning then sometimes once in the evening, usually with a fair amount of mucus and the second and third time in the morning are very thin. Loperamide and yakult made things slightly better but not great.
I had a blood and stool test done recently, the blood test came back fine but the stool test showed a small trace of blood and Ive been asked to do another one in a week.
I have discomfort in my lower right side above my hip in line with my belly button and I think I might be loosing weight but not totally sure as I tend to fluctuate. I dont feel fatigued and Im eating fine but with the blood present and loose BM's it is very concerning. Im also getting a trembling feeling just below my belly button most evenings.
Im Male 28 and very active. Does it sound concerning or more like IBD ?
