Blood in stool. had safe sex with hsv pos 1 month ago. eating a lot of ghost pepper salsa. dont think i have hsv, havent been tested. cause?

Not HSV: You should get checked to confirm that it's blood (via simple test). Most common cause in your age is simple hemorrhoids (but others causes should be ruled out). Nevertheless, despite safe sex, you should always get routine std testing.

Vomited on an empty stomach yesterday evening I had little poppy seed or pepper looking hard things in vomit. Was it from taking my omneprazole pills? Was those the little pellets in the capsules? No stool darkening or bright blood in vomit either?
