A member asked:
Can ibs be the main cause for blood in stool?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Not usually in blood: Rectal bleeding is not usually symptom of ibs. Hemorrhoids, anal fissures, ulcerative colitis, crohn's disease, diverticular disease, infection , cancer etc. Should consult physician for exam, blood tests, possibly endoscopy and sometimes imaging.
