Living Hell past 4 months

I really need advisw from all you mates. I never had a stomach pain & currently I am facing living hell. Daily Abdominal pain, wind, bloatedness. All this happened when i was diagnosed with H plyori & post receiving Antibiotics this started and has gone worst. Colonoscopy didnt detect anything and doctors assume its IBS... I have a question pls - Does IBS cause Dark and Tarry Stools and red blood on tissue. Pls help

  1. I'm so sorry you're dealing with these terrible symptoms. Dark, tarry stools and blood aren't usual symptoms of IBS, it sounds like there might be something else going on. Since this happened after antibiotics, is it possible that you developed an infection like C. diff.? I'd definitely ask for stool and blood tests and wouldn't personally accept an IBS diagnosis when you're symptoms are so severe.
    I hope you'll get some relief soon. Please keep us updated.
