A bloody appearance in your poop means that bleeding is present some place in your gastrointestinal tract. There are a variety of different causes of blood in the stool. A number of the possible causes are not cause for major concern, but it is still wise to talk to a GI specialist at Texas Digestive Disease Consultants if you are noticing bloody bowel movements. If your bowel movement has bright red blood in it, this usually reveals a problem lower in the gastrointestinal system, such as the rectum or anus. Darker blood present in your bowel movement typically means that the blood stems from an upper location in the digestive tract, such as the stomach, small intestine, or colon. We welcome you to request a consultation with our providers in Texas today to obtain help with identifying the cause of this problem.

Doctor Rampy listened to my concerns and I was able to get medical answers
Courteous, professional attention to my needs.
Dr. Mendelson was very helpful and explained everything that was happening with my health issues. I've had many doctors ran a bunch of tests just to tell me it is my anxiety making my stomach hurt so bad. Thankfully Dr. Mendelson is actually taking steps to help me and not just blame it on something else. I would recommend him to anyone who is having stomach troubles.
Dr Wikofsky is very informative and caring. He has checked on me several times from his Personel phone after procedures. I would recommend him highly to anyone I know. Doug Danley
Dr George was the doctor who diagnosed my stomach cancer after an upper GI scope. He was compassionate and got me set up with oncology right away. He's a very caring doctor and I trust him with my GI care as I've seen him for follow ups.
