Hi all,
I went to see my GP last week. I had bad gastroenteritis on halloween and after that, my bowel was so stripped I didn't go til the following thursday (bug was a saturday). It went back to normal for a week but then I started experiencing urgency, where I would get cramps and have to rush. This happened every day so didn't think it could be down the the pregnancy constipation that I had had. The doc prescribed fybogel which I have been taking but when I was there he asked all sorts of questions and said 'as long as there isn't lots of mucus as that would warrant further investigation', It wasn't something I had ever looked for but lo and behold that day, stool was covered in clear mucus. That was last friday. Incidentally, he thought it was post-viral IBS.
Anyway, been taking the fybogel since monday, somedays a bit looser but the cramps stopped the same day I saw the GP too weirdly enough. Mostly I go everyday now and it seems back to normal but then last night it was a bit bulkier and covered in a yellowy mucus.
I am so so paranoid about pancreatic cancer anyway and this is just making me worse. I am going back to the GP on tuesday. I do have some sizeable haemorrhoids but I wouldn't know if they were internal or external. I can see them on the outside but I know you can with internal ones sometimes. I am just a mess. Has anyone any advice at all please?
