Hi,

Noted your history. Since you are taking Fibregel regularly the stools may be soft but if more than required is taken then the stools may be unnecessarily soft or loos; hence I would advise you to adjust the dosages.
As for the cramps in abdomen followed by blood stools the cause looks to be colitis and may be due to infection or so.
I would advise you the following in such a situation:
Consult your Doctor or go to ER for clinical evaluation, examination and investigations of stool and blood.
If there is any evidence of intestinal bacterial infection or amoebiasis then you would be treated accordingly.
Continue taking Buscopan when there is spasm/cramps.
Take plenty of oral fluids and electrolyte solution to avoid dehydration and electrolyte imbalance.

Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.

Regards,
Dr. T Chandrakant,
