See doctor: Diarrhea for week w blood certainly need MD attention for stool cultures, and depending on symptoms, possible further tests. Will need more info and happy to consult. Meanwhile avoid milk and milk products, hold off on: caffeine, artificial sugars, and high fructose/corn syrup commonly in drinks.
