Welcome to the gastroenterology community!  I assume you mean blood in your stool, not stool in your blood?  Are you having any constipation?

If you are having blood in your stool and it is dark in color then it is likely you are having bleeding higher up in your GI tract and I think the colonoscopy and endoscopy is a very good idea.

I had the same symptoms for 15 months, and I got finally diagnosed with parasites. Ask your GP for the scotch tape test (yes, it is for kids, but grown ups can have them, too).
