Feeling Bloated, Fullness And Passing Blood In Stool. Family History Of Crohn's Disease. Worrisome

Thank you for the query.
Hemorrhoid is the last disease that should be diagnosed. There is much more serious disease which has to be ruled out before focusing on hemorrhoids. Most likely you have had this hemorrhoids for years so the current symptoms can be due to other disease. Especially that hemorrhoids can not cause bloating and fullness.
Guidelines do tell that if the person older than 50 years old and has any bleeding with stool or any other abdominal symptoms, colonoscopy should be done. And it should not be surprising for your gastroenterologist.
Only after this test, you can be told that you have hemorrhoids and nothing more.
And if so, you can have it removed with surgery. But colonoscopy should be done first.
Hope this will help. Feel free to ask further questions.
Regards.


The rumbling is pretty steady and bleeding every morning
Your symptoms are most likely caused by diet. Travel can also trigger such symptoms as digestive tract is very sensitive for every habits or diet changes (and travel is such habit change). Stress can also give such symptoms.
To deal with your symptoms you should increase fiber XXXXXXX products, drink more mineral water, avoid fatty foods, soft drinks, spicy foods. You should also start probiotics supplementation. For hemorrhoids treatment you can try sitz baths with Quercus Cortex, wash your rectum after every stool, and use prescription free hemorrhoids suppositories.
Hope this will help.
Regards.
