Guest guest Posted October 5, 1999 Report Share Posted October 5, 1999 Dear . My wife is a registered nurse. I've (we've) had many nursing friends over the years and I've noticed that nurses are either hypocondriacs or very " stoic " with regard to illness. You should be neither, nor should you worry about " what it might be " . Get to a doctor immediately. 95% of patients presenting with GI bleeds caused by NSAIDS, have no warning symptoms. For some, the first symptom is the last they ever have! So get going!!! . Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This is caused by straining too hard and stools that are hard to pass. Having more good fats helps a lot. If it is a lot of blood see your doctor.

My husband had rectal bleeding for many years and the doctors said it was hemorrhoids. The bleeding was not a lot and he had no pain or symptoms. He had a colonoscopy and it turned out he had colon cancer in the lower area so that the bleeding was red blood and not dark. He is now taking chemo and suffering. (Does not believe in candida causes cancer) Sorry if this upsets anyone. Happiness, Ellen " -) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted February 2, 2008 Report Share Posted February 2, 2008 This is a symptom that got me to a doctor. I had small amounts of red blood and tender spots in my abdomen/colon area. My dad has had a pre-cancerous polyp removed. The doc sent me for a colonoscopy right away. In my case I had one small hemorrhoid and nothing else. The procedure was not fun but it was not so bad I would not repeat it. As I treat my yeast the tenderness and the bleeding have gone away. I have also become more regular and the stool is not so hard. I went wild on nuts a before I started Bee's program and that brought on a lot of abdominal pain and tenderness. I didn't know that the nuts were a big contributing factor to my problems. Shelby Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted February 5, 2008 Report Share Posted February 5, 2008 Hi Ellen, I am so sorry to hear your husband is suffering so much. I understand that he doesn't believe candida causes cancer, but Bee's diet is so healing, even for other things, that has he considered her diet just to help him heal, and help build his immune system?

Guest guest Posted February 6, 2008 Report Share Posted February 6, 2008 Jecca, I am hoping he will change his views on nutrition once this ordeal is over. All I can do is be a good example and hope for the best. Thanks. Happiness, Ellen " -) > > Hi Ellen, > > I am so sorry to hear your husband is suffering so much.

Guest guest Posted March 12, 2008 Report Share Posted March 12, 2008 I understand the remission but like when I was on Gleevec 800mg, I was MMR and CCR yet my platelets would be down in the 50-90's.(Low). Not sure if that is the reason but thought I might bring it up. Maybe you have a hemorrhoid either internal or external that just got irritated? I would watch it and if it is constant or anything more then a smear, I would notify the doctor. My feelings are its better to be safe then sorry. Keep us posted.
