(Warning stool pic below)
Hi all,
I'm in my twenties and except for autism and severe anxiety I am reasonably healthy. I think so anyway. My diet is less positive, consists of mostly bread and sweets which does seem to trigger my IBS. As does the anxiety. What maybe isn't helping is that I only drink coca cola and have only drank this for the last 3ish years and I'm worried it and my anxiety are causing my body harm.
I get a lot of mucus when I have a bowel movement, I'm also very constipated sometimes and when I do finally go there will normally be blood (bright red), mucus and of late it has been lighter, either more pale or clay coloured. I mostly feel OK though I do get stomach ache sometimes and often firm stomach, but I've always put this down to IBS and anxiety.
But now I'm feeling it might be something more. My first thought is cancer, most likely my anxiety talking though as I am quite young still and otherwise reasonably healthy. But I am worried I might be dying from this!
I've got a pic below and if you've had this or know knowledge of what's causing it please do reply as it will be a big help and put my mind at ease.
I will see a doctor if it's really necessary but I get absolutely nightmarish anxiety and would probably pass out before I even get to the doctors!
Sorry for the graphic pic but I really could do with some input here. Thanks in advance.
Your first thought should be to change your diet and do minimally invasive tests. Don't fixate on tumors because it's wrong. You will see that you will improve in six months. But talk to the doctor and explain your problems to him. You may also have an underlying gastric problem. The mucus is positive. Do not be afraid. Indicative blood: However bright red and with dryness there, it is easy to derive from the final part of the colon, it is nothing immediately attributable to a tumor, but must first be investigated by doctors. Is the photo a fecal mass? But the blood is superior means that you have tried right? Sorry question. Bring photos to the doctor, don't draw conclusions because you'll see it will be treatable. I hadn't seen the picture right away. Without the premise I would have written to you that you are perhaps right. But usually in that photo you come slowly didn't you notice before stool streaks of blood? That would seem too fast to me. Go to the doctor calmly: it's the best thing to do as soon as possible. Absolutely: eliminate cola and sweetened and unsweetened carbonated drinks. Bread and sweets eaten often are not good for you. They advised you well. Go to the doctor: without fear. You are stronger. Don't wait at all. The mucus is protecting you. Drink mineral water. As little sugar as possible. Let us know . Go to the doctor with your head held high and without fear. Anything that says don't be afraid, write it here. I have the same discomforts as you, from the controls it doesn't show a tumor at all. If that can reassure you. Fizzy drinks you can remove them; I understand that it is not easy, just avoid them.
(Excuse : this is te first message )
HI. I am writing to you as an Italian. Minimize bread and sweets. The true Mediterranean diet consists of something else. Avoid dry foods, and evaluate what blood type you have and some of them you can avoid. Some not quite; I had a passion for medicine so I know that totally excluding a food is counterproductive. So you just do one thing: reduce portions to a minimum, for now. IBS: Exact same problem I also have severe colic. But with the food here, which is based on three thousand different foods, I can't decide. I avoid vegetables because I'm worse. Severe Anxiety There Are Solutions. Because it is always medically disabling. It should be reduced to a minimum and can be used very well. If you have made a choice on precision medicine in Great Britain (a fundamental nation for scientific research), you can immediately find suitable drugs. A blood test with specific markers is enough. For example, C-reactive protein. Anxiety therefore you obviously feel a specialist in psychiatry. Based on your choices, you will have an SSRI prescribed either together or alone with an anxiolytic **** With a long plasma half-life however * I take one called clonazepam, a non-commercial name so I don't advertise it. But there are drugs that if they work for you, you take at least 9, guidelines also vary for years. In short: your anxiety will disappear you will see, don't worry. <> You can use precautions so before going to the bathroom to evacuate try to make a warm warm bidet. In any case, try to take extra virgin olive oil, we only have it in Italy, the others are poor quality oils, they were called lampante oils because they were used to light up the streets in street lamps (I think I described this with this!). Drink at least liters of low-sodium water. Take a glass every hour, not all at once. Use French or Italian water. They are the best in Europe. Look at the writing that must be there: oligo mineral. You will see that they are good advice: eat fruit! Avoid taking too many starchy foods in your stomach they are like glue (which is a striking example). A French diet is fine too. They eat very well. Entrèè: but you chop the salad into very small pieces otherwise it gets tangled in digestion. The blood according to easy intuition you have fissures. If you change your diet you will see that they heal on their own. Rectum colon X-ray I suggest and eame of feces (it's not really nice eh! But better to do it! :) ) Bright red is a potential indicator of something wrong. Even simple fissures or hemorrhoids are highly curable.
Errata corrige Doctors manage severe anxiety with medications, and guidelines range from 9 months to 2 years. The doctor always decides, we only give opinions from friendly people
You are right.
Now I'm answering in another format.
But the post does not come as I would like.
Thanks, if I can't I'll step aside.
I also saw this formatting so wrong.
It's not of my will.
I try to copy it differently.
Let me know right away if it bothers you and I'll stop posting.
The first thing for me is respect.Then I really care that my posts are not disturbing for you.
Yes, thanks again if anything! You have been clear, I just have to do a lot of mental passages. Image word Image word (I think exclusively for images then I translate a lot of times) English Italian Italian English: Formatting that does not accept me as I would like. A thousand thanks The notation is important thanks I can't, sorry
the post does not come as I would like. Thanks, if I can't I'll step aside.
the post does not come as I would like.
If it does not work for you then please go back to the way you were doing it - we value the contribution more than the format.
Our request was an aesthetic one only to make it easier for us and I would prefer to have you continue to contrubte if you are willing.
Thank you for trying
I write one way and see a different one appear. Clearly I'm wrong.
It is not that you are wrong - we just suggested an improvement to allow more of us to appreciate the good work you contribute more easily.
Thank you for agreeing to do this. I appreciate it.
Excuse me instead. But I don't regulate myself in this forum. The layout is very different. You wrote the right thing. I write one way and see a different one appear. Clearly I'm wrong. *It's not O.T. if a post is functional to pointing out these things, I thank you instead. Huge pain: Accept my apologies, that's not my intention.
I ageree, the scrolling breaks up the flow of reading and the ADHD part of me loses the thread of text quickly when it is like this.
The content is great though, so please consider something like pasting it into a text editor (Notepad on a PC for example) then copy/paste again to remove the formatting.
