Help!-Dark Blood spots in stool

Postby Gail » Mon Nov 14, 2005 2:18 pm

Lately, I have been having dark blood spots in my stool. Very bloated (look very pregnant) after meals. Extreme intestinal pain as well.
Blood work is normal but going for a colonoscopy on 11/28. I had intestingal obstruction surgery 37 years ago when I was 9. Could it be adhesions from that surgery causing this problem? A general x-ray did not show an obstruction. Any ideas and help would be appreciated. My son has Chrones disease and my mother has had colitis (years ago).
Thanks

Gail,

It could be any one of a number of things, but the fact is that you need a colonoscopy and you need one soon. Is there any chance of you getting in there sooner?

When my cancer was found (and I'm not saying that's what you've got going on) my doc was surprised that my intestine hadn't ruptured. Please don't let it get to that point.

Gail,

Seek medical intervention and demand a colonoscopy from your physician.

Know that you are in my thoughts and prayers!
