Diurecric stool sample with dark blood?

Male 24. I had a recently large night out and consumed copious amounts of alcohol which resulted in me retching everything in my stomach up latter that night. Since then my appetite lessened and had head aches which I would attribute to a hang over. However tonight when I went to the toilet I seemed to have systoms similar to gastritis, being of course the diuretic stool and then the odd thing which was the blood in the bowl. It was a very dark/crimson blood. I wasn't to troubled as I had had a similar awe before and through an examination my doctor attributted it to a poor diet and advised I need to consume more fibre. After the inital case tonight I had another two incidents with the afore mentioned results.

I'm thinking that it's due to my poor diet as of late and the alcohol would of only worsened/brought it on quicker. Just seeing if anyone has had a simailar problem or any advice

I had blood in my stool too and thought it was nothing. It lasted for a month or two before I decided to see a doctor about it. He tested me for lots of things and it took about a year for him to finally figure out I had ulcerative colitis lol. I had other symptoms too, however. I don't drink but I'm guessing that drinking as much as you did where you threw up afterwards can not be good for your body lol.

No, you need to see a gastroenterologist and get evaluated.  Dark blood usually indicates an upper GI bleed.  Don't bother with your GP this is not his specialty.  Poor diet will cause constipation, but not bleeding.
