i have seen 2 drs and been to the emergency room once re this problem
by jeb1, Dec 26, 2002 12:00AM
i went to the dr. about 3 yrs. ago because i was having really bad stomach cramps and diarreah--the first dr. told me i had an ulcer and gave me medicine.it didn't help any so i went to another dr. --he didn't run any tests either --just talked to me and said i had a spastic colon--he gave me some medicine--that didn't work either. shortly therafter, i ended up going to the emergency room with severe abdominal cramping. They didn't do too much of anything either, they told me i was dehydrated and they gave me salt water w/ an i.v. and then told me i had irritable bowel syndrome, told me to take metamucil! i've been dealing w/ IBS and its just getting worse, i have been having severe cramping and diarreah just about every time after i eat anything. The thing i am really worried about now is that there may be soemthing else wrong--i recently had severe cramps and tried to go to the bathroom, i had diarreah and with that there was mucous and blood (about 2 to 3 tablespoons, more blood than mucous)This is the first time this has happened---Should i be worried about the blood or is it not a big deal??? ive been reading up on some things and want to know could i have colitis, it does run in my family. (my grandma had it) Or could it be something even worse, like cancer???? Please help---what should i do???? i would greatly appreciate any advice!!!
thanks,
