A member asked:

I had a bowel resection on monday. since last night i have been having bloody stools (first like coffee grounds, now red blood.) i have been going pretty frequently. my hemoglobin was 10.8 this morning but by noon it was 8.3. is this okay?

This suggests significant ongoing blood loss. I hope you are in the hospital being monitored. You need to discuss this with your treatment team.
