Hi I was recently diagnosed with IBS and my doctor prescribed me with Amitiza to help regulate my bowels. It was working well for the first few weeks but I then I started exercising everyday in an attempt to become healthier. However, now the Amitiza seems to no longer be working and today for the first time ever I saw some blood in my stool. Well, it wasn t really in my stool it was more off on its own mixed with some kind of mucus just floating on the surface. Can Amitiza cause blood in my stool or is this more serious than me and my doctor originally thought
Hello, I read carefully your query and understand your concern. Amtrak rarely cam cause blood in stool. The symptoms are more related to hemorrhoids. If the bleeding continues or is repeated, I suggest consulting a proctologist for further evaluation. Hope my answer was helpful. If you have further queries feel free to contact me again. Kind regards!  Chat Doctor.
