**BM AND BLOOD**

Since October last year I've been having diarrhea and gas pains at least a few times a week. I've kept a food journal and I can't figure it out. It seemed to ease up recently out of random, but this week it started up again, but it's different because there's bright red blood. Not in my 💩 it's just in the toilet and when I wipe. I'm not on my period so it's not that. I know I should just go to the doctor, but I can't afford it. Plus I just really don't want to end up having to do the prep for a colonoscopy. I've had hemorrhoids for a month or so, but they don't really bother me as much as they used to. I use baby wipes now cause they're more gentle.

Basically since I can't get to a doctor/can't afford it right now, have any of y'all had a similar experience and what was the turn out?
