it could be a lot of things. hemorroid,
polyps or cancer. i don't mean to scare
you but you need to see your doctor and
tell him what is going on. more than
likely he will want you to have a
colonoscopy. this is where they put a
scope inside your colon to check things
out. simple procedure, done as an
out-patient.

I had the same problem about 2 years ago.
And this is going to sound TOTALLY insane
but I swear it's true.
I went to the doctor, he said it was
probably hemmorhoids but he sent me to a
gastroenterologist. I had a colonoscopy
and he says "well it could be colitis but
it's definately not Chron's disease, here
take this medicine" (which I forget what
that was). Well that didn't fix it. So he
took another colonoscopy and then I go in
his office and he shows me this tiny
little picture and says "you see that, I
think it's chron's disease, here take this
prednisone" Which I did, and gained like
25 pounds and it didn't fix it, so since I
assumed he had no idea what was going on I
quit going to him. After a couple of weeks
it just went away by itself, and only
seemed to start happening again on
occasion. So I started paying attention to
what I was eating/drinking around the time
that it was happening. What causes it?
Coca Cola. I know, it sounds incredibly
stupid and doesn't make sense and I think
Coke is the best soft drink in the world,
but I've tested it 4 times to make sure.
If I drink just 1 can of coke a day for
2-3 days it comes back. I haven't had a
Coke in 2 years now and I haven't had the
problem in 2 years. It doesn't happen with
any other soft drink or food, so I don't
know what the deal is.
The first thing I'd do is go see a doctor,
but also try removing things from your
diet, something different every couple of
days and see if it clears up. If you drink
a lot of coke, try that first.

Just wanted to ask a question for
curiosities sake...
Does Pepsi not cause the same problem?

Nope, not Pepsi or Dr Pepper or even Sam's
Choice Cola or anything like that. In fact
I switched from Coke to Pepsi/Dr Pepper as
my soft drinks of choice. The only thing
I've found that slightly causes it is Mr
Pibb, but I have to drink a lot of it and
even then it doesn't really cause too big
of a problem. But i've heard that Mr Pibb
is Coke and something else mixed together
but I don't know that for a fact. It's
made by coke, so I guess it's possible.

just an idea, stress can well be the cause
of this bleeding. I had the same issue and
it was all stress related. stress can be a
big impact on one's body. my friend had
lost big portions of hair on his head, all
due to stress.
If the bleeding continues for about a week
or two...then you should certainly head
over to see the doctor. now even though
this thread is well older than acouple
weeks.
...any future viewers of this thread, keep
in mind that sometimes the strangest
things can be caused by stress. Don't
automatically think it's cancer just
because you bled for two or three days...
as well, don't dwell on it. most cases are
over exaggerated.
