I would first make sure that they didn't eat anything red recently. I know this sounds stupid, but a lot of times watermelon and other red food items will look like traces of blood. Another possible reason may be a hemerhoid which may produce some blood in the stool. I would tell them to check everytime they go to bathroom, and if continues see Dr.

I have had this before, and its scary, but with me, its been hemorroids to blame. There has been alot of blood, though.

ewwww this subject is gross...why did i post this...lol

 

[super slappy sam]

if actual blood comes out, i think that could be hemrhoids (my doc told me this), but if the stool is black that is bad. tell him to go to his doctor.

Blood in the stool can be from a number of causes. Most common particularly in a relatively young person is a ruptured hemorroid due to constipation. This typically is seen as bright red blood. Bleeding from anywhere in the GI tract except the colon will almost never be bright red, it will appear as dark tarry looking stools. Other causes of bright red blood in the stool are inflammatory bowel disease such as ulcerative colitis and/or crohns disease. These are usually accompanied by crampy abdominal pain and diarrhea, but not always. In older individuals you have to consider the possibility of colon cancer. If your friend was a patient of mine, then I would want to get a colonoscopy done to be certain. Hope this helps.
