What Causes Bloody Diarrhea And Abdominal Bloating?
Having loose stools with bright red blood for quite some time. doctor took me off Eliquis (after three or four years) started me on Coumadin for few days and still having gas, loose stool fringed with bright red blood. Off Coumadin replaced with baby aspirin. Same! tried week of steroid suppositories. Very little change. did blood work but no report from doctor if anything was significant. Ready to find new doctor.
piles or hemorrhoids in rectal area could be painless bacterial or parasitic infection of gut could also cause bloating any bleeding lower intestinal blood vessel like in varies or ulcers diseases like irritable bowel syndrome Ulcerstive Colitis or chrons disease but these usually have abdominal pain in addition to bloating and bloody diarrhea
Elixis Coumadin and Aspirin all could have increased your risk to bleed
so it's good to be under the supervision of a physician to be monitored for further abnormal bleeds while ruling out the cause and tapering the drug dose to prevent any risk of blood clots in condition which blood thinners are being given to you.
do not take any medication that can aggravate your bleeding risk like NSAIDs follow a diet gentle on stomach and prevents bloating
