Hard to: explain. HepC with liver cirrhosis and portal hypertension will be likely reason for the bleeding. likely bleeding rectal varices. May need management of HepC and if portal hypertension reducing portal pressure with beta blockers

Unlikely: Omeprazole causing this. Likely internal lower gastrointestinal bleeding or could be hemorrhoids. See your doctor for further evaluation and discussion.
