bloated/backache/ loose stools!

by Bigbaby, Aug 15, 2006 12:00AM
iv been getting bad back pains again along with bloated tummy. it feels very uncomfortable, looks like im 6months pregnant!
some mornings i have bad cramps then very loose stools. i dont look at my stools, i know i should, but i think there might be some blood there sometimes.iv had this for some years now on and off but the back pain is getting worse.dont know whether its due to something else or its just my back playing up as iv had trouble with it for years.some days its ok then others i feel tierd and generally unwell with all this, any suggestions!
thanks x

you should see a doctor could be irritable bowel syndrome or possibly colon cancer you have many of the symptoms for cancer but thet usually progress faster if it is off and on could be ibs there are meds to help treat the condition but really see your doc to be sure.  Good luck.

there can be several benign reasons for blood in the stool, it's just not something to take lightly.  better to take care of any issues before it becomes a bigger problem, whatever that problem may be!
