about a month ago i had horrible stomach pains and diarrhea which lasted for almost four hours. (ended up being some sort of stomach virus) the next morning i went to wipe (not with stool) and there was blood (kind of a lot on the toilet paper). that day i went to the ER and they did some blood tests but found everything to be normal. a few days later they did a stool sample (that stool had blood in it) and found no bacteria and no sign of a parasite/illness. they then suggested i follow up with a physician. so a few weeks later i went to see another doctor who did some blood tests and another stool sample. they found my blood to be normal (although with iron saturation levels a little low) and they found nothing wrong with the stool.
so i still havent figured out where the blood was coming from! it has me worried that no answer was discovered! any help would be appreciated! thanks!
