Hello, For the past week or so I have been noticing that my stomach has been upset, and I feel nauseous but hardly at all compared to a week ago. I just noticed yesterday that my lymph nodes in my groin are swollen (I also have poison ivy but I just received steroids for it). I also noticed that my stools were first yellow, stringy diarrhea, but now they look more normal. However, this whole time my toilet paper would be a mixture of yellow with a very small amount of blood and occasionally a piece of brown. I was confident that I also had an anal fissure but it went away on its own, and I had cut down on my water intake two weeks ago when college started (I have frequent urination due to stress). I apologize to other readers about how graphic this is but I just want an accurate opinion from a doctor about what I may have. Could this be simply because of my rapid decrease in water intake, or is this some sort of infection? Thanks, Nolan
