Bowel Changes

I have had blood when I wipe and on the outer part of my stools on and off since February.  I am a 28 year old female and in January of 2006 I had a colonoscopy which was normal.  This February 2007 I had a rectal exam done by my family doctor which he said was clear.  However I was still experiencing the bleeding, pain under left rib, and nausea so I had a CT scan done of abdomen and plevis with iodine and everything came back fine.  Is that enough testing to rule out colon cancer even though I am still bleeding and every now and then am constipated.  The only change in my lifestyle is that I had a baby 7 months ago in which I did have internal and external hemmorhoids after delivery.

colonscopy is one of the best test to diagnose cancer so that is good it came out normal. It's good all your test is normal. It could be cause your constipation try to put more fiber in your diet see if that helps your bowel movements stay away from dairy products that will make you bind up. Eat alot of fruits and veggies to loosen your stools.

Sounds like the blood could be from the hemorrhoids and the other symptoms could be gallstones or a problem w/ liver.
