Hi! This is very embarrassing, but I wanted to go the bathroom before I went on the road, so I forced out a BM and right after some blood came out. I have a Dr appt this week, but is that normal or is it hemorroids? I am really scaredJen

Could be internal hemmys and straining to boot. Don't scare yourself, it happens to alot of us.Just stay calm and have a good doctor visit.

Thanks! I think I am going crazy sometimes, I started a new job and I feel I am always sick. It is getting worse as I get older. I am sooo glad I found this website, it seems like there are alot of nice people on here. I have been diagonsed with IBS about 6 years ago and I think it is just anxiety. Do you know if any medicine could help

I take Remeron and Paxil and together that really reduces my anxiety.I also highly recommend Mikes cds.http://www.ibsaudioprogram.com/

Sweetie, if the blood is fresh and very red, you can be pretty sure it's hemmorroids.Of course, you should ALWAYS check with your doctor, but I have them all the time. It's one of the many benefits of IBS-D!!
