What To Do For Blood In Stool, Abdominal Pain And Diarrhea?

I have had blood in my stools, chronic abdominal pain and constant diarrhea. I have had an endoscopy, a half colonoscopy...cant remember its medical term, an ultrasound and an mri of the bowel. I have cold sweats, hot flushesand am always tired. I now have pain in my left side below my rib cage and also in the shoulder. The tests came back negative. I have ibs, and my consultant is trying to assure me this is ibs, although the symptoms are completly different. I am only 24. Please help.

Hello
I really appreciate your concern
Blood in stool is a matter of concern, excess blood loss can lead to anaemia or you may require iron infusion or blood transfusion.
at the outset I would like further information for better assessment of the condition
Since how long you a refund having these symptoms
what all medicines you have taken
If you can upload me the endoscopy report?

If I were your treating doctor I would have advised you for life style modifications and certain drugs which help in IBS like chordiazepoxide, and dietary fibre supplements
you should avoid stress and anxiety
you should take healthy and well balanced food of largely of fruits and vegetables 
Pain below the left lower cage might be related to hyperacidity in stomach so you can take pantoprazole or ranitidine group of drugs with antacids for 5 to 7 days

Hope this answers your question
Please do let me know if you have any more doubts I will be happy to help you
Best wishes
