i have been suffering from terrible gas and bloating for 6 months and tested high positive for sibo so left it to that.
Got better with the antibiotics, resumed normal life and since then am until now on a lowfod map diet for the sibo. 7 months and half later have lost 5 kg ( which i atributed to the diet and sibo itself which causes it ) .
After having to take a very agressive antibiotic recently my intestin got very messed up .
Now 1 month and half after i suddently started having for 5 days in a row now, normal consistency poop but with quite some mucus and small pieces of bright red blood in it. Like a strawberry jelly. At the same time also started having cramps when i need to poop and after, and sometimes feel the urge to poop more frequent.
yesterday I also had when trying to pass wind mucus with tiny pieces of blood in it.
I have a colonoscopy in 2 days but dont know how i will handle because im convinced its colon cancer.
its not hemorroids because the blood is only on the jelly in the outside of the stool not in the paper and that wouldnt cause cramps either.
Plus for what i understand also cant be inflammatory bowel disease because i dont have the typical diarreha, so that leaves me only with the worst option left.
Then i start thinking my weight loss could have been this all along, together with the back pain i have for around 2 years.
Has anyone been through this ? Thank you so much

Thanks for posting with us. I hate to hear you’re having these things going on but I do know that having the colonoscopy in two days will give you a lot of answers. That is where I would put your focus. It’s the best thing you can be doing. Doing the prep properly is very important.
As far as the blood in the stool is concerned, that could be a lot of different things. It could be internal hemorrhoids, a fissure, or even a polyp. The beneficial thing about the colonoscopy is that whatever is discovered you’ll get a good picture of it and if necessary, you can take a biopsy as well. There are many things besides the big “C” that could be going on here. Is there a history of cancer in your family? Is there a hereditary aspect to any diseases in your family? Those are some things to know and tell your doctor as that could lead to other tests that may need to be given.
One thing I don’t know is how the antibiotics you’ve been taking over the past year may be playing a role in what you’re experiencing. That would be a good question for your doctor.
I do wish you the best in finding out what’s going on so that you can get back on a path to being well. You won’t have to wait long to get some great answers. Also, please let us know what you find out. Is that type of information that can be helpful to others on this site as well.
Thank you,
