Thank you so much for replying and sharing your story. I’m sorry about your diagnosis. I’m really hoping it’ll be a lifelong condition that I can easily treat at least

Tysm, will keep in touch

Thank you, I won’t be writing it off. I’m gonna ask to push my scope

Thank you my friend, it’s good to hear some people have had the same stresses in life. How are you doing now with Crohn’s? Isn’t that a dangerous condition as well?

Also happy cake day

I haven’t black stool or pepto bismol ever. Just black specks in stool and on toilet paper.

Isn’t pepto bismol supposed to be good for the stomach??

Yeah you’re definitely right

My diet was definitely not good. Dirty bulking while gymming, a LOT of protein and no fibre, fruit or veggies. My stress levels have risen and emotions have plummeted due to health anxiety so now I’m wondering if this is all connected

Thank you, I definitely want to step away from Google and the forums after this post. My gastro issues started as a constant pain and has kinda just turned into a lesser, but noticeable issue. Some days I’ll feel fine in my stomach but every day, my bowel movements will be the same concerning movements that make get me down in the dumps

In Australia I think it’s 1500 to 2000. It’s only a couple weeks of pay so not too bad I guess

That’s fucked

And yeah I don’t know why the original doc was so laid back about my persistent bleeding. This new GP I saw said to me “you had a week’s worth of bleeding…and they didn’t get you checked out immediately??”

My great grandpa supposedly had it but as my nan was explaining his symptoms, it sounded more like esophagul cancer, considering he smoked at a very young age back then up until his late fourties’

Thank you so much. My fingers are also crossed. I’m hoping next year will be better

I appreciate you and your reassurance. This whole thing is just getting to me now. I’ve developed health anxiety ever since I caught Covid as an unvaccinated citizen near the start of this year so maybe those two correlate?
