Blood tests do not always reveal a problem.  It doesn't mean you're "okay.". Go back to the doctor and demand some more tests.  Explain how much weight you have lost, how you can't go to the toilet (that's an emergency!!), and how you don't want to be dismissed because you're "too young." Michael J. Fox was told by multiple doctors that he couldn't possibly have Parkinson's because he was too young, even when he presented classic symptoms of it.  

A colonoscopy sounds in order.
