Hi, thanks for replying . What was the colonoscopy like? Did they tell you starlight away ?
I’m due to have ct scan on chest and abdo aswell . Mine started a few months back. It’s a long one ..
I started gym in June I’m very petite but was healthy size I just wanted to tone up but had a PT who put me on deficit diet , working out 4 times a week plus looking after dogs, kids etc husband away a lot of the time and ended up loosing shit loads of weight in 4 weeks way to fast .
Was also on a vegan diet but previously to that I had noticed I started to get a lot of diarrhoea but also noticed when I had dried milk products ( whey ) I’d have it bad .
I then had a car accident and was so anxious I didn’t eat and when I did it was hardly anything , anxiety and worrying lost more weight .. then I’m not sure if it was caused by an egg or not but I had diarrhoea bad again , my daughter had also had it for a day so I wasn’t too worried although I felt really off.
My cycles had played up too . I took Imodium dissolvable twice then the next day out of the blue just randomly bought up some blood .. went into complete anxiety over load not eating for 3 days ..
Chest X-ray blood test all normal I’ve had pain in under my left rib to the side too and what seems like horrendous heartburn .
I had also had a cough prior to all this that was worse when I laid down .
Sertraline gave me bad reactions and more diarrhoea so changed . Still loosing weight despite eating so dr gave me an antacid as thought producing too much stomach acid .
I also did a stool sample and it had blood in , it came back within normal range despite that but with slight inflammation.
Sent off another one . Had really bad diarrhoea again and sent off for enzymes and parasites check - still waiting .
Stopped taking antacid as was reading it can cause stomach issues and since then 2 weeks I’ve been ok no upset stomach more other way , still with the pain .
Went back to dr lost more weight .. worrying so she referred ASAP for the investigations.
Googled and convinced mysejf I have the c word , repeated bloods all normal although wbc slightly raised but I had had a cold from kids .
My stools were also yellow although seem to have got back to normal for now , when I told gp she said infections can cause that colour though nothing in blood test .
Consultant felt tummy asked if this and that hurt - didn’t but now I’m worrying thinking it should have bla bla . I’m just full of anxiety at the moment constantly examining my stools and my weight loss is a massive issue . Been referred for cbt they won’t touch me until I have all the medical tests which worries and reaffirms things in my head .
What’s your next step?
