Abdominal pains are normal, and can be from IBS.
Blood can be from IBS, hemorrhoids, or just straining too hard. Bright red is from near the anus, dark red is from upper tract.
Losing weight? Possibly from going to the bathroom a lot? Eating habits changed? Often people with anxiety get so stressed they lose weight from not eating, etc.
Thin stools? Also can be from IBS.
People don't say to go to a doctor because they think u have something, they do it because it can help put your mind at rest.
