Should I be worried

[Banhammer]

I been bleeding in my stools for about a week now. not much but every day it gets a little bit more. I am watching what I am eating and all and am having regular non diarrhea BM the doctor when I told him said he would only be concerned if it was bleeding and diarrhea. But err.. Any thoughts from anyone else? I mean I have no pain at all so I don't know. Maybe I should go on a real low residue diet for a week or?

Is it the first time you've bled? EJ bled a lot leading up to his dx and will still occasionally bleed, but growing rarer. Our GI also says not to be concerned as long as it doesn't get worse. Sounds like yours may be getting worse so keep an eye on it for sure!!

 

[Banhammer]

Yeah Dexky I mean its not a lot of blood to were I am like OH MY GOSH! but on toilet paper its there and a small bit in the stool

It could be due to hemmorhoids. They might be internal if they aren't external.

 

[Banhammer]

Err! I hope so crohns 08 I mean lets just hope so I am going to wait out this week and if still I am going to call dr again

You sound as if you have things well in control. As you said, keep an eye on things and if it doesn't resolve or gets worse call the doctor. If it does go away I would still mention it at your next scheduled visit.

I'm assuming this is fresh blood so as crohns08 said it may well be haemorrhoids.
