My 4 yo DS has been having episodes of blood in his stools since March this year. He's otherwise extremely well, happy, bouncy, full of energy, growing well (+3cm and 500g in a month...) no stomach aches, diarrhoea or anything else. He has an anal fissure which the GP thought might be causing his symptoms, and he's on movicol 1 sachet a day to try and soften his poo - he tends to have massive, solid poos about twice a day. The blood can be super dramatic over the course of a few days and then goes away again for 2-3 weeks plus. No change in his mood/energy/other symptoms when it happens either.
Even on the movicol he's still having mostly solid poos. His blood tests came back normal so we did the calprotectin as a "belt and braces" style thing to rule out anything else... But lo and behold it has come back so extremely high. We had to get it done privately as the CCG in our area don't cover it for kids.
I'm so worried now - what on earth could it be? Presumably some kind of crohn's/colitis (but again, no other symptoms at all, not even loose poos/tummy aches...).
Anyone had this and can shed any light?? I'm (not so quietly) panicking. Back to the GP first thing tomorrow to try and get a referral to paediatrics again, the first time they fobbed us off with the movicol...perhaps we will finally get an NHS appointment this way!
