A member asked:
Started a fiber supplement. noticed past few days when i have a bm its usually a lot of blood with it. not period or hemmrhoid. i take lax 3x a week?

Rectal blood: You may have internal hemorrhoids. Blood in a bm is not normal. Have your physician examine you for diagnosis and treatment. Associated diarrhea may be due to ulcerative colitis. Polyps or other growths have to be ruled out.
