15th July 2007
Symptoms
Aged 33
History of bowel problems ranging from wanting to go soon after eating and diarrhoea.
2 weeks of constant Diarrhoea after taking Amoxicillin
Needing to go to the toilet up to 7 times a day
Stools range from soft to medium but not always watery
No pain on going to toilet
No pain in abdomen
Severe anxiety often causing bowel movements (IBS?)
Bowel movements causing a “need o go quickly” (IBS?)
Bloody stool is usually the last little stool come out, not a huge amount of blood but visible on close inspection and a small blob of maroon blood on tissue.
Bloody stool doesn’t happen a lot but seems to come at the back end of any toilet session – usually when I strain (gently) to get the last bits out.
12th July Thurs
Bright Blood on tissue in morning, blood on last stool.
Visited doctor who prescribed Metronidazole to control the bad bacteria after antibiotics, also advised to take live yogurt and that “I didn’t have cancer”. Sent away stool for stool culture test.
After taking tablets, diarrhoea slowed down a little
13th July Friday
Maroon Blood on tissue in morning, blood on last stool.
Went to toilet 4 times (ie after each meal)
Anxiety set in causing irritable bowels
14th July Saturday
Normal stools, no blood
Went to toilet 7 times (ie after each food intake)
Late night toilet was watery diarrhoea after eating rice pudding
Anxiety set in causing irritable bowels
15th July Sunday
Slightly bloody tissue and smlight blood last stool at 3am, but only after straining and not much came out
Went to toilet at 7.00am, normal slightly soft stools and no blood.
Went to toilet again at 7.05am (as there was some left and I hadn’t pushed) and soft round diarrhoea came out with the last of it showing a small sprinkle of maroon blood on the stool and tissue.
Severe anxiety set in causing irritable bowels and depression
Please can anyone help? My anxiety is killing me as much as any desease, I can't even look at my son as I fear I won't be with him much longer. I am being a drama queen?
