Why is there blood in my stool?
I wanted to ask why is there blood in my stool? I have had some blood in my poop before because of hemorrhoids, but I'm concerned now because this time it was more than just blood on the toilet paper, it was also on the toilet water and in the stool. When I did try to poop, it was hard and some part was sharp too, which is making me think that it was because of that, but I googled why and it made me overthink that I might have a serious problem.

Blood in stool can be caused by different causes like hemorrhoids, anal fissures, inflammatory bowel disease, infections, polyps. But, since there is also blood in the toilet water, so it will be prescient to consult a gastroenterologist immediately. They can do the physical examination, suggest tests, and give the required treatment.

I loose my appetite for days and some times weeks. I tend to think I don’t eat that much naturally. I feel there are phlegms within my throat. I salivate a lot during those periods. At times too I eat a lot and have the urge to eat more (but this don’t last long).
Male | 32
You could be having some digestive problems. When you don’t feel like eating and your mouth waters more than usual as well as feeling that you have phlegm in your throat; it might mean that there is heartburn or indigestion. These conditions can cause discomfort when one eats food. To relieve the symptoms, attempt to eat small but frequent meals throughout the day; avoid spicy or greasy foods, and ensure that your body remains hydrated at all times. If these signs persist then seek medical attention from a gastroenterologist for further diagnosis as well as treatment options.

Male | 54
It seems like your H. pylori infection, past small gut surgery, and high blood pressure may be behind it all. The hurt could mean swelling, ulcers, or other problems down there. Make sure to tell your doctor about the latest hospital trips and how bad the ache is. They might want to run some more tests or change up your meds to help ease the pain.

These conditions might also explain the tenderness and worsening pain when you move. It's important to address these problems to prevent them from getting worse. Consulting a gastroenterologist about your hernias and back issues could help improve your condition and overall well-being.

I had a colonoscopy on Friday and I am super bloated with major cramps. I also have barely been able to use the restroom since and it hurts to touch my abdomen.
Female | 35
You're having some unpleasant sensations after your colonoscopy. After the procedure, one may feel a little bloated with cramps and experience a difficult time using the restroom. It can be attributed to the air that gets stuck in your colon or the irritation of your intestines. To relieve the discomfort, drink plenty of water, walk around gently, and eat light and easy-to-digest foods like fruits and veggies. Your body needs some time to recover, but if the pain continues or worsens, contact a gastroenterologist for more advice.

Crohn's disease is a chronic inflammatory bowel disease affecting the digestive tract. It results from the immune system attacking the gut lining, causing inflammation and various symptoms like abdominal pain, diarrhea, fatigue, weight loss, and fever. Complications include blockages, ulcers, and fistulas. Treatment involves medications, dietary changes, and sometimes surgery. Consult a gastroenterologist for a personalized treatment plan.

One should get medical help as soon as possible. Your symptoms indicate the possible complication of your case due to hemorrhoids, for example blood clot. As for me, I would advise turning to a gastroenterologist or proctologist immediately in order to receive the right diagnosis and treatment.

Good Afternoon, I was referred by a friend to contact you. I'm set to go to the doctor tomorrow but first want to consult a doctor online before going to my doctor. I have a quite weird symptom - Since the beginning of the year I have been having some stomach problems. I can't eat rich food, like too spicy food, Tomato Sauce and Chillies ect. The other thing Is I have been having now and then stomach cramps also like a heartburn feeling but in my stomach and then the most embarrassing symptom is my stomach growling even when I did eat it still growling. Can you please tell me what might be wrong and what medication I should take. Thank You.
Male | 19
One possibility is that you are suffering from gastrointestinal problems if you feel bothered by things like stomach pain, a heartburn-like sensation, and continuous stomach growling. This can be acute or chronic inflammation of your stomach lining, which usually the symptoms point to. Besides, it is suggested to consume food in small amounts and at short intervals, stay away from those that are spicy or acidic, and for temporary relief use over-the-counter drugs similar to Tums. Talk with a gastroenterologist for their expert advice and treatments.
