i have had blood in stool and pain for 3 months and even went to doc. he poked around in there and didnt feel anything. said it could be a fissure. he prescribed me suppositories and told me to drink metamucil three times a day. i stopped using the suppositories after a couple days, because i heard they dont really help and they can iritate or thin the skin after a week. after the doctor visit i drank a cup of metamucil and started a diet consisting of soft things such as activia yogurt, v8 fusion juices, fish, lots of fruits and avacados with italian dressing, quino,applesauce,egg whites, brown beans,whole grain bread and lots of raw honey...the same evening i saw the doctor i had a soft dinner and caffine free tea and the next morning i pooped and it was bloody and hurt. that evening i pooped and it was softer and no blood. its been 3 days since and i poop 2-4 times a day and no blood in three days.it still hurts after pooping, but i think its trying to heal. between the metamucil three times a day and lots of water and caffine free tea and the soft diet with lots of activia,fruit,green veggies(asparagus spears,brokly with cheese...)v8 fusion juices,fish,apple sauce, bran flakes cereal with bannnannas, chicken salad, potato salad, lentil veggie soup,brown beans, baby spinage salad with olive oil based dressing... the main thing is to drink metamucil and keep soft diet so stool is soft! you might use toilet more and angel gas alot but its better than pooping blood!!sitting on your butt or standing in one spot for a while is bad too. take one hot bath a day also to help blood flow down there. if u have to sit alot then buy a donut cushion from walgreens or somewhere. they are like 20 bucks. they have a hole in the middle and relieve pressure (great for in car!) ~i hope this heals u. p.s. one hard poop restarts the healing process, so dont eat red meats or plain chicken...
