Brief Answer:
Fissure/ hemorroids..

Detailed Answer:
Hi,

I have gone through your medical history carefully and understood your concerns.

If the colonoscopy you ran was normal , then most probably blood you saw was due to fissure or hemorrhoids caused by constipation.

I advise to avoid constipation:
- increase water intake
- eat more fiber rich foods
- keep a good anal hygiene

Hope it was of help!
