Worries about Symptoms? Celiac?

[kchal2]

A bit of a background this year has been very stressful for me as my parents haven suffered medical conditions and then COVID-19 and I’m generally a anxious person. I am a 26 year old female and I have lost a couple of kilo but that could be from anxiety plus I am now the weight I was before I had my son in August 2018. For the last 2 and a half months I have experienced a funny tummy after eating certain foods and intermittent constipation. I have still managed to go to the toilet every day however and it takes me only a couple of minutes however sometimes i feel I haven’t evacuated properly. Since then handful of times I have noticed small amounts of red blood on/in my stool. I do know I have Hemmeroids as I can physically see 3/4 and sometimes when I got to the bathroom I have a mild burning sensation and sometimes in between bowel movements my bum feels itchy. In conjunction with this I have experience dull upper right quadrant/right side pains on and off and a really loud grumbly belly and gassiness. My poo is sometimes a yellowy colour and sometimes brown.

I have sought medical advise and had a positive fecal occult test in one of the three samples which is being followed up by a colonoscopy this Thursday.

I’m so worried sick, what could this be? I can’t help but think the worse.

Hi, it’s good that you’ve sought medical advice and have got a colonoscopy coming up. It will let you know what you are dealing with, and hopefully a plan to cope with whatever it is.

If it is inconclusive and you are still having problems, try keeping a food diary to see if you can track down the particular foods that disagree with you.

Good luck, hope you get some answers.

Probably best to ask the doctors due to the complexity of your symptoms. It's best not to seek medical advice from lay people/diagnosis for forums. Your doctor is the best person to speak with.

If you regularly get a feeling like you haven't evacuated properly, then it could be worth investigating something called a Squatty Potty, which helps align your bowels better

I hope your colonoscopy is able to given you some guidance on your other issues.
