Runny stool, some blood, and stomach ache/pain

My boyfriend is 23 years old and 6' 4" and around 190-200 pounds and he has beeing having runny stool for about a month now. He says the blood in the stool isnt much at all, but that still worrys me.He has has stool test that came back normal, blood test that came back normal. He doctor doesnt seem to know. His doctor gave me a couple different medicines that really hasnt helped. Should he go to a different one?

Does anyone have any suggestions? Please help us out, please!
 
I'd go back to the first doctor and tell him the meds aren't working - if he seems stumped ask for a referral to a different doc or specialist.

A small amount of bright red blood can be from something simple like irritation from the diarrhea.
 
i have the same problems and uninsured and the great state of michigan has a freeze on their medical help ! i have not got to see a dr about this but i have become unable to leave the safety of a bathroom witch has caused my severe depression to come back including the big panic attacks! i use to take 2mg xanax 3x daily and learned to stop taking that after some time ! but now that they are back i cant remember what it was that made me not have the panic attacks..... im so lost i have become suicidal and have cut my wrists on two different occasions mot recently new years day and i got ten stitche out of the deal and was recomended to go to the local place for help and they had no answers accept to come back on thursday..... im scared im not gonna make it till then !? i need mental help
 
Jokermistique . . . please call your nearest Crisis Counseling Center as soon as possible. The "local place" you went for help should not have let you just go like that and told you to come back.

There is real help out there for people regardless of insurance and they should be able to get you to it.

Please keep us advised on how you are doing.

This can be a serious problem not to scare you but he should have a full colonoctopy to rule out any cancer or polyps....he may have an ulcer also..or it just may be an irritation to his digestive system an infection or sorts....but to be certain i think he should have those tests.
 
well the thing is ! im not that smart when it comes to help and i dont know where to go i have done everything i know to do and the state is telling me to do but i am so depressed now that i have not ate or really slept since i wrote the origional message and i accidentelly found this place where someone has actually said something to me thank you for at least that ! i didnt know how to put my question in the right spot so im glad someone found it here........
im trying my best to hold onto reality but i feel it slipping away i dont know how i let myself get to this point again? but here i sit feeling helpless
 
Hello, again, Jokermistique . . . do you have anyone that you could get to come over and stay with you? Someone like a friend or relative that will understand how fragile you are feeling and help you out by talking or even locating someone who could help you?

I am sure the State would cooperate with a person making contact from a Crisis Counseling center. Check your telephone book to see if you can find someone to call and talk to. The listings for the ones in our area are in the yellow pages under "Crisis Intervention Services", so yours would most likely be listed that way, too.

I will keep checking back. Hang in there and let me know what you can find out.

*Hugs*

Lindaru :)
