Gastroenterology: You need an immediate referral to a Gastroenterologist to rule out colitis. In addition, blood in the stool needs urgent evaluation each time. If you loose too much through your stool, you can become anemic. You need screening for colon cancer, colitis, proctitis, and diseases such as Ulcerative Colitis, Chrons Disease, and if you eat spinach/get fever/chills Hemolytic Uremic Syndrome. See MD
