I had blood in my stool a few years back and I had to see a GI doctor for it - a colonoscopy was performed and they found out that the bleeding was to due to my IBS... so hang in there and try not to worry any more than you have to and see what the doctor has to say... ((( hugs )))

It will be best to reach this Dr. for tests.

It could be many things, from an inflection, to a strained vessel, irritable bowel, etc.

I'm glad you aren't afraid. Let us know what happens, if you would like to.

Best to you and your health.

Peace and Support,
