I have had diarrhoea for 2 days now, and the last couple of movements today have contained small amounts of blood. I do not feel sick but I get a horrible pain in my lower abdomin just before I have to go. I have recently suffered from reflux and have been on Nexium, however I have been on these for a month and don't think these are having a bearing on my diarrhoea. Should I be worried?

Hi Customer (name blocked for privacy).

It is likely caused by intestinal infection or inflammatory bowel disease. It can also be caused by hemorrhoids, tumor, colon polyps or colon cancer. you should see a doctor to have it examined as early as possible. The following website has more information.
