See a doctor: Bleeding in the stool can be very serious... You need to see a doctor to check this one out.

Yes: Ibs is usually not associated with blood in stool unless it is due to hemorrhoids. I suspect you may not have the correct diagnosis. Please see a GI doctor or colorectal surgeon for a thorough work up. No amount of bleeding is normal.
