Just to add to what Mammo said, when you see the GI (again), ask him for a scan to look for a growth in your intestinal tract and also for an ulcer.  He might instead want to do a colonoscopy (to look at large intestine) and and endocscope (to look in the tummy).  I think there's a strong possibility you do have hemorrhoids, they can flare up so doc might not have seen it on initial exam, and if you notice when you pass waste that it hurts and irritates the area, well, that's hemorrhoids, put cream on there.  And if you just have excess acid in your tummy from worrying, you can take Tums to reduce it.  By the way, constipation can also cause all of this, so to prevent that, you should drink plenty of water, exercise regular, and eat fiber foods like whole grains and vegies.  And PLEZ reduce number of times you get up at night, maybe for a while on weekends you could hire an evening babysitter to help you on that deal, so that you get SOME solid sleep.

Thanks for replying to me, this has been going on for over a year, but I really have no other serious issues, I don't sleep good at all at night, I have 3 kids all under 10 and I always get up like 2 or 3 times a night to check on them. There is a spot aroundthe right of my belly button, that everyday it is bothersome, but just in that spot, and my stomach burns so badly, I can't even describe. Its awful, and it churns.. I really am leaning maybe ulcerative colitis, if I even understand the symptons. I feel I have an ulcer somewhere. I dunno. I have had tons of bloodwork 3 xs within one year, and it was perfect everytime. I am not anemic either. I dunno. I am tired of worrying.

You need to get further testing done by a gastroenterologist.  It may be something simple causing the bleeding, but early detection is best in every aspect.  Don't wait on this, see a GI.
