appetite loss - blood after stool
by rp1980, Mar 22, 2002 12:00AM
Hi
Can anyone help - I have had gastric flu and this has now passed but i have suddenley lost a lot of weight about 7 - 9lb, My appetite is not as great as it used to be. i Some times feel like i have to force myself to eat.
I have had a small specs of bright red blood on the tissue after a bowl movements. This has been the case for maybe a year or so but only recently have took notice of it. I also feel light headed and tired alot of the time.
Has anybody got any ideas what could be wrong? i am a little relectent to go for a check up?
Thanks
