Also a bit of blood----which I though MIGHT be the discoloration of the RED Tablet!!

I doubt that the vitamins would still be causing the problem. Usually, once the problem food is removed from the diet, any bleeding that it caused will end within 2 or 3 days. That said, once hemorrhoids become inflamed, they can be troublesome for quite a while, unless treated. If the blood is bright red, (not darker), the odds are high that "rhoids" are the problem, but, of course, there's never any guarantee, without an exam.
If you think that might be the problem, you might try to shrink them by using suppositories for a few days, (you will probably see results in a day or so, but it usually takes a week or two of treatment, to resolve the problem, so that it doesn't immediately reccur), and if that doesn't do the job, an exam is probably in order.
I've been through that before, so I know what you mean about being nervous. In fact, at one point, a doctor told me that I would have to have surgery to correct the problem, or they would bother me for the rest of my life. I used suppositories for a couple of weeks, changed my diet to include a little more fiber, and never had another problem, (except when the MC was flaring, of course). That was 17 years ago, and I'm glad that I didn't agree to the surgery that he insisted I needed.
It's always something, isn't it. (Sigh).

P S Are you getting enough fiber in your diet?
It is suspected that some of the hardest material known to science can be found in the skulls of GI specialists who insist that diet has nothing to do with the treatment of microscopic colitis.
Hopefully, (although not fun) hemorrhoids are the hopeful culprit and nothing more serious. Could be that since the stools have become formed, they are irritating you as they make their appearance!

I used to have problems with hemorrhoids and used over the counter creams and it would take a couple of weeks to get better. I went to my doctor and he prescribed Analpram HC for me . It's a hydrocortisone 1% cream. It did amazing things for me....I would only have to use it twice and the problem would be gone. It worked really well for me. Good luck and I hope you are feeling better soon.
