A member asked:

I had bloody stools for a week now the blood has stopped and when i eat even a bit of food i have diareha that's bright yellow and look like jelly?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Blood in stool: abnormal and concerning for rectal or colon cancer. Diarrhea is also abnormal, but it is most likely infection. Other possibilities are ulcerative or Crohn's colitis, diverticulitis, or ischemic colitis. You must see a doctor for accurate diagnosis and proper treatment.
