SB – I don’t know what you mean by “blood in your stools”? Are you talking about blood when you wipe or actually in your stool?
This is by far the most worrisome symptom. Since I can’t actually examine you, I can’t figure out what’s going on. Anyways, since there is a possibility of a serious diagnosis, because of the possibility of “blood in the stools”, I recommend you see a Gastro Doctor ASAP for a colonoscopy AND a endoscopy. They have to look at the almost the whole digestive system for a diagnosis. So if you’re Not going to a Stomach Doctor tomorrow -you better. If you’re going to a regular Doc, cancel your appt. and go to a Gastro. Anyways the other symptoms sound like IBS, which is treated by a Gastro and a psycholgist and a psychiatrist. Anyways, I feel it would be beneficial for you to see a psychologist for therapy (once or twice a week) and a psychiatrist for anti-anxiety medications, because you have a lot of stress, even if you don’t have IBS. Anyways, either way you have to see a Gastro because IBS is a diagnosis of exclusion.
