pain pain go away

I am 24 and back in 2010, I had a colonoscopy done and everyone kept thinking I had IBS. The doctor said I had severe lesions throughout my colon. For a year, my pains have been on and off. Using the restroom was hard, especially in public places. I was and still am embarassed.

For the past two to four weeks, my pains have been emerging back. I sometimes double over when I am in pain. My stool has been narrow most of the time, and when it isn't narrow...it is a light brown with a red coloring lined with a white mucus. After I wipe, I still secrete this mucus and sometimes I have blood.

I have tried to call my old gastro doctor from before yesterday, but what can be the cause of this? The thing is I only "poop" every few days. I started having more problems with my bowels when my gallbladder was taken out with a severe case of gall stones. The doctors told me I was lucky because they had never seen so many stones in a gallbladder.

If you had severe lesions throughout your colon in 2010, what did the DR do to treat that? That sounds like inflammatory bowel disease (IBD), not IBS (which stands for irritable bowel syndrome). IBD is managed through medication and sometimes diet, and without a DR's care you are not going to get better.

Skinny or narrow stool indicates inflammation in or near the rectum. The red is blood. The mucous is typical of IBD. Go back to your DR and get treatment. You should post in the Crohn's or in the UC forum here for more specific BTDT advice.

He lasered them, and I had to have a lot of fiber, plus a baby food diet for two months. He had me taking tylenol 4 as needed. Now the medicine just doesn't really help.
