Hi,I am Dr. Subhankar Chakraborty (Gastroenterologist). I will be looking into your question and guiding you through the process. Please write your question below.
Frequent Bloating, Constipation And Diarrhea, Blood And White Chunks In Stool, Nausea. Diagnosed Slow Motility. History Of Hirschsprung S Disease. Suggest
I have frequent bloating, constipation and diarrhea. Occasionally nausea and dizziness. I occasionally have blood in my stool (usually bright red so I assumed from internal hemorrhoids but today it was darker and there appeared to be a small clot in the toilet). I also had a few bowel movements with what appeared to be white chunks in the stool. I see a GI specialist and have had an upper GI test, a sitz marker study, x-rays and ultrasounds and I have not been diagnosed with anything other than slow motility. I have not had a colonoscopy. I have tried acid reflux and constipation rxs that have no helped. I have a history of Hirschsprung's disease and had pull through surgery as a child. The only things I take are a daily multivitamin and Senna to relieve constipation.
Hi, Thank you for the query. I think you should get your colonoscopy done since you have fresh blood in stools with clots. Also you should get your thyroid function tests done. Can consult your GI specialist for your constipation, see if fiber supplements help in addition. Avoid senna as it has an habit forming tendency. Hope this answers your query. Wish you a speedy recovery.
