What Causes Blood In Stool?
I have had bleeding in my stool for a couple of months now, it slows down but it sometimes looks covered, I don t have insurance due to the fact that I just got out of prison, and this has happened before about eight years ago, but eventually got cleared up...is there something that I can do

Hello dear
I understand your concern
Your symptoms could be a irritable bowel syndrome, piles, inflammatory bowel disorder, polyp in colon, ulcer in stomach, diverticulosis/diverticulitis.
I would suggests to consult the gatroenterologist and undergo endoscopy, colonoscopy, rectal examination for exact diagnosis.
Treatment will depend on the cause.
Avoid spicy food, take food like banana, rice, applesauce, curd,and toast
Drink plenty of lukewarm water, iron supplements.
Do regular exercise, avoid stress.
Hope this may help you
