What Causes Diarrhoea And Blood In Stool?

My name is Natalie, I m a 21 year old female, and I smoke about a pack a week. But the reason I m here is because I ve been having problems with blood in my stool and diarrhea for about 3 weeks now. I have small BMs about 3 to 4 times a day. I have no abdominal pain what so ever, even if i push on my stomach and lower stomach. I have never had anail sex. The only thing that has changed in my diet recently is that I have been going out about 3 nites a week and having 3 to 5 beers each nite. I have been under alot of stress recently with money, but who hasnt in these hard times? I have lost 30 pounds but fell off the wagon with excersize when i had a polinidal cyst removed from my tailbone about 6 months ago, then lost my dieting when I had 4 wisdom teeth removed about 4 months ago. So maybe it has to do with that... But it seems like, if my going back to my old eating habbits is causing it; it would have started giving me problems a while ago. Though I am not gaining weight. I just cant seem to get motovated again, I could stand to loose 15 more. Anyways, thats all the factors I can think of that could play in this problem. Thanks for your time. this site is acting a little funny, I ve had to retype all this about 4 times lol, so heres my e-mail address too cause i wanna make sure the next step on the site isnt being goofy today too, again thanks for your time.

Hi,

I think you should do immediately a stool culture. There is a possibility of you having a bacterial infection, possibly shigella. Meanwhile keep yourself hydrated. It is not advisable to take loperamide. Take enterogermina or yovita to reestablish the intestinal flora.

Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.

Regards,
