Hi all!
I have been stalking this forum and reading posts for over a week now. I have found it to be very informative with some good humour.
As my title states, I am yet to be diagnosed.
Over the last 5 or so years I have developed an intollerance to lactose, caffeine, orange juice and sometimes chicken and eggs. :angry-banghead:
Early January I was hospitalised with Pancreatitis- I had blood tests, ultrasounds and a CT scan which revealed everything was fine except an inflamed pancreas which could not be explained.
After coming home, I noticed a small amount of blood in my stool and on the paper. I just though I had strained too hard, so ignored it.
Within a week or two I was having to run to the toilet, my bowel motions were so urgent. This lead to having Diarrhea and mucous with ALOT of blood.
I had a few week wait to see a colorectal surgeon who has booked me in for next Tuesday for a colonoscopy.
My mucous and blood isn't as bad now, but seem to be actually constipated. From one extreme to the other.
My surgeon expects to find an inflammatory condition of some kind.
I have searched online and pancreatitis can be in rare cases a presentation of ulcerative colitis.
I'm nervous having to be put under for the procedure as well as the outcome. I am very nervous about the possibility of having to always know where the next toilet is and if ill make it in time.
Anyhow, this is my story. I'm sure a lot of you have been through this and a lot worse. Thanks for listening!
