Blood in stool and abdominal pain Posted: 12-21-07 20:56pm
I'm a 16 year old boy with abdominal pains
all over. they are sometimes sharp,
sometimes dull and achey. I am sometimes a
little gassy and have noticed change in my
stools, hard and regular, to soft, and
smaller. I have been having some headaches
and back pains associated with ab pain. I
was taken to the doctor because i had
blood in my stool, and i did have nausea.
This is a week after i went to a local
water park, August. They made me do a
hidden occult blood in stool test,
whatever its called, and a stool culture.
I put the red part on both tests. They
turned out to be negative. Just today I
passed some stool and i saw only a drop of
blood (the blood isn't liquidy, its solid
and mixed in with the stool). I was
wondering if this is something bad, or if
i am just making something out of nothing.
HELP! Please. I have NO history of cancer
in my family, just heart related problems.
Thank you for your time

Did all your symptoms start in august and
continue to be present constantly up to
today?
Do you have alternating stool pattern
(constipation replaced with diarrhea and
vice versa)?

No, it actually stopped
for a month or two, I didn't see any
blood. My doctor gave me fiber pills,
saying it could be something stuck in one
side of my colon (he did this weird test
where he tapped my stomach, one side was
solid, the other hollow) and he said it
was painful because I had trapped gas on
the paining side and so I took fiber. I
stopped taking it, and for a while i was
good. Then it started again a couple days
back. And no, I have diarreha about once a
month( I eat A LOT of food xD) i've been
regular this whole month.

Hi, Luisg! Posted: 01-14-08 02:55am
How do you feel?
Are you free of abdominal pains now?
Did you bowel movements get normal?

Nope i rarely ever get
abdominal pains now, and i just had
diarrhea, but it was half diarrhea and
half regular. I do eat many fatty foods
and greasy foods and dont excercise much.
But other than that i feel fine. No
redness either just pink when wiping, i do
eat a lot of hot cheetos and red stuff so
i think that might be it since the doctor
made the stool culture and occult blood
sample WITH the red parts on each of the
samples.

Unless you undergo a colonoscopy you can't
rule out a serious disease such as cancer.
Any amount of blood in stool requires
investigation by a professional.
