Stomach Pain, Cramping, Bleeding From Anus. Cause?
I had a question about sugar free redbull. I used to drink it a lot probably six 8oz cans a day for years... I don't anymore... two years ago a started getting horrable stomach pains and cramping. I laid on the floor for two hour bleeding out of my anus. When I went to the er nothing was done. When I drink it ever now and again the pain comes back after just a few gulps of it.... what could be causing this. No more bleeding but my stomach hurts and I get really hot around where my abdominal aorta is and get nausea.

Hi, Thank you for posting your question here, I will try to answer it to the best of my abilities.
I assume you are suffering from gastritis and the redbull is irritating your stomach lining even more, after all it is a carbonated drink, which makes it slightly acidic. Naturally you should stop taking redbull, and see a doctor so that he can prescribe you with some H-2 antagonists, antacids or proton pump inhibitors. The reason you bled from your anus could simply be answered by the fact that you were seriously dehydrated at that point. So increasing your water intake is also a good idea.
I hope this answered your question.
