How Can severe Blood In Stool Be Treated?
I am experiencing mucous stool with fresh blood following a very large but normal soft amount of stool accompanied by severe cramping. Sure Indo have a hemorrhoid or two. Also have mild diverticulitis. Normally take fiber capsules. What diet should I have and any other tips.

Hello,
Most probably it will be a hemorrhoidal bleed only. However, it is better to get evaluated to rule out other possibilities like colon cancer. Consult a gastroenterologist and plan for a colonoscopy.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
Take care
