Blood in poo again!

[MummaPI]

Hi
Have posted here a few times over the years about my 8 year old daughter.
Since she was 3 she has had episodes of blood in her poo. She's had samples sent off and all ok. She doesnt have it often and mostly when it's a big one. We've tried movocol intermittently. Today it's happened again. She said it was hard to get out.
Is it ok to think this is her 'norm?' If it was something serious wouldn't we know by now as its been happening sporadically for 5 years?
I'm a worrier so trying to reason with myself 🙄

Hi I do think you need to see a GP not stress yourself out on this thread. Sorry I thought you just wanted to know about movicol etc
Best wishes

Try eating more fruit in particular pineapple.

My 6 year old suffers from this too but her bowel movements arent hard. Shes had scans and cameras etc but nothing ever found. I have quite a sluggish bowel myself although never any blood. I’ve just cone to accept its one of those things. Shes well and gaining weight so nothing much else to be done sadly

And please do not make an appointment without taking your daughter. That is just a complete waste of a GP’s time. They will want to examine her most likely and you could easily explain the problem without scaring her.

Another one here who would regularly go maybe 1 time a week... I was always like that and parents thought there was something wrong with me but I just didn't need to go... always found though that trying to force myself to go every day or every other day made things worse.

Since giving birth I've been way more frequent, as though I got a kick start again. But I've found that eating more fruit and veg has heloed, as has more liquids. I try to eat at least 2 bananas a day and then I'll also have Apple or a ton of veg with dinner. Apple/orange juice also helps me.

I mean all that in the nicest possible way. I do sympathise. Many times I've gone from eg eczema behind the ears to rubella even though we've had both vaccinations in three clicks on a search engine.

Talk to your doctor & explain your worry and why in terms of family and how much it's a worry. They will understand and tell you whether they think it's constipation or something else.

But I would book 2 appointments with the same GP on different days & make the first appointment in your name & go without DD and explain all that so she doesn't have to hear it and get worried and you can ask about anxiety if you want and you can always take her for the second appointment for an examination if your doctor says she needs to see her or cancel it if not.

If you go with DD you won't be able to talk about the anxiety or family history and you'll come away feeling like they've only heard half the background which isa bit like this thread and then you'll still be worried.

If they have a DH or someone who can sit with her in the waiting room they can bring her in if needed. But a GP might prefer two short booked appointments to one that overruns. Having seen a paediatrician ourselves I don't think you can ask all the questions you really want to in front of DC

Crikey ok...let me clarify.
We have movicol because they have suggested constipation but they haven't done any tests other than poo samples. I simply came on here to gather advice from anyone who has been through it. This is NOT about my HA. I appreciate all advice given.
We are in contact with the GP too but Mumsnet has always been a place for 'guidance' for lots of people.
A lot of posts on here are most likely by people who worry, isn't that the point? Anyway, I never meant to confuse anyone and would still love any advice about my daughter's issues

Am so sorry I didn't mean to rant. I'm new to MN...

Just overtired last night but all I meant to say was if what you're really worried about is polyps you should ask your GP that straight out and explain why the question & if they don't think it's that they can explain why and hopefully end of stress.

Will shut up now sorry

tabby please don't apologise, it's been lovely hearing from you. Sadly some messages get misunderstood on here. I really appreciate you taking time to answer. Hope to chat more in the future!
