blood and mucous in excrement
by njp106, Nov 18, 2008 09:06AM
I am only 20 and have been having blood and mucous in my excrement for nearly 3years now, i am too embaressed to go to the doctor about it though. Alongside the blood and mucous when i go to the toilet it is pretty much always diarrhea, and i get really bad stomach cramps. Also sometimes it is just the blood and mucous that i pass when i go to the toilet. Does anyone have any idea whether this is just IBS or whether it could be anything else?
Any help would be greatly appreciated.

You really need to get this checked out; there is no need to be embarrassed. It could be several things but Ulcerative Colitis and Crohn's Disease are both distinct possibilities. A gastroenterologist can determine what it is, and can start you on something that will help. Both UC and CD are auto-immune diseases. UC is confined to the large intestine while CD can be anywhere in the digestive tract. I have UC and my quality of life has improved tremendously since I sought help, so I urge you to do the same; getting a good diagnosis is the most important thing you can do.
I would also suggest looking at the Specific Carbohydrate Diet (SCD). Go to http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Specific_Carbohydrate_Diet, read it, and take a look at the links at the bottom of the page. This diet has helped me.
Good luck!
