Is it normal for some people to have soft/sometimes liquid stools each morning? I don’t have any other symptoms, no stomach pain or bloating. I go at the same time every morning. Is this just normal for some? submitted by /u/Which-Week3085 [visit reddit] [comments ..read more

Hi all! Big TMI here. For the past two days, I’ve been passing a mixture of blood, diarrhea, and bloody diarrhea. It is extremely painful and my gut is very sore from going back and forth to the bathroom. For the most part the blood is lightly colored and looks like clots. I’ve made a doctor appointment with a PCP, but they are booked out until May 28th (about a month and a half out). Is there any advice, medication, etc. that could possibly help? I tried Kaopectate, and it seemed to briefly help. I know that if I go to urgent care, they might run bloodwork and refer me elsewhere, same with E ..read more

I created a reddit account just for this post LMAO. I got diagnosed with IBs at seventeen due to severe abdominal cramping (I'm currently 20F). At the time of my diagnosis, my doctor didn't want to do a colonoscopy or endoscopy, but he did check me for blood work, and it all came back negative. At 20, I am still having the same symptoms (abdominal cramping, diarrhoea, unable to control my bowel movements, you name it I have it). Recently I got a gastroenterologist and she did a calprotectin test to check for IBD, because I've also been having mild fevers and severe joint pain for the last 6 m ..read more

SYMPTOMS As stupid and laughable as it sounds (I know lmao)The uncontollable flatulance has meant ive spent the pst 2yrs locked up inside, uncomfortable to go on public transport, in to university (to the point i've failed 2yrs in a row),going out drinking with mates, or just be in any inclosed space, The flatulance smells of rotten cabbage it also lingers on my breathe, as you can imagine it is not pleasant being me or maybe even worst, being around me ?. The bloating is that apparent it looks like im pregnant or at least that im obese from the side, it petrudes quite a bit through my shirt ..read more

Hey hey. (25 F) I was born with Gastroschesis. Which short hand means that I was born with my intestines outside my body. Other than that, I’m a healthy, fun, lively woman. I DJ for my college and love to laugh. I’ve had, unfortunately so far, 4 bowel obstruction surgeries. I was told there is nothing I can do to control, halt, or help these obstructions. It sucks so bad but- I digress. I’m recently dating for the first time after 5 years. I feel the need to inform guys before our dates that I have an 11inch surgical scar on my tummy because- let’s be real- it’s unavoidable. I’ve been told by ..read more

I had an MRI today and one of the reasons is due to distention and pain behind and under my left ribs, into my chest and shoulder. I’m just trying to understand a little bit of what I am seeing on my imaging. It said normal spleen with splenule. I added several views, but I have little idea what I’m looking at. I have an endoscopy and colonoscopy next week. submitted by /u/theladylilac [visit reddit] [comments ..read more

I (38F) started experiencing this weird feeling, only when I sit, that I start to feel this "jelly" like feeling in arms and legs (legs mostly), my stomach also has this "butterfly" like feeling as well. If I stand up, it goes away eventually. This mostly happens in the morning, yesterday it happened in the evening after I had dinner and coffee. Anyone know? submitted by /u/Silver_Presence_1555 [visit reddit] [comments ..read more
