Help. Bright red blood in diarrhea



Recommended Posts

I'm sorry. I know it's gross. I'm in Mexico and have horrible cramps and then a blood and a bit of waste passes. Help! I'm stuck in the jungle.

I truly don't know. I would suggest calling your doc.

Being down there has to be hard but get a hold of your surgeon RIGHT AWAY!!! That just doesn't sound good...sorry...

I agree with everyone definitely call your doctor!

Just a side note, early out I too thought I was passing blood but turned out just to be dis colored because I was consuming SO much Powerade (oh my gosh that sounds so gross I'm sorry!). Reason for telling is try not to freak yet!

Problem pinpointed. I had a dumping syndrome incident hours before the blood starting to pass. It seems I've injured a portion of intestine with undigested food. It's still going on 24 hours later. I have meds now. Wish me luck and thanks for the support.

Wow! Bloody stool from dumping? This I have never heard of. What did they give you for it?

I hope it gets better for you soon.

They gave me an intestinal antispasmodic, an immotiam type drug and Probiotics. Clear Liquids for 12 hours. What a way to drop another 2 lbs! Thanks to all!

I sure hope the rest of your journey goes much better!!!! I guess this is one reason I really hesitated going to MX. Seriously thought about it but now glad I have decided to stay "home" to do this... Good luck to you and so glad you are feeling better!!!

        Have a great Wednesday too! Sorry you're hungry all the time, I'm pretty much the same..and I'm sick of eating the same food all the time.

      Well, tomorrow I go in for an impromptu hiatal hernia repair after ending up in the ER over the weekend because I couldn't get food down and water was moving at a trickle... I've been having these symptoms on and off for a few weeks but Sunday was the worst by far and came with chest pain and trouble breathing. The ER PA thinks it is just esophagitis and that the surgeon and radiologist are wrong. But the bariatric surgeon swears it is a hernia, possibly a sliding one based on my symptoms. So he fit me into his schedule this week to repair it! I hope he's right and this sorts it out. He's going to do a scope afterwards to be sure there is nothing wrong with the esophagus. Here's hoping it all goes well!!

      Having gall bladder surgery in a few days and I so hope the recovery is easier than the one from the modified DS! I could use a bit of luck/pep talk for a change. I'm starting to be able to walk around without experiencing dizziness, but it would be great if the random pain in my chest and abdomen would go away!!
