dear all,
I wanted to ask if any of you had experienced this. I was diagnosed with proctitis in 2002. I had another colonoscopy in 2010 which showed that the disease had spread to the left side. Otherwise, all was normal. I have been on remission since Sept. 09 (a small flare in Dec). However, for the last two weeks I have been seeing black streaks in my otherwise normal stools. My gastro. is having me do an occult blood test.
I heard that dark streaks may mean bleeding from the upper GI. But have any of you had dark streak or stools that came from the colon or hemorrhoids?
Any thoughts will be appreciated.
