I was diognosed with Divericular Disease about 2 years ago, I haven't really had that much problem apart from moving my bowels about 10 times a day, but on Sunday I had 7 bowel movements and the bowl was covered in blood! On Monday the same happened so called my GP. She said I had an infection and put me on a dose of Metronidazole and Cefalexin. Tuesday evening I was passing clots so rang 111 and they suggested I go to A&E! 5 hours later I was sent home to start my antibiotics but I'm still bleeding and want to know if this has happened to anyone else? It's scary every bowel movement passing pure blood! Pls help as I've researched and can't find anything on how much is normal!

    Just to let you all know my antibiotics must be working as I have stopped bleeding! So all I need to do is wait for my colonoscopy to see if anything else is happening other than my DD! Cheers for all your help and messages X

      That's great and I am very happy for you. I'm sure your results will be fine since no one has contacted you. Always a good sign, but I would definitely contact the doctor just the same. Continue to eat healthy and take care
