When I eat a lot of peanuts or legumes, or lots of bread etc. this will happen. When I get back to paleo it disappears. "Bad" foods for me cause these symptoms. I am sure that I have a lot of colon inflammation and probably hyper-permeability during these times. I did go to a doctor a long time ago and had some tests but then I figured out that eating psyillium fiber every day really helped. Later on I discovered Atkins and then paleo and found the foods that I should avoid. If blood is in your stool, and the blood is dark, that means it came from further up your system and should be investigated medically. --Richard
