I had blood in my stool for a week. More than typical scraping blood caused by hard stool. Significant amounts probably an oz or more every time I used the toilet, typically between 2-4 times in a day. My bowel movements were soft and I had no cramping or excessive gas. Now, I have diarrhea that has been occurring for about 6 days. I go to the bathroom between 3-5 times an hour if I eat at normal intervals. In order to keep myself from using the bathroom I have limited the amount of food I eat. This helps, but each time I use the toilet it is nothing but straight diarrhea. Each interval lasts a short period of time because it is so loose. I haven't had excessive gas but occasionally I get cramping. I'm not sure why it would start with bloody stool and lead to this. There is no more blood, however, which I assumed is a good sign.
