Blood In Toilet

Yikes. Just had a very scary bathroom experience. I'm panicking! Advice needed!!

I had what I thought was a normal bowel movement, and then sat there to read for a few minutes. When I got up the whole toilet was red with blood and I was actually dripping a little.

As soon as I wiped, the blood started to fade rapidly - like it usually does.

I've had this happen before, I had a painful fissure once that bled a lot, and I've never like - sat for a while, so maybe this amount is normal - it was REALLY scary though.

I'm completely healthy - no stomach trouble, no infections, no nothing - I had a colonoscopy and all sorts of things about three years ago when I was trying to figure stuff out (about 20 years early on those tests) so my thinking is that it is probably just another fissure - tis the season for dry irritated skin after all. But when I first saw the blood I almost called 911...

Any advice????? Go to the doctor ASAP or wait and see how things go??

First off breath, I had the same thing last year. It could be a few things, a hemeroid or (I didn't check to see if you are a chick but if you are) i was told my my doctor that it's from endometreosis cause they are the same walls. I went to the ER in a complete freak out and I just sat there for 12 hours and all they did was an xray and blood work....i didn't even pee in a cup! I went back the ER and they kept me there for 4 hours and the doctor said "you didn't need to come in for this" and i was like I'M BLEEDING FROM MY ASS!!!!!!!!!!!!!! LOTS of blood too! ugh. so I would go just to get it documented if you have insurance. I'll keep you in my prayers.

Happened to my husband - ended up being internal hemorrhoids. He called his GI and had a colonoscopy (his first) they decided it was an internal hemorrhoid and told him to eat more fiber. If you've got a GI, you could call their office tomorrow (as long as you are no longer bleeding) and talk to a nurse and ask what you should look out for or if you should be seen (since you did have a colonoscopy 3 yrs ago).

Unless it continues to happen every time or all the time(even when not on the toilet..in undies ect) or if you are feeling light headed, sick ect...I would get in to see your GI(call and talk to nurse) or call you reg DR tomorrow(again call and ask for triage otherwise they'll just take a message at front desk and you won't get a call till teh end of tha day) and let them know what's up!

Good Luck!

I definitly agree that you should call your doctor, but Im also going to share a bit of information I heard from one doctor. Feel free to correct me anyone if I am wrong. If the blood looks like dark coffee grounds, it is older blood which means it is coming from higher in your digestional tract and essentially means internal bleeding. That type of bleeding signifys a serious medical problem. If the blood is bright red, fresh blood, its coming from the very very end of the digestive tract such as a hemroid. That type of bleeding should be reported to a doctor, but is not usually considered an emergancy situation unless you are loosing a lot of blood. Either way, good luck!

I agree, darker usually comes from higher up!

Ok, this has happened a lot to me too. But it wasn't hemmorhoids. I have a fissure caused by (wait for it...) a tight ass! I couldn't believe that was an actual medical problem! Seriously, I have a "tense sphincter" which causes fissures (rips in the tissue) which leads to bleeding.

When my doctor told me I said "Are you serious? The medical condition is a tight ass??"

Ahahahaha, thanks for sharing bulrush - I'm SURE this will be my diagnosis as well. :) I've been really stressed lately, so I wouldn't be surprised....

      Thank you so much for sharing your experience and I found myself giggling with happiness as I read how your body reached such spring! And I hope that your current journey is also successful!! Definitely starting the food diary! So many amazing advices. And it’s very scary. It really hits all our soft spots as well as our confidence system. Most doctors I went thought I was underage despite being in my late 20s. Right now I look like am I twelve, but is also this body that’s taking so much, so I might as well love it too! Going to make the necessary changes and stay in this path. Thank you again! 🫶

      Thank you so much for the information and kind message! Reading this transformed how I’ve been viewing my efforts and progress. Guess there’s still a lot to celebrate and also heal 😌  Yes, I’ve been taking it! Just recently started taking a multivitamin supplement and separated vitamin D! I also took chewable Iron polymaltose for ferritin deficiency 2 months ago but was unable to absorb any of it.  Thank you again! Hearing such gentle words from the community makes my body and heart more patient and excited for the future.

      Taken Seriously

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      Your post demonstrates the profound frustration and isolation that so many in the Celiac community feel, and I want to thank you for channeling that experience into advocacy. The medical gaslighting you endured for decades is an unacceptable and, sadly, a common story, and the fact that you now have to "school" your own GI specialist speaks volumes about the critical lack of consistent and updated education. Your idea to make Celiac Disease a reportable condition to public health authorities is a compelling and strategic one. This single action would force the system to formally acknowledge the prevalence and seriousness of the disease, creating a concrete dataset that could drive better research funding, shape medical school curricula, and validate the patient experience in a way that individual stories alone often cannot. It is an uphill battle, but contacting representatives, as you have done with Adam Gray, is exactly how change begins. By framing it as a public health necessity—a matter of patient safety and protection from misdiagnosis and neglect—you are building a powerful case. Your voice and your perseverance, forged through thirty years of struggle, are exactly what this community needs to ensure that no one else has to fight so hard just to be believed and properly cared for.
