Sudden Severe Diarrhea With Blood Discharge After Being Kicked Hard In Lower Abdomen. Is This Serious?
Just came back from ER. My 15 year old son 6' 143 lbs was kicked pretty hard in the lower abdomen during soccer game. Played on but 30 minutes later lost control of his bowels followed severe diaharra which eventually turned bloody. Cat scan did not reveal anything. They sent him home. Thoughts?

As he developed bleeding in the stools it means there is some amount of intraluminal bleeding and may not be picked up by CAT scan.
If there is no further episode of bleeding, he is pain free and no postural hypotension then there seems to be no cause for concern.
Adequate rest and soft diet will help
In case you need any further assistance, will be glad to assist you.
