A member asked:

Blood in stool?its not a large amount but its still strange.ive been taking one 600mg ibuprofen a day for 3days. could that cause it?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Yes: Anti-inflammatories may inhibit platelet plugging, bleeding time, so enhances bleeding from fissures or hemorrhoids. Blood from stomach or nearby areas typically oxidize to black stool. Should have it checked by physician.
