    If passing blood see GP your A&E as son as possible as antibiotics are need to prevent any infection in the tear in the gut lining

    Many times. Seek medical attention to make sure blood loss hasn't been too severe or causing anemia. Treatment of the flare is also needed

    No, but that is a sign you must get to a Good GI, and have it checked out, We had a friend, that wound up having an internal hemeroid {not sure my spelling is right} but it was the cause of the bleeding, and it was a relitively small sugery to remove it, but Please go Get it checked out ASAP,and if you get any Accute Pain before you go, get your self to a hospital, better safe than sorry, blood in your stool could just be hemeroids, but you needa professional to rule out anything more serious. Ho you Get the Help you need.
