See GI doctor...: Blood in the stools is never normal and can have many causes. What color is the energy drink? If it is red, it is possible it is not blood in the stools but from the color of the energy drink. But, if it is blood, you should see a GI doctor to see why there would be blood in your stools-hemorrhoids are possible but there are other possibilities as well. So, see a GI doctor ASAP. Good luck!
