I have had blood in my stool but it comes more from inflammation near
the rectum....I can tell because the blood is very red and fresh. 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.
