Hi all. Donna k here agaoin. have a question for ya all, i went to see my Gi dr last week because my tummy still not feeling well even since galbladder surgery so my Pcp wanted me to go see him again. he prdered blood work and a stool sample from 3 diff BMs. they called me today and said i have blood in stool and i have to have another colonoscopy done, on aug 29th. i had one done about 2 and a half hrs ago and all was well no poplys or anything else. what can be causing the blood. when i did the samples i did not notice or see any blood at all in there. so now of cource im worried to death again. i go on aug 25th for another endascopy to see what is going on since i have not had one since 1999. im anemic is the reason my Gi dr ordered the blood test and stool samples. What gives here?
Thanks
Donna K

Hey Donna,


Sometime the naked eye cannot see the blood in a stool.

Wren, when i had the last one done it was totally normal no polyps no infections or anything, he said we would not do another for 5 to 10 yrs..so this is strange..
