Accepted Answer

Less likely so: Loosing 16 pounds in 6+ months on a diet is not unusual and colon cancer, or other cancers, would seem less likely. Small amount of blood in stool may just be from hemorrhoids. Some mucus in stool can be normal.**But to be on the safe side discuss your symptoms with your physician who will decide if you need a colonoscopy.

Infection: Bacterial stool cultures done?  Parasites?  Would also check for inflammatory disease of intestines.

Rest: Gastritis.  As long as you are not having severe pain your light bloody mucous is probably from the alcohol . Alcoholic gastritis is common. Clear fluids, rest and time should help.

Colitis: Sounds like colitis. There are many different forms which all have if fervent treatments. However, depending on your age, blood from the rectum can also be a sign of olon cancer. Sounds like you need a colonoscopy.  See your physician asap.

Question 9

i feel like i've had the body flu for awhile now.... there's blood in my stool and mucus when wipe. i always feel light headed like i'm gonna pass out?

Accepted Answer

Go In Now: Blood in the stool is a reason to get prompt medical evaluation. 
Also, if you have a gastrointestinal bug which causes bloody stools, again is a reason to go in for an evaluation. Only a few causes of gastroenteritis have bloody stool as a finding and may need antibiotics.
 Lightheadedness/almost passing out could represent blood loss, or more commonly significant dehydration.

Accepted Answer

Severe constipation: Above symptoms should be further investigated with your primary care physician and the need for further tests such as colonoscopy questioned in this context. Proper hydration, proper diet and physical exercise along with daily stool softeners are also recommended.
