Irritable Bowel Syndrome Message Boards | Re: bloody bowel movements

Hi - Please see another doc, as it sounds like your old one is a jerk. If you can get to a gastroenterologist, that would be best. Your symptoms could indicate inflammatory bowel diseases like Crohn's or ulcerative colitis, or something else serious could be going on. If I were you, I'd want a really thorough diagnostic workup at this point, to explain the vomiting of bile and the bloody diarrhea, and the fever. These are NOT IBS and any doctor who tells you that is wrong. Get up and walk out of the office and tell the front desk on the way out that you're not paying a dime of the bill if the doctor tries to brush you off about these concerns. They are serious - to the point that you should insist to the GI doc that you need an appointment immediately.

Best of luck, and please keep us posted -

Heather
