I've always struggled with constipation and have never had a 'regular pattern' but over the last month or so things noticably changed in that I felt like I needed to go to the toilet but nothing would come and when I did manage to go there was a lot of mucus tangled up in my poop and I was passing mucus. I upped my fluids and fruit and veg putting it down to dehydration and not enough fibre but when that didn't clear it up I called the doctor. She asked me to do a faecal sample and made a follow up appointment for a week, at that appointment the doctor said that my first sample didn't show infection but she felt my tummy and internally and said she couldn't feel any lumps or anything sinister but she asked me to do another scoop sample and the fit test plus blood tests.
yesterday I was out with a friend when my GP called to say both tests had come back as abnormal. I went into complete shock and didn't ask any questions because I was in a public place but now I'm completely freaking out and don't know if she meant my poop and blood tests were both abnormal or both poop tests. I've been put on a 2 week pathway for a colonoscopy but I'm falling to pieces with anxiety. The less sinister possibilities of Chrons or colitis both seem to come with diorreah and I haven't had that.
has anyone experienced anything similar?
