hi first time here.

I am currently undiagnosed I go for colonoscopy on Wednesday.

took one trip to doctor and with what I explained. with in 1min he said I had crohns. just have to wait.

Symptoms are major stomach pains when I go.
have noticed orange/yellowy puss when wipping and also white stringy clumps stuff In the toilet.
One other symptom I get is lower back aches and I mean aches after I guess ive had a flare up.

I have in the past noticed clumps of red in my stool but just thought it was undigested food and I don't get much black in the stool but do get tiny bits of black.

The other most annoying symptom I have is a itchy anus. gets to u when in public and all u want to do is itch and itch and itch.

my symptoms are not all the time. they may last 3-4 days and then clear up.
doc has put me a predisolne for 3 days which is helping.

this has happened before but didn't think much of it.
my last problem had me almost vomiting from the pain while passing both watery and formed stools.

Cheers Steve

Hi Steve ! :welcome:

No doctor thought best to get me into colonoscopy ASAP and thinks this is the best way to find out. So no other test yet.
