Hello, I am a 23 year old female and I am also aware that I may be a bit of a worry wart, but at the very beginning of this year(exactly one week away from January 1) I started experiencing diarrhea and extreme lower abdominal cramping. After 2 weeks of it, blood started showing up in my stool(not a hemmroid.) I went to the ER and they gave me antibiotics and told me it was a simple infection. After about 2 weeks of being off the antibiotics, the cramping came back again. It has only happened twice though, and I noticed it occurs after I stress out. My bowel movements are always soft. They are fine in shape but they break apart very easily. Since the very beginning of this whole thing, I have only had 2 normal, healthy bowel movements. The rest have been very soft and breaking apart. Sometimes only a few small pieces will come out. I went to the dr a few days ago and she started asking me about my pelvic area and did a mini pelvic exam (I got a papsmere and full std screening, culture and blood test) about 3-4 months ago and all my results were fine. She ordered me a non-OB pelvic exam and I am also get a full physical exam in a few days. I don't know if what I'm experiencing is actual kidney pain, or back/muscle pain, but it's very light. I didn't start to feel this lower back pain until about 2 days ago. I eat very healthy now, for about 2 or 3 weeks, but I wasn't before. But I've been eating strictly rice, fruits, and vegetables, which have seemed to take practically all of the lower abdominal cramping away. I will still feel bloated and very gassy, but what really scares me is that I've been having the lower back and side pains. I don't know if this "pain" is just in my head or real, because it only started after the dr asked me if I have kidney pain. So maybe I'm making it up, but even if there really is kidney pain, I drink large amounts of water and have normal, close to clear urine. My mind is jumping to the worst things possible and I'm definitely scared for my life! I wish I could just be told I'm not gonna die from this, or that this isn't super serious, or something! ): Any advice or knowledge is appreciate, thank you!
