I started having abnormal symptoms and changes to my bowel movements about a year and a half ago. My doctor told me that my iron was very low. I started have 3 large mushy/shiny bowel movements everyday before lunch without even eating, If I was stressed out I would have up to 5 bowel movements in one day. After 10 months of these (plus gas
with small globs of bright red blood and mucus it seems like maybe a small amount of watery stool mixed together? Some pieces would be about the size of a pencil eraser and some pieces a couple inches. It seems to denigrate when flushed. This happens when I first wake up as well as throughout the day. My "normal" bowel movement is once/twice a day, soft and light brown and not really formed (as a banana ect
, 34 years old, no kids. I stay in shape and exercise, lots of water and fiber. It has been confirmed by 2 doctors that I do not have hemorrhoids. Little to no weight loss. I had a barium
, sigmoidoscopy, and colonoscopy, all which came back normal. I also had a small bowel contrast study which took hours longer than others taking the same exam and I had to drink the barium again. The doctor stated there was mild inflammation of the terminal ileum. This was done before the colonoscopy. No family history of IBD/cancer/ect.. Sometimes it feels like there is rumbling in my rectum? I don't have any pain but I do have gas and discomfort in my abdomen. Its not always in the same spot. I feel as though I have had all the tests done and they haven't found anything. Should I still be concerned? I really appreciate your advice. Thank you so much.
