“Am I okay?”
I’m aching in many parts of my body. My abdomen is swollen on the right side. It hurts and I pass blood and it feels like razors in my stomach after I eat until I poop and then it will stop. My back, hips, and other joints hurt so badly. I have red skin on my arms, face, and legs, it’s red and very hot to the touch. I’m so exhausted I can’t even find words to describe it.

This sounds very serious. You need to either go to the ER or see a physician.
Your symptoms are concerning and you should seek medical attention. If they continue to worsen please call 911 or go to the nearest emergency room.
A detailed history and physical exam should be done. The non-GI symptoms and the GI symptoms may or may not be related to each other but a good physician should be able to sort it out. The GI symptoms in particular may have a benign explanation such as bloating (from carbohydrate malabsorption), hemorrhoids, and irritable bowel.
