Is it all in my head?

[milly85]

I am very overweight. And lately I have been bleeding down there more frequently than usual and I guess that's due to the spicy food. I get mucus and blood. And the sight of food makes me feel sick even though I don't vomit. My stomach gives me signs that I'm hungry (rumbling sound) but I can't stand foood. What the hell is wrong with me? Am I becoming anorexic? Do I have an eating disorder?

I went to my GP who said that I've been to her about this issue before but nothing came of the sigmonoidoscopy and I need further tests to rule out IBD now.

Are you getting referred to a GI specialist for further testing.

Yup seeing a consultant about it soon.

First, it's not all in your head. Mucus and blood can be from a few different things. It may not be IBD, but it is real. I hope the consultant you see will be able to give you some relief. In the meantime, welcome to the forum!

It's definitely not in your head. Your head doesn't make you bleed. The next logical step is to see the GI consultant. A sig doesn't reach very far so it's not that conclusive of a test.

Please keep us updated as to what they find and how you're doing.
