Red blood Cell Count/Creatinine Levels

I have recently gone for bloodwork and my red blood cell count is slightly low and my creatinine level is is slightly elevated. Due to this fact my doctor suggested seeing a kidney specialist. I was shocked.
Since I have severe health anxiety, this has caused increased panic and only added to my IBS symptoms.
I currently am dealing with IBS M. However, since receiving these results I have been experiencing more IBS D.
Can anyone relate to this?
Thank you…

  1. I can absolutely relate to the health anxiety. I also always get IBS-D flares because I stress over everything. Do you have an appointment to see the kidney specialist yet? I hope other community members will be able to share their experiences with similar bloodwork results soon. Sending big hugs, Karina (team member)
