Stomach issue

I have been having some discomfort in my abdomen when I eat certain foods and sometimes when I wipe it’s bright red blood on the toilet paper...... no

Loss of appetite, I’m still hungry as ever... just a little nervous ...... has anyone experienced this

Hi Rod1984 ,I just replied to your private message. I'm glad you have a doctor's appointment coming up with a GI specialist.

In preparation of your appointment with your doctor, be sure to have written down a list of all medications that you are currently taking, including over-the-counter medications and supplements. Often, patients with GI issues will also keep a food journal to track food and beverage intake, bowel movements, any pain or bleeding, etc. This could be useful information for your doctor. Additionally, it could show you a pattern (for instance, possibly being lactose intolerant, if you experience diarrhea after eating dairy).

Good luck and please let us know how it goes!
