Worried, ruptured or torn colon?

I'm not really sure what just happened to me. I've been doing quite well, 1-2 solid bm's per day, and rarely see blood (if I do, it's just a tinge). This morning I went to the washroom and and a normal perfect poo, no blood. about an hour later I went back and had a large poo, with some straining, it was normal consistency, I didn't expect any blood (I can usually tell if things are inflamed) but when I looked, there was loads of bright red blood, including thick clotted blood. I'm wondering if I somehow got a tear further up in my colon that broke open? I don't think I ever saw this much blood even when I was in a bad flare. I'm wondering if anyone has experienced something like this? It doesn't feel like normal colitis stuff. I feel fine otherwise, and don't really want to take a trip to the er, is this something that can happen when going into remission? I'm just wondering if my colon is not used to solid poo, and just couldn't handle it?

I'm sure you haven't ruptured or torn your colon, but it does sound like you are no longer in remission. I suppose it's possible this blood is from a hemmie tho. I notice you're not using rectal meds. If you have any on hand I'd use them for a few days to see if that solves the problem.

I did seem to develop external hemmies a month ago (painful, and when I looked there was a big bulge around the anus). I used witc hazel pads and it appeared to go away. Could an internal hemmie produce that much blood? Ive never hd hemmies so it's new to me. Im glad you guys dont think its a perforation, that scared me! How can you tell between a burst hemmie or an ulcer?

Good question. Don't believe I've ever seen that answer. Another question along these lines: Noticed a commercial on TV recently for an advanced hemorrhoid treatment center in my area that uses lasers. I wonder it that would be a good way of fighting these buggers.
