What does reddish cloud around stool in toilet water mean?


Has any one ever experienced what I have had now for 15 months? Blood( red liquid) slowly seeps out of stool in toilet water. My colonoscopy was ok. Dr says a small fissure, another Dr says- no because I have no pain. I have been to three Drs to try to discover what is this, where does it come from.  . FOBT is negative. Blood work is ok.
Three times have had mid abdominal pain, very severe lasting 3-4 days. No relief after BM.  but several throughout the day and evening. Which is a change for me.
. Since Dec have lost about 12 lbs.Appetite is lessening. No desire to look at or buy food in grocery store. Last couple of months have small night sweats.
I am a very healthy 67 yr old on no meds.

Please get an opinion from an oncologist, another one, if you've already seen one as one of your three doctors.

There a few other conditions that come to mind other than cancer. Have you been checked for Crohn's disease? Or hemophilia? How is your Iron?
