SO i am new to this forum but have been going to it for sometime whenever i have a health related issue!
IBS runs in the family and i have had attacks (1hr max) before. So i am no stranger to it eithier. But over the past 5 days every time i eat i FEEL like i need to go to the bathroom right away! MY stomach will get a LIGHT cramp feeling for 10 seconds tops then dissapear i will try to make BM and either ill make a normal one or none at all. Friday night i made a regular BM and when i wiped i saw a SMALL amount of bright blood on the tissue,followed by having an itiching rectum (gross i know!!) . so i basically have 2 problems i would like to get some feedback from! Can IBS last 5 days with LITTLE cramping or is something serious. What does the a little BRIGHT blood mean? hemorrhoids? My stool is normal and no blood in there.
Im 19 yr old female 5'2 95 pounds&naturally thin

The bright red blood that you are seeing could be from hemmorhoids or an anal fissure, but you need to see a doctor to get a diagnosis and to rule out something more serious. Hemmorhoids and anal fissure would never cause cramping and so I would highly recommend seeing your doctor to get this checked out.

If it should turn out to be hemmorhoids, please do not strain, this will make the situation worse! Try to make sure you are drinking enough water(64oz) and getting enough fiber, 25-30 grams from both soluable and insoluable foods. Citrucel or Metamucil might be helpful and also, try not to spend a long period of time sitting on the toilet, as this will make your hemmorhoids worse.
