What Causes Blood In Stools?
My wife has been enduring some pretty drastic changes to bowel movements over the past year. We thought maybe she had ibs because when we traveled it was common for her stomach to act up. But today she had a bowel movement and there was a round ball of red poop that looked fake in the toliet. We are waiting for our health insurance to kick in but at the moment we have no coverage so we cant just drop in the hospital.
