I have convinced myself I have got something seriously wrong with me. Possibly TMI but come and reassure me

and I am going to GP in morning.
Last night aobut midnight I felt an awful severe pain in my lower abdomen (just above my pubic bone. I felt like I needed the loo, but didn't. However had lots of Blush loose ones. Then at 6am got woken again by the pain and had a mix of firm and very soft stools. No sooner had I finished than the pain built up again and off to the loo again I'd go. This went on till at least 10am. Then it eased, but on and off all day I've back the pain back, not as severe as this morning, but I am still getting the need to go to the loo. However, there's a lot of noise [blush} (sorry) and just a few drops of stool mixed with blood, quite alight brown blood, but definately blood. The pain has eased a bit now, and is nowehre near as frequent as it was this morning.
This is the first time I've ever had anything like this, although have in the past had odd flare up of something similar, almost like IBS, but it's never gone as long as this, and always seem to go once my bowel has been cleared TMI again, sorry
Is it an nfection (fingers crossed) IBS (again) or something far more serious! I won't sleep now tonight.

You haven't eaten too many sugar-free sweets have you? I had awful cramping, runs etc after doing that (never repeated!). The blood doesn't sound like this though (unless they were red sweets).
Hope your GP can help more than me.

Going to the GP is the best thing you can do. Well done you for being prompt with an appt.

Stay away from google.

Hope all turns out OK.

No , although I am wondering if it's anything to do with naproxen, although I only take it once a day and with food (as is recommended)
or I've had really bad acid reflux and indegestion this week, but haven't had any tummy pains at all for ages and ages
