A member asked:
I have blood in stool. a lot of bloating. i feel the blood is from small intestine not colon. is there any way doctor can tell if it's from small or large intestine?

Bloody BM: Blood in your bowel movements should be characterized. Is it blood streaked. Small bowel bleeding usually causes black bowel movements unless you are having a large bleed. A colonoscopy can easily rule out colonic bleed. A Pill Cam can take photos of your entire small intestine
