  • I’d sayosteo-arthritis isn’t themostlikelydiagnosis. It’s more likelyIBS,orsomeothergastro-intestinal disorder. Youshouldsee a physician. You’ll mostlikelybegiven somebasic tests likea stool evaluation (tocheck forblood inyourfeces,andforcertainparasites),aswell asblood tests (toevaluate forCeliac disease),andperhaps a Small Bowel Follow-Through tocheck forparticular problems intheintestines. Ifthose areallnegative,youmightreceive a colonoscopy. Ifitisalsonegative,thenmostlikelyyouwillbetreated withanantispasmodic medication forIrritable Bowel syndrome.

    Goodluck. It’s noteasy. Beenthere,done that…I’d check withanallergist aswell. Sometimes youcanpresent symptoms ofa disorder such asCeliac,butitmightberelated toallergies whichpresent intestinally instead….

    Hope thishelped!

  • Examination ofstool gives onlylimited information. Itcanshowinfection,eitherwithbacteria,virus orparasites. Itcanshowthatblood loss isoccurring. Itcanalsosuggest colitis ormalabsorption,butisnotdiagnostic foreither. Itcannotpoint directly toallergy,andI don’t really understand yourosteoarthritis reference. Yourothersymptoms alone arenotdiagnostic,howeveriftheyarepersistent theywouldrequire investigation.
