Problem with Colon

A 20 year old male college student experiencing issues with the colon.  Slight blood in the stool, thin stool, use toilet 5-7 times per day; feel like still have to use toilet.  Have experienced some loss of energy.  Cramps after use the toilet. No problem with urination.  Scheduled for a colonoscopy in a couple of weeks. Believe this situation started when he ate undone chicken in the college cafeteria.  This started Feb 2013.

Does anyone else have any similar symptoms.

The doctor did a stool sample, which was not definitive, and he had already taken two rounds of antibiotics which did not work.  Doc. said he did not want to give a 3rd round because it could do more harm than good.  He is scheduled for a colonoscopy in a couple of weeks.

you have to do a stool examination to see if it contains bacteria or protozoa that cause symptoms similar with that you are suffering... and if that
test was negative .. or normal.. you should go  for colonoscopy ..
