I'm really, really freakin gout. I've had to take some diazepam to take the edge off.
I've moved from stressing over my reproductive system to my digestive system! For the past 5 years I've had IBS and for the past 10 months excess acid with months between when I'm fine. I should also mention that a year ago I hd a sigmoidoscopy because of suspected rectal bleeding that turned out to have been period spotting due to thyroid issues. Thank heavens!
Anyway, what has me going postal this time is three or four (sorry to be gross) little black dots amongst the normal brown when wiping after doing a number two. The stools themselves look normal and brown (if a little loose with nerves).
I'm really hoping for folks to tell me that this is normal and everyone gets them too! I'm trying to convince myself that it's something to do with the normal digestive process. Please don't scare me or tell me to go to my GP. I plan to anyway, but I have to get through this weekend and the way I feel now I don't know if I can.:weep:
