Blood in stool

[Pink44]

Hi, has anyone had blood in there poo?

I’m so worried

I’m still waiting for emergency doctors to call me back.. I am constipated so it was difficult to pass the stool..

So I took a sachet to help.. usally they take hours to work.. then 30 min later I was on the toilet again 4 other times but loose stools with nothing in it..

I have a slight pain lower right..

Should I be worried?

I am ibs to .. celiacs also

Help please

Hi.Hopefully your doctors got back to you. Blood in poo can happen and your dr will diagnose.

Generally if fresh can be from haemorrhoids bleeding or a small tear if the stool was hard to pass as you say. If no blood with loose stools might have been from the constipation.

I suffer ibs. I gave up a few foods and think sensitive to fodmaps.

Personally speaking and through many elimination diets certain fibres not good for constipation like gluten free bread which is high in added fiber.

Meant to add, low fiber diet actually had opposite effect as would think. and helped constipation a long with magnesium.but everyone’s different.

I eat a healthy diet.. I don’t eat enough fibre.. I do have fruit &veg.. I need to get some magnesium..

Hi, yes dr just got back to me.They said nothing to worry about, it will be haemorrhoids.. but with me having anxiety she said she will book me in at my drs to have a proper examination..

Thank you for getting back to me..

Hi. I actually got diagnosed with celiac after stool test. All of the sudden I got anemia and asked my doctor for stool test,they called me 2 hours after test and said that I have occult blood in my stool. I was extremely anxious and got panic attack. After my colonoscopy doctor said colon is clear but you have celiac disease. Don’t worry please. You mentioned that you had constipation so most probably it caused bleeding… and also when I was 25 I got bloody diareha with pain and it turned out nothing or it was the beginning of celiac, I don’t know…

ANY blood from anywhere is a cause for concern. But you probably have piles, or being constipated gave you a little tear. Or you have been eating beetroot - beetroot juice appears like blood sometimes. I have just noted that you are going to see GP, that is good. Anxiety is horrible, I have been their with health stuff, including what turned out to be a haemorrhoid.
