Answer 1

When stool is hard, it is harder for it to pass out of the rectum. With anal fissures, hemmorhoids, and diverticulitis, hard stool can irritate these and cause bleeding. Was the bleeding bright red, or dark red? If it was bright red, it was more than likely from the rectum (hemmorhoids, fissures) than from the colon. Talk with your doctor about taking a stool softener daily, such as Senokot or Colace. It may help with this.

Thumbs-up for kinndee...
Sounds like a diet thing to me - you were constipated, then you ate fruits and vegetables, then you didn't eat fruits and vegetables...

Answer 3

little blood -probably a hemorrhoid large amounts of blood possibly bright red or old and smells really bad, most likely a GI bleed and you should make your way to the nearest hospital
