been having all the common symptoms of gall bladder attack so i tried a home remedy . Olive oil/lemon juice and beet juice . Ever since i tried one dose of that 2 nights ago ive been bleeding with every bowel movement . Im thinking its just irritation that possible stones are causing otherwise everything seeems fine .

Hello Anonymous,

No, it is not common or normal to bleed when you are passing gallstones.

Eating beets, or drinking beet juice, can cause your stools to appear reddish.

But, if you are bleeding with every bowel movement, you must notify your physician. Is there bright red blood in the bowl and on the tissue when you wipe? Can you see flecks of blood in the stool?

Black,tarry stool indicates a problem in the upper gastrointestinal tract, while maroon or bright red, bloody stools indicated a problem in the lower part of the GI tract.

Hello Anonymous,

Are you still having bleeding with bowel movements?

With hemorrhoids, you will notice blood when you wipe or on the outside of the stool.

If there is a lower intestinal problem, you will notice blood mixed in the stool.
