Shitting blood

So this week I was shitting blood. When I wiped I realized, I had a lot of blood on the toilet sit. It was accompanied by some mild stomach pain, was pretty sure it was an ulcer. It went away eventually and my shits were blood free for years. About last week the blood came back. Like, a lot of blood. The water is more red than brown. I have zero pain though. I don't know what it could be but I'm a pretty healthy guy. I was looking at this site at shittingblood it provided me with some good information.
 
It's always important to get blood checked out, even if it does only turn out to be piles. As you are suspecting ulcers, though, have you had ulcers in the digestive tract in the past?
 
dont worry too much it sounds more like a polyp or rectal bleeding from hemorroids than internal bleeding. Internal bleeding would make your stool black and not bright red.
get checked by a doctor anyway
