Hi ... It would have been nice if you had mentioned if you had any problem in bowel moments after taking fenofibrate.
Fenofibrate can cause constipation that can lead to formation or exacerbation of hemorrhoids. If that is the case, you need to increase the intake of fibres in your diet and consume adequate amount of water daily.
Also, I would suggest a gastro enterologist consultation for assessing the severity and ruling out other causes for blood in stools.
Hope this helps. Thanks.
