Hi,
Blood stained stool demands the great care most of the time it is due to constipation and diet could be the cause of that so first thing is have more fibre containing diet, drink more water, Isabgol powder can be tried for constipation if it is constipation that causing the bloodstained stool.
Apart from this several other causes are there like inflammatory bowel disease, infection and that needs to be ruled out with the help of imaging studies like gastroscopy, rectal examination and others and for that, you can see the Gastroenterologist.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
Take care
