Hi,
Thanks for posting in HCM.
I have read your description and understand your concern.
One reason why you could be experiencing constipation with the change of diet could be due to lack of enough dietary fibres.
Hence, due to constipation, you are having certain amount of mucosal injuries in the anal canal, which has resulted in passage of blood in stools.
Kindly take more of raw vegetable salads and fruits in the diet to improve your intake of dietary fibres. Also, you need to improve your intake of water and fluids regularly.
You can take stool softner laxatives in the form of Isapgol Husk powder at bedtime to get relieved from constipation, when necessary.
Hope the information provided would be helpful.
All the best.
