Call a dr, dear. If she doesn't have hemorroids, she may be bleeding from the gastrointestinal tract. My aunt had cystic fibrosis so I know it effects the digestion and intestines not just the lungs. Good luck.

Cystic fibrosis is serious, all I know about it from what I studied at school is that the lungs dont produce a protein so the they fill with mucus that needs to be cleaned out once in a while. Ive never heard anything about blood in the stool, it may be an irrelated disease. If it were my daughter id just take her to the hospital right away. I hope your daughter well. Take care

Having lived in the same home with someone that had CF, I would think you would be better off asking this question to a qualified person rather then asking in Yahoo Answer. Or you could even check out the CF website.

Why are you asking a med question this serious on Yahoo? Get her to an ER before her GI Bleed leaves her with irreparable damage beyond CF.

Don't waste your time when you have any medical question but you must contact the doctor at once ..
