Right wrong or indifferent just till I can prove no bleeding I will take 1/2 pill twice per day.
Thank you for all the information and wishes.
Please note I look at the medical comments as "what worked for you only" and don't view them as medical "advice" (as required by this forum.

You just take care of yourself…

Drink your water … And be mindful like you have been.

Blood thinning medication is a serious, serious medication to be taking. This why I had my response to you in that other thread. I’ve been around the block a bit and pay attention to things.

At my last colonoscopy, I had the doctor write a note to my wife stating that my head was NOT indeed up there

Do NOT hesitate to go to ER if you have health issues or concerns.

This is advice for everyone….. not just the OP.

I know of a guy that died of a pulmonary embolism and he was complaining of pain for 2 days before he died.
He thought it was a muscle strain / back pain….
He was around 35 years old.

CT scan could have easily shown the blood clot and doctors immediately address the issue.

Had a lot of blood in stool. After a colonoscopy (had to do the prep twice because of bleeding not stopping. Colonoscopy said I had bleeding from diverticulosis and internal hemorrhoid. I take Eliquis. They could not say it was from that. There was (I thought A LOT OF BLOOD) my blood count only dropped 1.1 in 3 days so it probably was not as bad as it looked.

I have a follow up with my doc early next week. Even though I took 2 pills so far, I won't take another till I see no blood (probably tomorrow morning).

But if it bleeds again..no second/third chance. There are other options. Believe me I am being careful with food right now and am taking MiraLAX!!!

Anyone else have this happen? Looking at a Watchman implant.

Study the heck out of microbiome.

I take a 100 strain probiotic with health and longevity in mind.

You probably would benefit greatly from improvement in bacteria ratio and diversity.
