had total colectomy 20 yrs ago w/ J pouch / have had pouchitis from time to time but never any bleeding that I remember but I do remember after a pouchoscopy in 2016 Dr indicated there was some chronic minor bleeding that did not need to be addressed (never saw any in stool) / I have observed blood in my stool once a day 8 of the past 10 days - it always appears late afternoon or early evening - other 5-6 movements per day appear to be blood free / took plavix for 3 months but Dr discontinued it after 1st day of blood - well if the plavix (a blood thinner) was causing the problem I would think after stopping it 10 days ago the bleeding would have stopped by now
