hi,
i am going through absolute torture! i always have this feeling where i need to poop . i go diahrrea because i feel like im not absorbing any foods. the color of my poop is sometimes like yellow which usually means my small intestine is like infected. i believe there was also fat and a little blood. getting a stool test on monday but im terrified! im eating and loosing weight and its so scary. i had a colonoscopy 1 year ago and im only 21. i got diagnosed with IBS and they said when im stressed my small intestine acts up. im scared that this will last forever. i think about pooping and i go… this is so scary… also im eating normally but forcing myself too because i have no appetite.. i have acid reflux as well so its exasperated by my stress… this point i dont know what to do… my stomach is just in knots and feels like im never going to get better…
i had all these symptoms you talk about fir about 5 months. i had an endoscopy where they took a biopsy and found i had an infection of h.pylori. Because it was undetected for so long it had caused severe gastritis and eaten my stomach lining. Ask to be tested for this, by both blood and stool sample. Its easily treated with antibiotics and acid blockers.
Honestly i’ve never felt so ill and all the symptoms you’re suffering with add up to this. I hope you feel better soon
Yellow stools can mean that they are passing through your colon too quickly. This is common with IBS. Try to stay as calm as possible because stress aggravates IBS. Look into relaxation therapy and try distraction techniques such as light excercise such as walking or take up a hobby.
