Hi GaGa!
I've been trying to pay attention to when I have lots of blood in my BM and when it's a tiny bit. Sometimes it seems like I have excessive blood after I've eaten a big meal, stuffed myself. Then again last weekend I ate a small piece of steak, approx 1 cup of mashed potatoes, and 1/2 cup whole kernel corn. And forget it, 15 minutes later I'm in bathroom doubled-over in pain, D pretty bad with blood, nausea, sweating, the whole nine-yards...So a "regular" portioned meal still gave me bloody BM.
Usually if I'm constipated, I can feel the tearing of my "H" and know the blood is from that.
I am trying to find a good balance in Heather's EFI diet and acacia so I'll remain more consistent with BMs.
You are certainly not alone here. The Miralax is a laxative, so I'm not sure why your dr would recommend that if you're struggling with D. Have you tried the acacia? I truly think it's helping me. I'm not up to the full dosage yet. Do you keep a food journal?
Be good to yourself..
