Needs to be monitored and may need sigmoidoscopy

Detailed Answer:
Hi! Welcome to health care magic! Thanks for sharing your concerns with us. We will try to help you in best way possible.

First of all, it is sad to know what you had gone through. Yes it can be food poisoning leading to dysentery but two episodes are still too early to diagnose that the blood came from intestines. It can be from some local source like hemorrhoids or some anal polyp.

You need to get it examined by a surgeon and may need a detailed digital rectal examination and sigmoidoscopy. The other symptoms of food poisoning are not present yet so Monitor any increase in symptoms before deciding to seek a medical facility for management with fluids of antibiotics. Hope this has answered your query, if you have any more questions, feel free to ask. Regards.
