A member asked:
Please tell me, could red blood in stool come from the small intestine?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
It most certainly: Could but first you need to be tested to be sure that it is actually blood. Duodenal ulcers, crohn's disease, meckel's diverticulum can all cause bleeding and occur in the small bowel.
