I have blood in my stool and it has been going on for nearly 3 years now but its on & off. Lately the blood in my stool was heavy and it squirts all over the toilet bowl. It lasted foe 3 days. So I thought maybe I have been eating too much spicy foods. I was rushed to a hospital but unfortunately the doctors was not a big help. They keep on saying my blood count went down to 75 H and that I need a blood transfusion . That never occurred because of their lack attention to their patients. I check out not knowing whats wrong. Been 2 days now since I check out and theres no blood in my stool. Just wondering though what caused it in the first place. Im open for any advice.Thanks,Beth
Hi Beth and thanks for posting on this forum. I am so sorry to hear about what you have been through a dthe long-standing blood in stools. From the information you have provided, you have a chronic loss of blood in your stool that was aggravated by the recent large volumes leading to this low blood count. There are several causes of this from hemorrhoids, intestinal worms, inflammatory bowel disease, etc. My advice is that you should get consulted by a gastroenterologist who would investigate and get the cause of this. From there, personalized and adapted solutions would be proposed to you. Please, spicy food, though less likely to cause bleeding in the digestive tract, would not cause bleeding that manifests with bright colored blood. It is clearly not related to this. Get consulted by a Gastroenterologist for adequate investigations and management. I wish you well in your pursuit of solutions to this.
