Blood in your stool (dumps) usually produces a black color . If this is not the case , and the color is reddish, could it be something that you are eating that is causing the discoloration?
I had this problem. I ended up having ulcerative colitus. Its not from AS though its just something some people get. I have to take two pills three times a day for the rest of my life. Not a big deal really. I'll live.

I think Bonannon is actually talking about the water in the bowl being coloured red from the blood not just his stools and it is caused through dehydration and/or straining to defecate causing a blood vessel to burst [which will heal quickly like any other cut] or even a tiny split in the sphincter - either of these will mean that you will actually pass drops of blood into the toilet bowl which then disperse and make it look like you've passed a pint of the stuff which can be very alarming to someone who has never experienced it before!

How often were you passing blood and for how long did each episode last for although I have passed blood before it has been at least a year since the last time and then it only lasted for a day or two?
