Well...it ended up being appendicitis!

Appendix ruptured slightly and had an appendectomy last night. Fun times!

Oof!

Well Carlos Sainz won the Australian GP a fortnight after having his appendix removed, what can you do?

oof hope the recovery is ok. Turns out asking a bunch of assorted nufc fans might not be a great substitute for medical professionals

Cheers mate. Appreciate the info

Drop me a message if you need anything!

Should have said, if you've not got urgency and blood it's highly unlikely you have IBD - just that some of they symptoms are similar.

I've got Inflammatory Bowel Disease (IBD) which people often confuse with IBS.

I do often get very bloated and uncomfortable after eating certain foods, with stomach pain etc. When I'm in a 'flare' i.e. when it's bad I urgently need to use the toilet 20+ times a day and often pass blood, something about the bodies immune system attacking itself and causing inflammation of the large intestine.

If it persists I'd have a chat with your GP (if you can get an appointment...!), obviously if it gets worse see someone more urgently.
