Hi!! I am really worried about my mother. She has had severe pains in her stomach for years....They only come about once a year but there really bad. She just had one last night for the first time in a year!! I woke about about two a.m. lastnight and heard her moaning when i walked in she was holding her stomach and in really bad pain. More than 7 years ago she had the same attack my father took her to the hospitol to get her checked out but they could not diagnose the problem. When she has these attacks she has uncontrolable diahrea and vomiting...Also i noticed lastnight that when she was vomiting she was also throwing up blood ....Do you have any idea what this may be??She is making an appt next week to see a stomach specialist but i am worried if you can help me think of some ideas of what this maybe i would greatly appreciate it thanks.

It could be a lot of things, it's good you are getting it checked
How are your eating habits?
Hi Carissa - blood and mucous in your stool could be inflammatory bowel disease: Crohn's or Ulcerative Colitis. You can get blood in your stool from haemorrhoids, but I don't think mucous. The colonoscopy should diagnose the problem properly. Good luck on Friday.
Take care, Liz.
