See a doc: You have symptoms that are consistent with an inflammatory bowel disorder. This is a very generic description and is not a diagnosis. The best thing to do is see a trusted gastroenterologist. The doctor will listen to the details of your problem. He/she will do a complete physical examination and then get appropriate laboratory and diagnostic test necessary to get the diagnosis and treatment.

Please get help...: Gi bleeding is never normal, but when prolonged for months associated with lower abdominal distress as you describe, then colitis (colon inflammation) must be ruled out. Possibilities at your age most likely include: 1) inflammatory bowel disease (ulcerative colitis or crohn's); 2) infection, maybe chronic or recurrent. Don't delay further--get evaluated by your doctor or GI specialist.
