See a G.I. doctor: If you had an episode of G.I. bleeding and are having the new onset of symptoms in the abdomen, it is worthwhile to see your doctor or a gastroenterologist to be sure that everything is OK. In the meantime, you might want to consider increasing the amount of fiber and fluid that you take in. Good luck.
