Blood

Just a quick question, hope ive put this in the right place.

I am currently bleeding from my backside, fresh red blood and i have been checked for piles an there are none. I was wondering what the heck it can be? has anyone ever had the same? My GP thinks I need the camera again any advise would be great!

Fresh blood, when not caused by piles or a fissure, is very common with/typical of ulcerative colitis but can happen with Crohns disease too. Have you got a diagnosis yet? What did the camera show the first time they had a look?
