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!

      Nausea

      I have trouble with nausea. It often starts when I’m anxious about something (home repairs, sick dog) but continues long after the home is repaired or the dog is healthy again. When it happens I eat less and lose weight. My gastroenterologist suggested ginger or peppermint tea. I don’t know if that will work or not because I haven't had the problem since she...

      Nicotine Gum For Gluten Symptoms.. Am I Crazy?

      Of course my son is on a 100% gluten free diet. I wish his symptoms were not debilitating as there are right now. He cannot work, even when a miniscule of cross contamination occurs. It's not just GI distress, but intense fatigue, brain fog, depression, anxiety, insomnia, etc. It's literally neurological inflammation. Not to be taken lightly here. We...

      Nicotine Gum For Gluten Symptoms.. Am I Crazy?

      Have you tried AN-PEP enzymes, for example, GlutenX (who is a sponsor here)? A lot of research has shown that it can break down small amounts of gluten in the stomach, before it reaches the intestines. It might be a better approach than risking nicotine addiction, and the questionable research around this. I also hope that he’s trying to be 100% Gluten-F...

      Nausea

      Hi all I was diagnosed Coeliac a few years ago and follow a gluten free diet. The list of foods that I can eat without a problem grows shorter on a weekly basis. [I also have diabetes and asthma also]. BUT the reason I am posting this is because I seem to struggle with nausea quite a lot, which is really quite debilitating, and I was wondering...

      Hello  I'm not sure what to think . Seems no matter what I do I get sick. I had some yogurt with only 2 grams of sugar and is labeled gluten free ...the strawberry version seemed to really set me off My jaw is burning as well as my stomach and my feet.  Horrible pain..plus acid reflux and nausea... sensitivity to touch pain. ..yikes !! I don't know if it's from the lactose in the yogurt or if I'm getting an ulcer  This condition can make you question yourself quite a bit.  Then if you are not sure the anxiety comes 😞 Does any of these symptoms sound familiar to anyone? The neuropathy is quite intense.  What do you eat or drink after this happens  Open to suggestions  Thank you
