if blood is present in your stool visit a gi doctor asap. it could be something that needs further investigations, i don't want to scare you but any sign of abnormal bleeding needs a doctors visit without delay.

Blood shouldnt be present when you open your bowels. If you have hemaroids you may notice a spot of blood on the toilet roll, but if theres blood in the D then id go back to your gi docor as soon as you can.
I had blood when i had D for 3 weeks (thought to be ibs i had) i was told that it would be ibs if there was no blood present, i got checked for inflamation in my bowel and had to do a stool sample.

I hate going to the ER. I was having severe chest pains one time and I had to wait 3 hours to see a doctor. I was crying and sweating and by the time they saw me I was a little better. They did an EKG and xray and sent me home.
Every single time i go in it seems I have to wait a ridiculous amount of time and then they just tell me to see my doctor in the morning.
