IBS Blood Test & Stool Test

Digestive health

Hi there

So about 3 weeks ago I had a blood test, the very next day I got a phone call saying that I was low on folic acid but everything else was fine with the tests and was told to collect some folic acid prescription done and dusted I dropped the stool sample off a couple of days later as I forgot to on the day of the bloodtest the same day I picked up the prescription, I heard nothing since handing it in 3 weeks ago and Im coming to the end of my folic acid (was advised to take for a month)

How ever today I got a call asking to come in and discuss my test results this upcoming Monday, Im wondering is this a bad sign? Surely they would of got back to me sooner if something was wrong and not wait 3 weeks? Also would this be to do with my stool and blood tests (maybe go more indepth with what the results were because I never really was told other than it was all good) or one or the other 

Also to note im in the process of getting diagnosed does this mean anything?

Thanks

Hi Twiglet5G, I think go see your doctor, your brain is probably going 10 to the dozen wondering what this is. You need to put your mind at ease! Good luck let us know how you get on, hopefully you will be ok.

Hey TwigletSG....don't worry and stay positive....unfortunately you will have to wait and i know it sucks....but if blood tests are normal then there is less likely you will have the serious issue....so stay strongbiggrin
