You might see blood mixed with stool or blood at the end of passage of stool and even dark or black stools. Bright red blood usually indicates bleeding that's low in either colon, rectum or anus. Dark red or maroon blood indicates bleeding that's higher in the colon or small intestine. Dark stools indicate that bleeding from stomach most probably an ulcer. Sometimes, you may observe loose stools mixed with streaks of blood which is seen in infections like dysentry.

I'm feeling this pain just under my left ribs that kind of feels like a cramp and it extends to my back. It's been like this for two days and hasn't gotten any better. Now there's also a tingling sensation along the base of my ribs and on the right side above my waist. What could this be?

I'm really worried because I've been dealing with stomach pain and loose motions since yesterday. The loose motions have stopped since last night, but the stomach pain is still there, and I'm experiencing a lot of gas. I tried taking Ocid 20 and Pudin Hara, but they didn't help. I even ate some dahi, but that didn't do anything either. Could you please suggest any medicine that might help with the stomach pain and stop the excessive farting?

no problem u use
