What Causes Dizziness And Blood In Stools?
I have IBD but have not had any problems with it in well over a year. For the past several days I have had a pain in my left side which is tender to touch and frequent bowel movements which often contain bright red blood and some clots. I have also had an increase in gas. Today, when passing stools or gas I have felt light headed, almost dizzy just after. I don't remember this happening with any of my past flare ups or bouts but was not sure if it is normal for my circumstance.

HI
Well come to HCM
I really appreciate your concern, certain conditions are there and these needs to be ruled out as long as the question of blood stain stool are concern, and that is hemorrhoids, fissure and infection else this is nothing to worry because IBS can not cause such blood stain stool, hope this information may helps, take care and have a nice day.
