Blood after a poo (gross I know)

[ShaunaM]

My daughter (just 12 last week) had bright red blood after she wiped this evening. I tired to call the GP but it was near 5pm and they were not keen to see her. They just said call back on Monday.

I have been googling all night and found this website. I have put sudercream on to see him that helps i couldn't seen anything hanging out so i am guessing its not hemorides.

What a shock for you all. Sending love and support. I’m glad you took her to A and E x

She is recovering from surgery she had a lot of pain overnight but seems to be thankfully going in the right direction

Thanks for letting us know. I have been thinking of you all x

Good to hear, @ShaunaM! Do they know what caused the bleeding yet? X

They don’t know why it’s happened at the moment

How is your daughter doing @ShaunaM? I hope you have answers and she is now on the mend

She’s home and on the mend. They suspect she has Crohn’s or an ulcer. They have referred us to see someone at a London Children’s Hospital next week.

she’s doing well still slow but good thank you. All she wants to do is have a bubble Bath

really glad to hear your daughter is on the mend and thank you for keeping us updated 🥰

Bless her socks, glad she’s on the mend x

Oh bless her. Glad she's getting some help now.

Bless her. IBD isn't great, but with the right treatment she will be able to live a normal life. I have colitis, was diagnosed at 30 after being ill since I was a child.

Your daughter will be absolutely knackered for a while, so lots of rest will do wonders.

Hope your daughter is ok I'm glad they saw her quickly and didn't fob her off - my son had IBD and passed blood it's v scary to see - sending hugs x

I would like to second what remmy has said

My daughter was diagnosed with crohns age 12. Once treatment started 5 years ago she has had an amazing normal active life for theatre 5 years.

Wishing you and your daughter all the very best.

That should say for the last 5 years.
