Update...... on my bowel problem

princessjdc · Apr 21, 2008

Okay, well, I didnt do anything Saturday but wait and see and throughout the day, it was liquid black with red of course and my last bowel movement was 6 or 7 something in the evening and I didnt have a bowel movement at all Sunday and Monday I finally had one, it was firm this time but still black with red in it, kind of like when you see corn, okay so I called the docs today and they said pretty much to keep a close eye on it and if it gets worse or doesnt get better then I need to call them back. I also told them that I stopped the ibroprofin, thinking thats what caused it and that I reduced the amount of enzymes I take, they said to continue to take the enzymes as prescribed and to start the ibroprofin back up once everything is cleared and better and if the problem starts back up after starting ibroprofin then to call them back. I think Im better but hopefully the next few bowels I have start to be more normal and not so dark.

So I guess waiting and seeing was the way for me to go, dont get me wrong though my husband and I did talk about whether or not to go to the ER and we figured since there was no pain involved that I could just wait it out until Monday, and plus I kept a very close eye on the situation and believe me if it got worse and more blood came out of me either end, then yes I would of done something but since it didnt and eventually the stools stopped then, I figured Id be okay and could wait until Monday.

Thank you guys for the replys and suggestions, I took it to heart and your replys hepled a lot. Have a great day!
