Diagnosis:

Inflammatory bowel disease (diarrhoea, location of pain, fatigue, weight loss, blood in stools, extra-gastrointestinal manifestations)

Other differentials:

Chronic pancreatitis (possible due to weight loss, fatigue, abdominal pain but less likely due to location of pain, no other suggestive symptoms)

Coeliac disease (possible due to abdominal pain and diarrhoea but less likely as not linked to any specific foods)
