I am a 50 year old female. I have been having problems with constipation and bloating after taking strong antibotics and Prednisone, I've also had a lot difficulty breathing. My doctor thought reflux, but I do not reflux or have heartburn, I only bloat. After talking to my drugist I decided the anticotics and Prednisone had killed my good bacteria, so I startd taking probiotics once daily at bedtime. Last night I noticed bright red blood after a BM. It was not in or on the stool, it was just like a small clot to itself. I have had constipation as I said and I strain more than I probably should. This is the only time I've seen this. Do you think it's from the constipation??
(I had already had a BM earlier in the day and it was fine.)
