Hello all I found this forum after doing some research on my situation. For starters I have had issues with my stomach since I was a kid. Here recently I have lost over 20lbs and am now down to 145ilbs and I had severe diareha and just happen to notice that it had blood in my stool, which freaked me out. The more I researched the more I thought something may be wrong with me. I was on Accutane when I was a teen for severe acne and everything I have read states that it has been linked to IBD. I only have 1 BM a week and its been that way for a long time, its either hard as a rock or diareha, I constantly have back pain, abdominal pain almost like something is stabbing me in the lower left side of my abdomen. I went to the my doctors office and they said the wanted me to see a GI, while there they wanted me to do some blood work and they couldn't even find a vein to draw blood so they had to take it out of my hand. Any advice would be appreciated
