Okay so I’ve been having a weird tummy now for about a month. It started off with abdominal pains which lasts a few days then I started to get blood & mucus in my loose stools, I’m now bloated! I’m belching so much, I can’t see an increase in my farting though and it doesn’t smell any different. I have had full blood tests which show no anemia, very low CRP & ESR, liver and kidney functions are perfect, iron level was good, nothing abnormal was found. I’ve also done a FOB test and no hidden blood was found. No appetite loss (which is good because I love my food!) but I’ve lost a bit of weight (not much)
My stools have changed in size, they are much harder now, really thick in size with no blood and hardly any mucus, a normal brown colour too - I notice my stools float? Is this a concern? I also have this weird rash on my arm which I don’t know is related to my problems. I’m mainly concerned for this bloating as I know it’s a sign of bowel cancer. My poo sort of reassures me as I’m thinking - if a tumour was blocking my colon then surely it wouldn’t get bigger in size? No? I dunno I’m going to see my GP again as it’s improve in some ways - others it hasn’t! What do you guys think?
I’m 23 also. Thanks guys!
