    I am a woman in my 40s with ongoing, undiagnosed stomach issues going on 7 years now. It all started with a health issue that had me consistently in bed most of the time for a month. Symptoms included extreme fatigue, headaches, constipation, nausea, vomiting. I went to a naturopath who prescribed a lot of supplements and changed my diet to increase my liver health.

    Occult Test Ordered

    Past couple of years I've had loose stool; diet is not great and lots of coffee. I've had blood engrained in pieces of my stool.. typically 1 piece out of the many in the bowl. It is fresh blood.. no pain. The clinic doctor has me doing an occult blood test from 3 separate stools. He assures me itll find blood if it is there. My question is: if I only have blood in my stool

    Intestinal pain/gas after antibiotics
