Ok, so my mom had had (mind you, i told her to get checked) shes had diarhea for about a year now...and today she pooped a whole toilete full of blood, any idea of what it might be?
Thank you.
If she has "pooped a whole toilete full of blood" then she is in a serious condition.
I know of a man who passed away within HOURS because his intestines were bleeding just like this. His family was not prepared for his death and it came as a great shock to all. Granted, he had cancer (though, in recovery, I believe) and the medication is why his intestines did this, which could be a reason why your mother is also having bowel troubles--cancer, medication, etc.
Please, don't wait, encourage her to go to the ER immediately before things worsen. If you are able to drive, please offer that assistance in case she is weak. If you have to, call a close relative and explain the situation to them, encouraging them to encourage her to seek medical assistance before it's too late and she suffers major complications (if not death).

Blood in the bowels is a symptom of cancer, and I'm sure many other serious problems. Regardless of what it is, bloody stool is NEVER a good sign. [ Melody's advice column | Ask Melody A Question ]

We're Advicenators, not doctors. Please have her go see a doctor, and next time skip asking us altogether and go get whatever it is checked out. [ Comrade's advice column | Ask Comrade A Question ]
