i know at the end of the day i should be going to a doctor, but i feel fine other than what the subject is describing. its a good amount of blood. enough to make me start a thread at least. but its bright red and drips.
its happened twice in 2 days. but my problem is i cant pin down exactly what the cause would be at least from diet. the past week has been rough.
i saw some friends over the weekend and have been drinking a decent amount. i also had chili and tobasco for 4 days straight.
the interesting one and the one that makes most sense to me thus far is: fish oil. i only started taking it two days ago. the recommended amount on the bottle. and in 2 days i shit blood.
i did a little research and it came up with uncommon serious side effects and shitting blood was one of them as a result it thinning your blood. i imagine the rest of my diet hasn't helped either but can this really be the case? can i never take fish oil? im thinking of sticking to water, chicken, and broccoli for a while just to reset my system. and im avoiding the fish oil at least until i figure out wtf is wrong with me.
i just need some kind of insight, i know Veeky Forums takes supplements all the time. has this happened to anyone?
Brayden Cox
never happened to me... try eating more fish. it should also do the job. or try fermented cod liver oil...
Austin Williams
its just kind of scary. ive never actually shit blood before.
Landon White
Blood in stool can happen once in a while. Most of the time it's nothing to worry about. It's too early to say that it's the fish oil.
Jason Russell
yeah I get that but this seemed like a shocking amount to me. and yesterday it wasn't as bad but it was soaking the paper.
Jordan Brown
The good news is that it looks bright red, but I would definitely go see a doctor
Nicholas Anderson
damn thats a lot of blood. best go to the doctor obviously... never had that experience from fish oil in all the years i've been taking it. or from drinking and chili / tabasco.
how much fibre are you getting? if you have really dry and scratchy shits you can scrape the inside of your bum which causes bleeding and can take a while to heal given that shit is always scraping by it. take a couple of teaspoons of olive oil a day to lubricate your poos, see if that helps. good luck though lad

You probs just have hemorrhoids. Or there's a pink bottle of food coloring stuck in your ass
William Anderson
Sounds like you have hemorrhoids, I had a similar case where I was popping bright red blood, went to the doctor and he examined my asshole. He told me it happens and that sometimes if they are big enough they'll get ripped by hard shit passing through.
Still had a camera shoved in my ass to check for cancer but nothing ever showed and honestly I've never had it happened again.
John Young
if the blood is bright red it is probably just anus irritations
if the blood is coffee ground like is when you should worry
fish oil can prevent clots from occuring as fast as they should so you maybe either
deficient in some form of vitamin K
or just a really shitty clotting mechanism and should avoid fishoil
