[QUOTE="GoingNorth, post: 313991, member: 1963"] Bright red blood and clots can be due to internal hemorrhoids or rectal fissures or tears. Bleeding from aspirin or NSAIDs is from the stomach, and is digested by the time it reaches the colon. That bleeding presents as tarry or 'coffee-grounds' stools. It is imperative that you see a doctor immediately. Try to get a sample of the blood and stool to bring with you. It's icky, but you can do this easily by wearing a disposeable rubber glove and turning a baggie inside out over your hand. Pick up a bit of the fecal matter, turn the baggie right side up over it, and then close the baggie. All you need then do is dispose of the glove and wash your hands. [/QUOTE]
