What Causes Blood-tinged Loose Stools?

Question: Started feeling sick to my stomach, this morning. Sat on the toilet with a cold sweat and started having bowel movements first hard and then very loose. Later this afternoon I have had 2 more bowel movements , but they are just very loose and in addition there is blood with it. Still feel quesey and wiped out
Brief Answer:
HAve you ever had this before?
Detailed Answer:
Hi,
This might signal dehydration and low blood pressure feeling this dizzy and having a cold sweat. I will suggest that you monitor your blood pressure and drink much water. Also, take some rest and avoid walking long distances unless very necessary. I will also like to know if you have ever seen blood in your stools before? Is the blood present with all the reported stool passed today? Finally any abdominal pain?
Let me hear from you on the above questions. IN the interim, rest and increased fluids only are highly recommended. More insights as soon as I get back from you.
Until then, I wish you well.

A couple of months ago, somewhat the same ,but no blood and it was over in a couple of hours and I felt great. The blood was just in the last two movements and didn"t amount to more half a teaspoon with about 2 tablespoons of very watery stool.I do still feel very upset in my stomach.
