Go to a doctor now. They can't refuse a patient the right to service even if you can't pay. Well that's what I've always heard...But then you gotta think about John Q. Hmm

could be a bunch of things, from relatively harmless (irritated hemmorhoids, for instance) to very dangerous (bowel cancer, for instance). Best thing to do is see a doctor. Assuming money is a problem, your best bet is to explain that to the doctor or clinic and see if you can work out a deal. An emergency room visit is always there as a last resort, but be aware that (a) ER lines are very long, especially if you're not visibly bleeding or in obvious danger, and (b) unless you're visibly bleeding or in obvious danger many hospitals are leery of taking someone who has no insurance. ERs are incredibly expensive to run, so if at all possible you should work on finding a doctor who will work with you on payment plans. You might try calling social service or patient service departments at your local hospitals; even if they can't help you, they may be able to point you in a useful direction.

Passing blood in your stool is a sign that you are bleeding internally, from which organ you need to find out. What good is your money if you don't have your health, get to a doctor as it could be a number of things, the sooner the better. GL =)

It can be many things.
Are you taking lots of NSAIDS (aspirin, ibuprophen, etc)
Is it bright red?
Do you have hemmorhoids?
Is it black and tarry?
How old are you?
You need to see a physician as soom as possible. Check about clinics or even an urgent care in your area. Is there a medical school nearby with a clinic. Or go to the ER.

You should not take it lightly, go see a doctor. Figure out the payment afterwords. It potentially can be fatal. Good Luck!!!

Go to the doctor, your health is more important than your cash flow.
