Hi GodLovesUs,

Thank you for posting with us. I hate to see that you’re having this going on but what you need to do is focus on getting answers. Do you have access to a doctor to get some testing done? A simple way to start is to get a FIT test from a doctor or there are some that can be done from home. This would be a start to see if there is blood in the stool. It is hard to determine from a picture and absolutely necessary to get a definitive answer. Without that, you are left to speculation and that can drive up worry and anxiety.

You did say you have had this going on for the past 3 months, so it would be a good idea to get some good answers. Also know that blood in the stool can be caused by many different things. Focusing on finding out if it is blood and then finding the cause is the way to go.

I do wish you the best in finding out what’s going on. Please do get it checked out by your doctor doing that. It’s always good to have answers so you don’t have to speculate. Please focus your efforts on getting those answers and that will put you on the path to being well as soon as possible.

Another thing to mention is you are young. That is a big benefit. A diagnosis needs to be given for the symptoms presented. Never accept that something couldn't be the issue because you are 34. You have a symptom that needs to be checked out and it doesn't matter if you are young or old.

Also, please let us know what you find out from any testing that you have done. It is that type of information that can be helpful to others on this site as well.

Thank you,
