Hi,I am Dr. Subhankar Chakraborty (Gastroenterologist). I will be looking into your question and guiding you through the process. Please write your question below.
Hello Dr. I am a 20 year old male with a family history of ulcerative colitis and crohn s disease (my mother and her brother). Recently i started to experience blood in my stool after alcohol (not much, actually very little amounts) and I am quite sure that I at one point had an anal fissure (whether or not the initial blood came from this). I suspected the horrible Crohn s, but now I m not so sure anymore, as I just noticed a kidney bean in my stool. I have not eaten any kidney beans for years. I fished it up, and pressed it, and it had some sort of membrane that came easily off, and it revealed a white/yellowish gooey substance inside, and I am now wondering - could this whole experience of mine be a simple parasite? Best regards
Hi. First of all get your stool checked . This always gives an idea of diagnosis and treatment. the only sure way is to go for colonscopy as there is a strong family history.You should refrain from alcohol. The blood can be due to fissure or any ulcer in the intestinal tract.
