Do not let any doctor tell you that you are fine and take tylenol when you have blood in your stool.”
Blood in the stool is Not part of IBS, but other disorders. Seeing red – doesn’t always mean blood. There is a test that determines if it’s real blood.

There are a few theories on what causes IBS. One of those is -that it’s a Psychological disease. I obviously hold that this is the most likely reason -therefore my recommendations above.
