Hi
I have had trouble with my stomach for years now. I have a ulcer in my stomach, and acid reflux disease. I am on losec to treat them.
But I have had other problems for many years now. I am just starting to realize it is not my stomach.
I have been suspected of having irritable bowel for at least 4 years, maybe more. I have anal fissues as well. My #2, it is never consistent. Either it is hard to go or I cant stop having runny err #2. I get such pain in my guts (which I thought was also my stomach, but now I know it is not the stomach). Then I go to the bathroom and after one or more stops on the john, I feel so much better. I am also limited to my eating, now I cannot eat certain meats or I get the dang pain in my guts. It was not like that before, before it was just acidic and spicy foods. Only safe meat to eat is fish.
I have had bleeding when I go #2 before, but it is really scaring me now cause the last 2 days, I go, I break out in a sweat trying to go and the toilet is full of blood. I even went this morning to go, I never went #2, but there was blood.
I just achhh, I do not want to touch my waste product, which I need to do. But I am just thinking, should I really really go for the test and is there anything less gross I can do rather than #2 in plastic and having to touch it, BLEGHH.
Plus I am so scared to do the test
