With my Crohn's, I typically don't have blood in the stool. However, yesterday I was at urgent care diagnosed with pneumonia (if it isn't one thing, it is another). Anyway, the blood test showed a low platelet count. I had my blood drawn a week and a half ago and my platelet count was at the very low end of normal then. I was wondering if the reason could be blood in the stool? I haven't noticed any, but perhaps it is hidden? I can't figure out why my platelet count would drop so much in a week and a half otherwise. I haven't had my period since my last blood test, so that isn't it.
