A member asked:

My stomach was looking bigger than usual but this morning i pooped. it looked like tissue was in it and a tiny bit of blood. what could this be?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Not normal, get help: Blood in stool is a warning sign. Brisk bleeding warrants emergency care. Causes of bleeding may be predictable (e.G rectal trauma), but evaluation is always appropriate. A rule of thumb (but not absolute): black stool means bleeding comes from upper GI tract; grape jelly stool from small bowel; silver stool from biliary tree; burgundy stool from right colon; red blood from left colon to anus.
