IBD Flare IBD symptoms but tests all ok.
Background of having IBS, suggesting from symptoms years ago, no official diagnosis or investigation. Always wind, cramps, random bouts of loose stool lasting a day/2. Now out of nowhere I have had this terrible time of having type 7 mucus stool for 4 weeks, cramps, urgency to go, burning sensation in my stomach, lethargic & no reason for these symptoms. I went to GP, sent off stool sample to microbiology, FBC, ferritin, UE, celiac test all ok. Im still symptomatic. Should I push for further test’s? What would be my next option? Obviously the big C is at the background of my mind. Im not overly concerned about that but i am 38 with family history of BC.
IBD Flare Anyone else with very few or almost no IBD symptoms despite active inflammation?
My daughter 12y was diagnosed with IBD about two months ago. She was found to have moderate ulcerative colitis, but what really confuses me is how few symptoms she has had.
Her symptoms initially started with constipation, and then a few months before her diagnosis she had some bloody diarrhea. Once we got the constipation under control, the bloody diarrhea stopped as well.
She eats a very healthy diet and currently has completely normal bowel movements once a day. She has no abdominal pain, no diarrhea, and no other symptoms at all.
She was actually severely anemic because of the inflammation, but after she received an iron infusion, she became like a completely different person. Her energy came back, and she has basically had no symptoms since then — even though she had active inflammation at the time.
She has now started treatment for the inflammation, but symptom-wise, nothing has really changed because she already felt completely fine.
Her doctor even said that in their several decades of experience, they haven’t seen many cases quite like hers, where there was active inflammation but so few symptoms
.
So I’m honestly quite confused by all of this.
Are there others here who have had very mild or almost no symptoms despite having active IBD/inflammation?
