I am experiencing some blood on my stool, it seems to happen when taking Flagyli, does anyone know what might cause this? Should I get a medical checkup?
Thanks

Malcom... this is worrisome,
Malcom... this is worrisome, I know. About a month ago I found an article and am trying to locate it... the type/color of blood in your stool can determine where it is coming from (possible hemorroid, large intestine, small intestine) I am trying to find the link as it was very informative. Not a doc, but could you possibly have an internal hemorroid or could it be the CPNi being kicked out of your gut?? Do you have pain or discomfort? I would probably get it checked out with a gastro just to ease the mind.....
I have been experiencing gut/colon problems as well... when I had a colonoscopy in March the gastro said I had a "strange area that appeared to be (or have been? he never clarified or wanted to treat) of infection" in the splenic flexure area. I believe it's the CPN, as there is nothing else to explain it!
Be well,

Malcolm, take note of Jeanneroz: its far better to be safe than sorry. However, the brighter red the colour of the blood the less likely it is to be caused by something nasty............Sarah
