Couple days ago I was sitting around and got serve stomach cramps to the point of sweat pouring down my face and throwing up went to the ER and was told stomach flu the next day at 4;22p I went to the bathroom and had pure blood stools that had a foul smell to them. Now at 11p I went again and this round bright red with blood streams floating in the toilet after words. The last ER they did cat scan with Idon and doctor preformed a finger up the bum on me and it showed blood on his finger. Tues my main doctor wants to see me ASAP should I be worried? I am 43 yrs old male
If you type in rectal bleeding to google/yahoo etc you will see sites that list diseases that can be connected to rectal bleeding. There are others too.
When you see your G.I. specialist I suggest you ask for the complaints that a colonoscopy will uncover and what additional tests can also be tried.

Thanks for your replay. I think she just wasn't sure what it could be, and defiantly wanted me to talk to my GI about it. Working on getting an appointment with a GI as soon as I can, He should be back in the office tomorrow or Friday. But who knows what the soonest appointment will be. I might have to up my insurance so I have more options for doctors. Why is it that GI’s never have any immediate appointments? It’s so frustrating.
Do you know what causes the colonoscopy might uncover???
Blood from the rectum should alsways be checked out. I suggest that unless your doctor can positively assure you that the cause is minor such as haemorrhoids, anal fissure etc, then ask for a colonoscopy which is a more comprehensive test.
