I'm really concerned because I've been noticing blood in my stool for the past five days. I do drink alcohol daily, and I usually eat less food compared to others. Could this be a serious issue? What should I do?

Based on your symptoms, it is important to address the blood in your stool promptly. You may be experiencing gastrointestinal issues that need medical attention. I recommend taking a combination of Pantoprazole (brand name: Protonix) to reduce stomach acid and Sucralfate (brand name: Carafate) to help protect the lining of your stomach and intestines. Additionally, it is crucial to reduce or eliminate alcohol consumption and ensure you are eating a balanced diet to support your digestive health.
