Sorry if this post is TMI but I was doing so well with my anxiety...until yesterday.
The last couple of weeks, my bowel movements have been a bit up and down. Sometimes normal, sometimes I've had a bit of a belly ache with diarrhea. I've put this down to a LOT of recent stress and bad eating habits.
However, 2 days I noticed I needed to go a lot more than usual & do get pains in my stomach (all over in various places) and that night, after dinner it was very soft and I saw what looked like a bloody mucusy streak mixed in.
I also get black flecks/flakes but I think I have always had these as long as I can remember.
Yesterday I didnt "go" at all but again this morning, soft stools with the blacky bits.
Is this just a bad ibs flare up? Or should I be speaking to the Dr about cancer?
I'm only 32.
I will be giving it a few more days to see how I am but needed to vent/see if others have had the same.
