These three symptoms are included in a wide variety of illnesses, but the most common is possibly an inflammatory bowel disease, or irritable bowel syndrome. If these symptoms occurred after a cold, it could be a viral gastroenteritis.
When someone has inflammatory bowel disease (IBD), parts of their GI tract will “flare up,” and cause many symptoms such as irregular stools, bloody diarrhea, and abdominal cramping.
I have noticed also, some patients will develop fatigue, malaise, a low grade fever or night sweats. Joint pains have been associated with IBD. But usually the first symptom is fever. Fever is simply your immune system working overtime to get ride of an infection or inflammation.
If you have emotional stress, or history of emotional, psychological or sexual abuse, or dietary indiscretions, you may have recurrences of IBD.
If you have these symptoms and also complain of pain around the anus, you may have Crohn’s disease. Crohn's Disease is an autoimmune disease where the immune systems attacks the colon. Weight loss is seen more in Crohn’s disease because the colon doesn’t absorb digested foods as well.
It can take years for someone to be diagnosed with IBD. If you or a family member complains of recurrent abdominal pain, fevers, and diarrhea, please come in to see your doctor.
