Question 1

can colonoscopy prep cause mild inflammation and redness in small intestine? i sometimes have loose stools with no other symptoms. worried it's crohns

Accepted Answer

Inflammation : Bowel prep does not usually cause that , however it is possible.Crohns would cause you more severe symptoms and if it's was   the prep I would think that the inflammation would disappear after completing the procedure. Good Luck

Question 2

when i go #2 it's usually diarrhea. it started when i got anxiety/panic attacks. today i went and i saw some little red things floating? help?

Accepted Answer

GI: You don't mention exactly how long you've been having diarrhea like this, but if it's been awhile I would strongly recommend you get a referral from your primary doctor to see a gastroenterologist and consider getting a colonoscopy to make sure everything is ok in your intestines. I am concerned there is blood in your stool and the frequency of diarrhea is not normal. Want to rule out more serious

Question 3

braking out with some small some huge red bumps that itch real bad.nausea,diarrhea,,no sleep,restless?

Accepted Answer

Get care immediately: Sounds like urticaria (hives). In addition to the itching and other discomforts (which can be treated), urticaria can be an early sign of a dangerous allergic reaction. If this is a new problem without known cause, call your doctor's office immediately; if not available, visit the nearest urgent care clinic or emergency department. Don't mess around with this!

Question 4

16weeks pregnant had stomach bug w 5 days of diarrhea 1st bm had a little mucus on tissue 2nd bm was hard and painfiul with a tinynamt of pink not red on tissue is that normal after a stomach bug ?

Accepted Answer

Blood in stool: This could be irritation from a hard stool and wiping.  Hemorrhoids can be manifest during pregnancy.  If you see no more blood things should be ok, but if it occurs again go see your OB doctor and get examined.

Question 5

Question 9

too many nuts cause loose stools, and red color? little chunks of red? i don't think it's blood, since it doesn't seem to be a liquid. suggestions??

Accepted Answer

Red in stool: If you recently ate a red-appearing material, then you may have rapid intestinal transit resulting in the food's inadequate digestion.  However, be concerned since blood clots may also appear as red blobs.  Bleeding in such a case can be without warning, brisk, &amp; originate anywhere in the gut (from esophagus, stomach, to rectum. Don't hesitate to seek confirmation &amp; care.

Question 10

Accepted Answer

Having : Having mucousy and possibly bloody stool is concerning for a type of infectious diarrhea.  It may be viral, but you should be checked for bacterial diarrhea.  Please see your doctor.  If your doctor can't see you right away, or if you have pain, vomiting, fever, or worsening diarrhea then you will need to go to the er.
