What doctor should you see for rectal bleeding?
You need to see a primary care physician who then can refer you to a gastroenterologist or general surgeon. They may decide to do a colonoscopy. While hemorrhoids maybe all you have, it is good to rule out other problems affecting your colon. You need a colonoscopy anyway by age 50.

What are some causes of rectal bleeding?
There are numerous causes for blood in your stool, but in order to determine what is causing yours, you need to see a doctor. Blood in stool can be caused due to abnormal blood vessels, a tear in the esophagus from violent vomiting, bleeding ulcer in the stomach, cut off blood supply to the stomach, inflammation of the stomach lining, trauma or a foreign body, widened, overgrown veins, anal fissures, polyps, cancer, diverticulosis, hemorrhoids, inflammatory bowel disease, or intestinal infection.The color of the blood you see depends on the cause of the blood in stool. When the blood is maroon color or bright red, this often indicates it is coming from the intestines, rectum, or anus. If it is black or tarry, that typically indicates it is from the upper digestive tract like esophagus and stomach.More info- Blood in stool (rectal bleeding) causes, symptoms, treatment, and prevention

Bloody diarrhea and stress?
Totally TMI but.... i just had a bowl movement. It was all diarrhea and all full of blood. I used to have a problem with constipation and sometimes my rectum would bleed because of straining but this time my BM had all blood in it it looked like. I had a baby a year ago and maybe like 6 months ago i had bleeding with BMs that they thought might be hemmoriods, but I took some med and have been fine for months. My doc put me on Nexium and few months ago becuase I had acid reflus in the past. It had not been bothering me but then I had such pain a little lower than where my ribs meet, it felt like I had been punched in the stomach. Doc thought it was indigestion or the start of an ulcer, but the nexium worked until recently when I started having pain again. I've been under a great deal of stress lately. I've been planning a big party for my son's 1st bday, and I recently left my job. I was basically forced out and did not want to leave. I worked in a daycare where my kids came with me. My daughter loved it there, all her friends are there, etc. I feel bad about having to take her out, and don't know what to do about work next. Anyway, I get so anxious about the situation that I've find myself clenching my jaw throughout the day. I must do it in my sleep too because I wake up with such a sore jaw and head. Could this all be from stress? What are the signs of an ulcer? I'm only 24 and have never had any major medical problems. Am I just worrying for nothing? Thanks so much for your help and for reading all this... P.S. both my children have recently had diarrhea too and my daughter throwing up also, neither had blood with their poop.
