One episode explosive bloody diahorrea, twinges in left side and nausea, maternal history bowel cancer, loose stools 2 weeks, causes please?

Unknown : The cause for you is unknown, but possibilities include medications, infection, vascular disease, or inflammatory bowel disease, to name a few. A GI specialist would be a good place to start. I would go soon. Hope this helps!
