Suggest Solution For Acid Reflex And Blood In Stool

Hello, my name's Amanda, I'm 17 years old, and I have a question about my stool. I don't have much of a medical history, but here's what I know: I have acid reflux, I've been hospitalized for it twice with blood in my stool, and a bleeding ulcer that I treated and it went away. I still take Aciphex for my stomach, and take no other medications. That's the only relevant information I know. Here's my question: Why is my stool the way it is? I've had hard, pebble-like stool my entire life, ever since I was a baby. Everytime I go, it's the same. Color, size, smell, etc. What does my stool indicate?

Hello dear

Welcome to Healthcaremagic.com
I have evaluated your query thoroughly .

* Stool consistency depends upon the digestive tract concern of handling
the food ingredients .
* If it is from childhood then it is your usual physiology of the gut .

* So far as bleeding is concerned , it has to be ruled out for fissure ,
hemorrhoid or part of bleeding ulcer still remaining .

Hope this clears your query .
Regards .
