Tonight I had a small streak of blood on my paper on the second wipe, it was pretty light, almost pink. I wiped two more times and it showed up each time. I looked in the water and the water was fine and stool looked like Broccoli tubes (I have only eaten Bro/Cheddar soup today).
I suddenly after years of constant diarrhea due to short bowel and probably IBS.
Think I should be worried about
this? I had to strain a bit to get it out so I was thinking I just broke the skin a bit near the end. I am terrified of colon cancer since I have intestinal discomfort from time to time (gas pain) and recently lost my appetite (though this may be due to worrying...its been getting better) and won't be able to see my GI till Monday. I had a few streaks back in March as well and they lasted for two days. Always light and pencil thin on the paper. Never on the stool or in the bowel.
Think the ruffage just scratched by bowels a bit or the paper did a number on my
opening?
I'll add I just had a CBC done last Wednesday (along with an H paplori test and so other labs (I didnt catch the names). I called and the nurse said they looked good, nothing abnormal. I think if I were anemic (which I would be if i were bleeding from my intestine, right)? They would mention it even if I have Chrons. This was at my GP mind you but he knows I have Chrons and was concerned I wasn't boosting my fiber and vitamins so he is on the ball.
