What Causes Rectal Bleeding And Diarrhea Long After Treating Ischemic Colitis?
Last weekend, I had moderate to severe rectal bleeding with severe abdominal pain. Lasted for a couple hours. Bleeding stopped but still have diarrhea. My GI does not want to see me. I have a history of ischemic colitis. I was hospitalized for 4 days. (2013) I had a colonoscopy a few months ago. It was all clear. How can I stop these awful episodes from happening?

Hello,
It is a part of colitis.
Consult a gastroenterologist and get evaluated.
As of now you can laxatives like lactulose for symptomatic relief.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
