What Causes Blood In Stool?

Hi. I am 19 years old, pretty healthy, but am a drinker. I had blood in my stool about 6 times last month, and the doctor did not find any internal or external hemorrhoids, so we believe it was an anal fissure. I ve been eating healthy (good amount of fiber as well) and staying hydrated, also taking miralax every other day. There has not been blood recently, but red specks in the stool just about every day. Help?!?!
