Stomach Cramps, Diarrhea, Constipation. Taken Movicol. Blood In Stools. Help

I'm a 28 year old female. I have had severe stomach cramps for a week. I assumed they were menstrual cramps, so ignored them. A couple of days later, I couldn't go to the toilet. When I did go, it was runny. I saw a doctor on Sunday, who diagnosed constipation and diarrhoea. She prescribed Movicol (sic). On Monday, nothing had improved. I saw another doctor who diagnosed a stomach bug with diarrhoea. She prescribed Diaralyte. After drinking that, the only thing that changed was there was no diarrhoea. Whenever I have the urge to go, I only excrete white mucus with flecks of stools. I have noticed slight bleeding on the toilet paper. It feels like there's a blockage. My stomach cramps itself into pushing, and nothing happens, and it hurts more, I cannot eat, as the sight and smell of food makes me want to throw up. I've been drinking lots of water.

Hello! I think you are suffering from acute infectious enteritis. However still get a Xray abdomen to see for Intestinal obstruction.If it is ok then What all you need is a course of oral antibiotics like ofloxacina dn ornidazole, some antispasmodic like drotaverine tds, and proton pump inhibitor like pantaprazole 40mg od before meals, or antiemetic agent like ondansetron. If you dont improve with these medication in another next 3 days. I hope this will help you
