Suggest Treatment For Blood In Stool

Hi I just noticed this morning in my stool was mucousy maroon coloured blood. I have been passing soft stools for a few days but I put this down to eating a 80g bag of plain popcorn thinking this may be too much roughage. I will watch it for the next few days to see if anything changes. What do you think?

Thank you for contacting HCM.

blood in the stools could be from something else than just eating popcorn.

it seems you have an altered bowel movement which could be from the altered food. waiting is not a bad idea.

if you have any fever, stomach pain or more blood in the stool or feeling dizzy, please don't wait. see some one soon.
