Hello, Thanks for your query.
After going through your query I came to know that you had some injury in intestine leading to internal bleeding.
It can be confirmed by endoscopy.
As per your statement you are OK. So no need to worry. It will heal gradually and will stop.
You can take vitamin B-complex and C to promote healing and iron capsules to compensate for blood loss.
Eat milk, fruits and green leafy vegetables daily.
You can discuss with your treating Doctor about it. I do hope that you have found something helpful and I will be glad to answer any further query. Take care.
