Sharon, I had similar problems- but I am IBS D. When I finally got to the surgeon I had been through 3 colonoscopies with no results. Turned out that I have a smaller than normal colon (at the bottom) and I will tear the walls with each bowel movement. This would keep me from emptying and would feel similiar to having hemorroids. Before I finally succombed to having surgery, I suffered from internal rectal bleeding, anemia, fissures, etc. Something to think about.

Also, if they don't find anything- put them on standby. Tell them you will want an appointment on the same day you experience symptoms. This should be the opportune time for the surgeon to do an examination on you. This was the only way my surgeon found my tear. Those parts heal quickly...

My 2 cents and something to think about for you.
