is blood in stool normal? the last 2 days i've had a tummy ache and some bad D, and i've noticed that every time i go, i have a bit of blood as well. even when i pass gas, there's a bit of the blood. i'm sort of worried. DH thinks it might be a hemmiroid, but could it be from gluten, or food poison, as i'm normally a "C person". don't know if the dr can even help. just thought i'd bring it up here. thx :)

Hi,

Yes, definately let the doctor know what's going on.

I would get this type of bleeding (not so much bleeding, but blood on the toilet paper) while I was still having the diahreah. For me, it turned out to be internal hemmorhoids. They can get irritated from the constant diahreah.

If this isn't the normal pattern for you (you said you are normally constipated), you could have a stomach virus, which will pass in a few days.

Either way, I'm sure that your doctor will be able to let you know what's wrong.

The single most important thing is is it red or dark brown....

Bright red means its fresh.... this is usaully no cause for concern but still something to mention to a MD....

If you have D its not unusual, but its just overuse.... (ahem)... but it should still be mentioned !! A one off few days while you have D is no big shakes... its the sort of thing you can phone about if its infrequent and your not ill enough to feel you need an appointment... let the MD decide...

Brown means its come from internally... and is definately something to see a GP about....in a serious way like soonest possible appointment....

the dr. did give me suppositories about a year ago when i was in for itching issues. so it most likely is hemmorhoids, but i just wanted to get some ideas. thx. the blood is red, fresh, and today has been just a couple of spots, mostly just itching. what is a good remedy for the itching? the suppositories, well i don't know if they do much except make me feel like i've got a leak in me. thanks again ;)

Blood in stool is never normal, but it isn't always a serious reason. Generally, bright red rectal bleeding is from the lower intestine or rectum. It can be from hemorrhoids,anal fissures(usually hurts with passage of stool) or it may be from polyps, colitis and yes, tumors and other less common conditions. Upper intestinal bleeding in stools is described as melanotic and is black and tarry appearing and VERY foul smelling(sorry.......you did say graphic!!) Having D with this sounds more like colitis or food poisoning to me.......definitely tell your doctor about this, and appropriate testing should be done. Let us know.......hope you feel better soon.

Doing fine, no blood since. Dr. gave me some hemmirhoid cream, said b/c I'm so young and in relatively good health (at least up until 2 years ago I was...lol) he isn't worried about it. Said for me to call if I have any more episodes and we'd do a colon scan thing, but for now, it's probably not worth the torture. I'm okay wit that :)

On another note, I did ask him if I could have some blood work done and...you'll have to read about that in my other post...just about to make it now :P

Thanks for the help everyone!

      Nicotine Gum For Gluten Symptoms.. Am I Crazy?

      By sleuth · Posted

      He is not just a psychiatrist.  He is also a neuroscientist.  And yes, I have already read those studies.   I agree with benfotiamine.  This is short term while glutened/inflammation occurs.  As I had already mentioned, these symptoms no longer exist when this phase passes.  And yes, I know that celiac is a disease of malnutrition.  We are working with a naturopath.

      Please do more research before you settle on nicotine. Dr. Paul New house is a psychiatrist.  His latest study involves the effect of nicotine patches on Late Life Depression which has reached no long term conclusions about the benefits.   Effects of open-label transdermal nicotine antidepressant augmentation on affective symptoms and executive function in late-life depression https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/39009312/   I'm approaching the subject from the Microbiologist's point of view which shows nicotine blocks Thiamine B1 uptake and usage:   Chronic Nicotine Exposure In Vivo and In Vitro Inhibits Vitamin B1 (Thiamin) Uptake by Pancreatic Acinar Cells https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/26633299/   While supplementation with thiamine in the form Benfotiamine can protect from damage done by  nicotine: Benfotiamine attenuates nicotine and uric acid-induced vascular endothelial dysfunction in the rat https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/18951979/   I suggest you study the beneficial effects of Thiamine (Benfotiamine and TTFD) on the body and mental health done by Dr. Derrick Lonsdale and Dr. Chandler Marrs.  Dr. Lonsdale had studied thiamine over fifty years.   Hiding in Plain Sight: Modern Thiamine Deficiency https://pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC8533683/ I suggest you read their book Thiamine Deficiency Disease, Dysautonomia, and High Calorie Malnutrition.     Celiac Disease is a disease of malabsorption causing malnutrition.  Thiamine and benfotiamine: Focus on their therapeutic potential https://pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC10682628/

      Thanks for your response.  Everything you mentioned he is and has been doing.  Tobacco is not the same as nicotine.  Nicotine, in the form of a patch, does not cause gastrointestinal irritation.  Smoking does. He is not smoking.  Please do your research before stating false information. Dr. Paul Newhouse has been doing research on nicotine the last 40 years at Vanderbilt University Medical Center.

      Fighting for a name

      Im so frustrated and still getting the run around trying to reprove my celiac disease which my past primary ignored for 25 years.I understand that theres a ray of medical that doctors are limited too but not listening and telling the patient ( me) that im not as sensitive as I think and NOT celiac!Correction Mr white coat its not what I think but for cause and affect and past test that are not sticking in my medical records.I get sick violently with foods consumed, not eating the foods will show Im fabulous. After many blood draws and going through doctors I have the HLA- DQ2 positive which I read in a study that Iran conducted that the severity in celiac is in that gene.Im glutenfree and dealing with related issues which core issue of celiac isn't addressed. My skin, right eye, left leg diagestive issues affected. I have high blood pressure because im in pain.Im waisting my time on trying to reprove that Im celiac which is not a disease I want, but unfortunately have.It  has taken over my life personally and professionally. How do I stop getting medically gaslight and get the help needed to bounce back if I ever do bounce back to normal? I thought I was in good care with " celiac specialist " but in her eyes Im good.Im NOT.Sibo positive, IBS, Chronic Fatigue just to name a few and its all related to what I like to call a ghost disease ( celiac) since doctors don't seem to take it seriously.
