What Causes Pellet-like Stools, Abdominal Pain And Distention?

Hello, my wife has just shown me her stool: it is a clump of approximately 10 (1 inch) pellets where almost every pellet has a quantity of blood in the immediate center...

She has an extended belly, harder and more extended at the lower right side (possibly lower liver area), and infrequent pain when stomach feels more distended, otherwise not painful all of the time.

She has extreme tiredness

According to history here infective etiology has to be ruled out like colitis, appendicitis or gastroenteritis.

Your work up done as follow.

By these two report if needed antibiotic like Metronidazole can be started if needed

Avoid excess spicy foods

Drink more water
