>Hi Tina,
I don't mind any advice at all at this point. I have blood that shows up both by the naked eye and by test. I have had peritonitis of an unknown cause which has resulted in additional adhesions. As of last week, the doctor I was seeing said I just had irritable bowel. Since then I am seeing a new doctor and we are starting over on trying to find out where the blood and infections are coming from. I guess the adhesions probably aren't the problem and my new doctor is back to suspecting Crohn's but sometimes I feel like my insides are ripping out and the pain is blinding which is what I went through when the adhesions had bound my uterus to my abdomen. My PCP is not giving me a referal yet to a urologist or even my gyn as she is waiting on the test results the GI is going to do later this month. I don't take many medications, perscriptions or otherwise. I do understand they can cause bleeding, but would a taking them a few times a month show visible blood in the urine and stools? I feel like I am in a going around in a circle with the docs. Thanks for your advice. I welcome any comments or advice, always. I have gotten more good advice and support through this forum than in nine years of dealing with doctors, complicated by insurance )but thats a whole different issue). Thanks again. I hope you are having a good day yourself. Ginny
