I bleed all the time. Alot of times with pain and sometimes with out. I am 26 years old and have had this problem since I was about 12 years old. It diffinately has gotten worse through the years and is very painful. I was just diagnosed with IBS too, but hemroids run in my family. I too am so fustrated and my husband just does not get it. Have her drink ALOT of water. For me popcorn triggers it. I love popcorn too. I bleed due to the hemroids I think and they hurt, if she has that problem hot baths are great! Have her figure out what triggers it if she can. Just be there for her. I really feel for her and hope she feels better soon! Best luck to you and her!

Bleeding from the rectum is NOT a good sign especially with pain, she must demand another colonoscopy to have a proper look!!

Hemmroids can cause bleeding, but if the tissue was soaked with blood, that doesn't sound right. I would also demand another colonoscopy.

According to the IBS symptoms -- bleeding is not on the list.
Bleeding rectally -- I think-- should always be checked out by a qualified Doctor to make sure it is not serious.
It could be hemorrhoids, a fissure or diverticular bleeding. Taking a blood thinner even asprin causes me to bleed rectally!!

Bleeding does not seem to be on the symptom list, but I have had IBS for at least 15 years...mild at first...chinese food would trigger it..ot something spicy..like a suace w/jalapeno peppers.
I now have had bleeding episodes w/IBS 4 times to date...been to the ER all 4 times..run all kinds of tests...find nothing. Went to a gastroenterologist...had a colonoscopy..found nothing...he is the only doctor that has ever told me that you can bleed from IBS. It now is onions that do it for me...terrible, terrible lower left abdomen pain...unbearable...I sweat, become dizzy, my head throbs like it's going to explode..I feel like i can't make it to the bathroom, and then nothing happenjs when I get there...it takes it's good old time...then I have exploding diarrhea...then the pain finally subsides.
I feel drained and weak...it's a horrible experinece...if the pain is really bad I then have bleeding after wards. The doctor told me that the spasms caused tremendous pressure which cause blood vessels to burst, plus I have hemmoroids too...I continue to have lower abdomen cramps then frequent trips to the bathroom..no more stool left...just clots of blood and mucus. This will contine for about 8 hours...feel drained for a few days...and have black tarry stools afterwards and mucus. I might add during the attack the smell in ungodly...will even run my hubby fromthe house.
I have not had an attack for about 5 months (knock on wood)..I eat a very bland diet...high fiber..fruits, veggies..no caffein...no salt (for my BP)..drink lots of water..eat nothing spicy...still get chinese though...everything steamed w/sauce on the side.
I would seek another opnion on the bleeding..especially if there is no attack going on and the bleeding continues for more than a day or two. Diet really is the key to IBS and stress too.
I also experience the other end of the spectrum...constipation...lower abdomen pain in front and back..that is constant for literally a week..bloating..feeling the need to go, but can't..feeling gassy, but nothing passes..then passing nothing but little rabbit pellets..once I finally go good that all passes...it keeps me awake at night...I hate it..so far none of that lately either!!
