Hello. Thanks for your query to HealthcareMagic.
I am a Gastroenterologist.

Presence of large amount of blood in stool is matter of concern as it can be due to hemorrhoid, infection or inflammatory bowel disease etc. So I'd advice to visit a Gastroenterologist for evaluation who may advice you colonoscopy examination to confirm the cause of bleeding and manage accordingly.

No specific diet is advisable till the cause of bleeding is confirmed.
