If it is bright red blood, then it is probably coming from your rectum, which is no big deal. Try using a cortisteriod cream on the outside of your rectum.

well, that explains why -when I got on Prozac 6 weeks ago, I have felt so much better. It has helped me with the terrible fatigue I had, and also relieved my nervous tummy.

When my tummy is bad, my eyes get bad, usually one eye at a time, like you. I also get weird stingy things in my eye. I use pre...

I don't know what causes it. I think mine is folliculitis. My Gastro doc asked me if I had any rashes and I told him no, b...

Hi, my doctor, Associate Professor of Gastroenterology at UT Southwestern, Dallas, said it is environmental. He said "only eat Organic foods". It is working for me.

Hi, no he did not elaborate, as there was too much to tell him. He did say, "have you seen the sheen that is on meat at the grocery store". He said all these chemicals are making us sick.

Remember to introduce new things into your diet, one at a time...otherwise it makes it very difficult to pinpoint what has made you ill. At this point, like Tex said, stop those new pills right now.

Is it bright red blood? Is it coming from your rectum or is it in the toilet in your stool?
