Rectal bleeding is not a sign from IBS, but my son lost ALOT of blood
rectally 3 years ago, and his colonoscopy, showed his colon was 95%
ulcerated the. He was diagnoesed with IBD, and right now his pathology
has pointed to both UC and crohns, so they cannot tell right now.
My son lost ALOT of blood, bt I know IBS there IS no blood.
He is the oe who has to take Asacol the rest of his life.
He is 23 now, I am fearing any surgery right now, b/c the stress has me
smoking TOO much again, after stopping for 2 months, I am extremely
afraid of mre surgey, but as time goes on, and he push for Christmas, I
have been in ALOT of pain and tears lately. By the time my husband gets
home the make up is a mess, I am tired of crying daily now!
Love you all!
