hi,I also have thin stools sometimes looking like pencils,I've had ibs and diverticular disease for 20yrs,have you had acolonoscopy or any other tests,the red blood could be due to piles/hemeroids if you suffer from constipation.your chest sensations could be due to stress if you are worrying about your symptoms.

Yeah I had a blood test done my everything came back normal sept my folate level I have no family history of bowel cancer or anything 

in reply toAndyg174

Did the tests include Coeliac Disease antibodies? If not and you are on a full gluten diet now then it would be worth getting yourself tested because untreated Coeliacs can lead to vitamin and mineral deficiencies including B12 and Folate.
