help! pooping blood!
Okay so here's the deal. I am 18 years old and for about a month I have been having horrible right side abdomen pain and then it starting moving around my belly. Well Friday (it is now monday) I had pooped and I looked and it was covered in red blood. And the poop was really easy to come out (kind of mooshy) well I called my GI who I just seen the day before for the fist time about my stomach pain. And he said come in immediately. Well when I got there he done a rectal exam and said there is no active bleed down there and said it might be internal. He sent me for a CT scan and I don't know what he was looking for but they came in and said it was negative I could go home. Well when I got home I went to poop again and there was a little poop and more blood actually a lot of blood. More blood then poop. So I went to lay down because it made me dizzy then a couple hours later went and pooped again and this time it was just blood. Well ever dince then there is poop and blood still and I have diarrhea. I don't have a fever as I know of and I have nausea and the abdomen pain still but that seems to be getting worse. So if anyone has any advice or know what it could possibly be please let me know. I don't have a colonoscopy scheduled until the last of next month. I am still pooping blood but its not everytime now when I go poop. Please help me!

Colonoscopy will answer all questions...one thing is that dont take tension...the more you think and brood about it...the more time will it take to heal...it may be due to colitis or some small polyps...there may be other reasons too...but dont worry..many people have this kind of problem...its not life threatening..

What your doctor was looking for in the CT scan was ulcer in your stomach which is one cause of red blood in your bowel movements.
Another cause for red blood is far more harmless but should be seen by a doctor. You could have what is called an internal fissure or internal hemorrhoids. Hemorrhoids are nothing more then veins that ring your anus. Some times these veins enlarge and become hemorrhoids. When the do they some times break when you have a bowl movement. Sometimes there is a little blood and some times you only see blood when you wipe yourself.
The more bowl movements you have in a day and the closer together they are them more chance a hemorrhoid will tear. When you have diarrhea the acid will cause the hemorrhoid to open.
Rarely is this a life threatening condition. You do need to see a doctor a Gastrointestinal Specialist although you family doctor should be able to diagnose a hemorrhoid condition then send you to a specialist.
Blood in the toilet looks like more than it is as the water in the toilet makes it look more. If you are worried then go to an ER or a walk in clinic if you can;t get an appointment with your family doctor for today or tomorrow.

Please head to an emergency room. Tell them you're frightened and that a doctor did do a CT, examined you but the problem is still there and apparently worse. It's possible the doctor missed the real cause.
This isn't normal and you know that. If you are having abdominal pain plus nothing but blood when you poop than it's not good. The ER will figure out exactly what it is and treat you. That's your best bet and most responsible course of action.
