TMI but this is really disconcerting to me

[flex]

I just went poo and there was a LOT of blood in the toilet. A.Lot. I've had an occasional "scratchy" poo in the past year and there was a bit of blood in the stool (like I said, TMI), but this is bad. It was a like a very watered down tomato soup in the toilet.

I don't think this warrants an ER trip, but I'm getting my jeans on and heading to the "doc in a box" right now.

What is the "doc in a box"? Like an urgent care center?

Regardless, I hope everything is okay. This sounds incredibly alarming. I hope you get some answers.

Good call on the doc. Good Luck!!

Have you recently eaten beets or beet greens? I only ask because I once ate a bunch of both and my poop was bright red. I happened to have this technicolor poo in the ER where I was for an allergic reaction to a medication. The ER nurse looked at me like I was out of my mind when I asked about it, but it totally freaked me out.

That's scary, flexie. I'm glad you're going to the doctor.

Definitely see a dr. I hope everything is ok!

I think there is a good chance that it is nothing serious, but def get it checked out.

I'm betting hemorrhoid.

Ditto pp. Have you had beets or a lot of cranberry juice/cranberries? Glad you are getting things checked out.

I hope it's just a hemmy. Good luck, Flex!!

I hope you're ok.

I have a lot of hemmorrhoid issues and every now and then it looks like a massacre in my toilet. So gross. Hopefully it's nothing more than that!

[luvvy]

I hope it is nothing.

[edithbouvierbeale]

so how's your butt? when I had that ...ahem...fissure issue...there was a lot of bleeding going on in my rear cabin.

I hope you're ok!

That definitely sounds like a situation a Dr. should know about. Good luck!

[snorky]

Good call on the doctor visit- blood in stool should always warrant a trip to a professional. Like a pp mentioned, the fact that it's bright red is a "good" sign, it means that you're not likely to be bleeding internally. If you were, you would have black tarry poop.

I have that happen when I had a hemorrhoid.
