When I went through what you are going through the doctors did an colonoscopy on me and diagnosed me with ulcerative colitis Colitis Irritable bowel syndrome Ischemic colitis Necrotizing enterocolitis Salmonella enterocolitis Ulcerative colitis . Might want to ask your doctor if this could be the cause of your symptoms.

Hi, As you said all the symptoms you have mentioned do not fit in to gastritis. Altered bowel movements with blood and mucus in stool and abdominal pain need to be evaluated with colonoscopy. The fatigue and 'sleepiness' you have could be due to anemia due to blood loss. Consult a gastroenterologist and have colonoscopy done.
