I’ve written a couple of posts about my stool and digestion lately but I’m unsure what to do next.
•Bloated even without eating or drinking.
•Middle stomach pain above belly button when pressing or sucking in deep.
•tiny bits of blood in stool which used to sometimes happen around time of too little or too much fibre but now almost looks within the stool itself.
•sometimes mucus in stool which today part of the mucus was actually pink and had a tiny bit of blood with it.
I know I have some form of gut imbalance or parasite issue due my not so great digestion and eating habits over the last couple of years. If I was to have granulated sugar added to something or a gelatine candy (haribo) or even aspirin the next day my stool would have a lot of mucus. Which makes me think some type of bacteria or fungal issue, I’ve been dealing with what I thought was chest pain for months but is more lower left rib/spleen area and at times something like too much potato will give me lower right appendix area pain or days after.
I’m just unsure if this would all be related to some gut imbalance or parasite or even an a ulcer with the empty stomach pain (which isn’t unbearable and only happen if I press deep or suck in) or if this is something more serious and cancer related and if I ignore it could get worse. The only next steps from dr would be colonoscopy which I really don’t want to do especially given the research provided from this forum about them and my current state of gut health I wouldn’t want to make things worse.
Anyone have any idea or anything come to mind with all these symptoms combined?
