Colonoscopy

Brief Background:

29 years of age!
Had colonoscopy 13 months ago because I had blood in the stools.
Findings were absolutely nothing, just a case of internal hemorrhoids.

However, I am now experiencing upper abdominal discomfort right in the middle of stomach.  I usually have a bowel movement once a day but it tends to be hard and when I am through I don't feel as if the bowel has been completely emptied.  Lots of white mucus in almost every bowel movement.  

Also,
I have excessive quantities of gas and belching and my stomach seems to always grumble making nosies.  The last two days I had bright red blood on the outside of the stool, on the toilet paper when I wipe, and a small amount in the toilet itself.  At times it hurts when my stools come out and I am just scared that something could have occurred in the past 13 months in my colon.

2 weeks ago I had an uper GI series done and everything was normal so if anyone could give some advice, I would appreciate it.

It sounds like you have IBS ( irritable bowel syndrome).  You should try to ingest more fiber, that would help your stool to be a little softer. And mucus in your stool is another symptoms, and also the feeling of not finishing a bowel movement. I know the feeling because i have IBS. Also your stool being to hard might cut your bowel a little and it make it bleed. If you still bleed after taking more fiber, then you should seek medical help. I hope I helped you.

IBS is a diagnosis of exclusion - meaning you've been tested for everything else and the docs can't figure out what's wrong.  The blood you're experiencing is most likely nothing more than hemorroids (hemorrhoids) - they can be present internally and you never really know until one bursts due to hard stool.  I wouldn't worry too much about that part of your systems, and as the other responder noted, slowly (and I mean SLOW!) adding fiber to your diet will help with the constipation.

Since you are now experiencing upper abdominal issues, you might want to be evaluated for gallstones or have a HIDA scan to evaluate if your gallbladder is simply not functioning correctly.  Time to head back to the doc's office at any rate.
