Well, when i saw the new IBD guy on the 18th april he sent a letter to my gp saying I'd lost 1 stone (i used to be 12 stone, the most I've ever weighed, around January) recently I weighed myself I was 10 st 13. So its been 3 weeks and I've perhaps lost a tiny bit more. I went to a GP who said...

Exactly. I've lost 1 stone in 2 months.

I haven't posted for a while as I havent had internet access. So as I said before, I had a colonoscopy, which they said showed ulcerations and mild colitis. IBD nurses said the bleeding may have occured from the ulcerations. My consultant decided, after seeing that I had a very high...

Sorry, been all over the place recently and havent replied. It was actually a call to arrange an earlier appointment with my specialist. otherwise i would have had to wait til july until the next one. saw him last week and he kept telling me he wasnt concerned at all and that i need to relax...

I honestly was feeling more positive the other day because i had some popcorn and have been getting spasms every since. so i thought ah maybe I have a narrowing and thats why he couldnt get into my small bowel and thats why im having the pain with the popcorn not being properly digested etc but...

immediately after? what, the same day? The thing is you can have pre cancerous cells or I could have the heridetary bowel cancer thing which doesnt show up as polyps. If it was about the MRI surely theyd just send me a letter with the appointment time. I forgot that i gave in a stool sample...

I'm kind of panicking now. I got a missed call from the hospital today saying can i call back. they didnt say it was urgent but surely that cant be good! But they found no polyps or anything and how can they have results when I just had it on saturday?

So in the past couple of weeks I've had some alarming symptoms that I've never had before, pretty much all the bowel cancer ones. The fact that I have a grandmother who died of that disease has been playing on my mind for a while. I was diagnosed almost 10 years ago with crohns (terminal ileum)...

I saw my gp on wednesday and thought I'd mention the jock itch thing. She had a look and said i had a cut on the crease so thought it might be that causing the bleeding on moday. I'm not trying to be difficult but I dont think its that. I then tried to phone my specialist again and he asked the...

I know this is probably a common thread but unfortunately I do have some genuinely alarming symptoms. a little bit about me: I'm 29, have had crohns (terminal ileum) for about 10 years, haven't had surgery and haven't had a colonoscopy since I was diagnosed. Am currently on azathioprine 50mg a...
