Do you have any soreness? Pain when you go (i.e. a feeling like passing glass or battery acid?). If so, you may have a fissure. They can be quite painful and sometimes tricky to manage, because they often reopen during bowel movements, especially if you are straining. Bleeding can also be caused by hemorrhoids, severe irritation, cuffitis, and more rarely pouchitis. That said, some isolated bleeding is not uncommon with the pouch. The blood vessels are close to the surface and can be easily irritated. I've had bleeding from time to time, occasionally what seemed like a fair bit, but that never really amounted to anything; it was chalked up to irritation/hemorrhoids, and it was never ongoing. However any time you have a new symptom you should report it, especially since you are still close out from takedown.
