I also started bleedling without pain. After having a colonoscopy done I doctor found bleeding polyps in my intestine. A steady diet of fiber and daily serving of oatmeat have done wonders for me and I haven't bled in close to a year. When I initialy went to the emergency room the doctor scared me half to death saying it could be anything of 200 things but I could not rule out colon cancer. My mind was put at ease after I underwent the colonoscopy and my worst fears where put to rest.

Good luck and get to your doctor as soon as you can.
