Hi,I am Dr. Shanthi.E (General & Family Physician). I will be looking into your question and guiding you through the process. Please write your question below.
Yesterday I had severe diarrhea with bright red blood on my toilet tissue and eventually what looked like bright red bloody mucus in the toilet. At the same time I was throwing up everything I had eaten that day repeatedly. Even water was coming back up almost immediately. I have been diagnosed with diverticulitis in the past. Should I call my doctor or just wait and see if it subsides. Have had the pain I my abdomen for over 24 hours now.
