Although most cases resolve spontaneously, bleeding from the GI tract can be scary. Most bleeding comes from hemorrhoids, diverticulum, inflammatory bowel diseases, impacted fecal matter, ulcers, angiodysplasia, polyps or cancer. Mortality and recurrence becomes more common and serious in the 8th and 9th decades of life. Always check with your primary care physician if you see blood in your stools.

Bright red blood on the toilet paper, or coating the stool indicates bleeding from the rectum or end of the colon, a lower gastro-intestinal bleed (LGIB). Blood from the ascending colon may be darker and mixed into the stool. The blood from hemorrhages higher up in the stomach or small intestines will often be digested into a tarry, black, foul smelling substance. Upper gastrointestinal bleeds (UGIB) are often caused by ulcers or tears in the esophagus. Blood in the stools that is not visible but shows up in laboratory tests is called occult blood. Dark or black color can also be from black licorice, blueberries, iron supplements, lead, and Pepto-bismol. Red stool can come from natural / artificial coloring such as red gelatin, or from beets.

Chronic bleeding from the GI tract leads to iron deficient anemia. Qualified medical help is the best way to resolve gastrointestinal bleeding. Herbs and dietary changes may be useful in chronic cases, or to prevent recurrence, with the approval of your doctor.

Traditional methods to arrest intestinal bleeding included use of astringent herbs, hemostatic herbs, vulneraries, & astringents.

STAGE OF DISEASE: 4 - TISSUE DISEASE

If you have symptoms in this category it means your imbalances have overwhelmed your body's resistance causing a full-fledged disease. Once imbalance reaches this stage it is more likely to cause acute or chronic conditions. You might be tempted to focus your attention on fighting symptoms in this category, but dismiss earlier warning signs of imbalance - i.e. symptoms in the stage 1 category. It is ideal to find and address the root causes weakening your system and remove them first. This ensures you are not adding fuel to the fire of disease. Once the root causes are removed, you can work on addressing the disease head on along with strengthening your body. This typically yields a quicker recovery and prevents recurrence. Ayurveda's preventative approach suggests you pay careful attention to every stage of disease development.
