Blood wipe outs could be from painless, infected internal?external piles, which need to be examined for its causative value in your IBS with increased frequency of diarrhoeas lately.
These diarrhoeas from dysbiosis with constipation, has lead to chronic Indigestion affecting your general health badly,from resulting malabsorptions for long periods.
