Does this sound like UC?

 i've had some serious rectal bleeding whenever I go number 2 for the last like 2 and a half month. And I have this weird gurgling sound in my stomach pretty often and sometimes its in my rectum. It's like a fart on the inside. And its pretty loud so when I'm sitting in class other people can hear it. I get pretty bad stomach aches whenever I eat. I go to the bathroom between 10 and 15 times a day, sometimes more depending if I eat or not. Which I'm scared to eat now because I'm tired of going to the bathroom allllll the time. I don't know what's wrong with me but I feel like it's sucking the life out of me. I'm tired all the time and I can't go anywhere because I'll have to use the bathroom. I think some of it's due to anxiety too because I'm a very nervous person and if I get really nervous my stomach tenses up and starts to gurgle and then I have to go to the bathroom more often. Does this sound like UC? I'm going to the doctor in two days but I just want an idea.  

Yeah I'm going to get a colonoscopy or whatever it's called when you're under 18. They already did bloodwork when I went to the ER. For sure I'm not anemic, thyroid levels and everything are normal. They did a urine sample, that was normal. Took a stool sample, besides having some blood in it they didn't say anything about it really. But they referred me to a gastroenterologist (I think I spelled that wrong) and my appointment is in two days so hopefully I find out what's wrong and get started on some meds soon because track season is coming up and I can't do it if I'm in the bathroom all the time. Anyway thanks for all your input everyone.

Hi meowmix2,

Yes, it also sounds like it could be Ulcerative Colitis to me... But to be sure like Christine says, get to a GI and get some testing done... If it is they can get you going on some meds to try and get your symptoms under control.. good luck and I hope you feel better soon!

It's ironic that you wrote this post.  Two months ago I went to the ER because I was  having similar problems and couldn't control my bowels all the time, especially after I ate or drank some booze.  They gave me a colonoscopy and said I had mild inflamation and I was diagnosed with "nonspecific colitis".

Today I saw my GI and he wasn't convienced it was UC.  In fact he is leaning more toward IBS based on my symptoms.  He wants to try me on 1 teaspoon of metemucial,  tablet form probiotics as directed, and a drug called Bentyl.

Good luck
