3 months ago I had my appendix out. I was taken to emergency room with pretty bad lower abdominal cramps and suspected appendicitis. I was operated on straight away, and found not to have appendicitis.
I had a bag of infectous fluid around my appendix.
3 months on I am still getting the cramps, just as painful although I have learn't to deal with pain.
I have 5 stools with blood in past 2 months and nearly all my stools have yellow mucus
Abdominal cramps also on lower left side as well as right
My doctor has diagnosed me with fecal loading, a form of constipation. The thing is, I really dont think I am constpated. I go to the toilet regulary, and I dont strain to do so.
I really think this is the wrong diagnosis.
What do you think it might be?? I have ideas - crohns/UC/ food intoloerence/ another sack of fluid??
Please tell me what you think!

Constipation can cause severe abdominal pains. but it normally, don't cause rectal bleeding. You should correct constipation by drinking a lot of fluids, prunes, and eating a high fiber diet.
And it definitely will not cause you to have 5 bloody stools. Gastroenteritis; Acute pancreatitis ; diverticulosis or intestinal obstruction might.
