What Causes Blood In My Stool?
Hi! Today I just discovered I had blood in my stool. It is bright red. There was lots of blood at first but now it is a lighter shade and mucus! About 3 months ago I had a very bad case of salmonella poisoning which caused bloody stool as well! It hurt then but now it doesn't!! I've been so stressed with my fiancée totaling his car, buying a house, school and work.. I'm not sure if that could contribute to it!
