New to this Forum, I have a Few Questions.

I have GERD, Severe Acid Reflux, Inflammation of my Esophagus, and chronic gastritis.

Lately, I get a full/pressure feeling in my upper abdomen, pain in my stomach, TONS of gas, diarrhea ( sorry ) quite often, I can make 3-7 bowel movements on any given day.

Lastnight after making a bowel movement, when I wiped I noticed blood on the toilet paper, and in my stool/covering it. it was bright red, so I assume it isn't from my stomach problems themselves, and my esophagus, I've been told itll be dark or black like color if its from far up the GI tract.

I've had the blood happen one other time.

I see my GI Dr this coming Tuesday.

I try and avoid Google, I have very terrible Health Anxiety, so that's a huge "no no" for me.

Does anyone have experiences with any of this?
Any insight?

I'm sorry if this post is all over the place.

Thank you.

Thank you so much for your response, I greatly appreciate it, I plan on making a list of things and asking my GI Dr for more testing to get to the bottom of this. my PPI no longer works at all, so I need to do something.

Definitely. Thank you!
