Brief Answer:
Colonoscopy with DRE required.
Detailed Answer:
Hi Sir,
I understand your query and concern.
Blood in your stool has to be carefully evaluated through further examination like Total colonoscopy and per rectal digital examination/DRE.
These tests are highly required in your case due to lack of pain and profuse quantity of bleed.
Even though the stool test reflects infectious cause,its seems extremely unlikely for infection to present this way.
The medications you used are quite scientific ,but lack of response warrant further investigations.
The precise management would be based only on the test results.
Thank you.

AM I SUFFERING FROM INTERNAL HAEMORRHOIDS(PILES) OR IT IS DUE TO OTHER REASON.WOULD U SUGGEST SOME MEDICINES AND PLEASE SUGGEST ME HELPFUL FOOD AND EXERCISE.MEANWHILE I AM GOING FOR TOTAL COLONSCOPY/DRE AS SUGGESTED BY YOU.
Brief Answer:
Digital rectal examination can clear the doubts.
Detailed Answer:
Hi
There could be a possibility of internal hemorrhoids as well.
Hence i recommended digital per rectal examination. Internal piles ca be well documented over this.
You can have exercise in the form of brisk walk 20 min a day for 5 days a walk. This regime is very effective.
Diet should be in the form of semi solid food particularly at the bedtime like Oatmeal 50gm in milk.
Ispaghula husk 2 tsp at bed time is also very effective.
Consume plenty of fruits like apples and pomegranate.
Thank you.
