question: I have a really bad cold, and I woke up in the middle of the night thinking I needed to have diarrhea but instead it was an over abundant about of gas and very little poo, when I went to wipe there was a little blood I didn't think much of it, but then as I got up I noticed that there was clear mucus with blood in them...should I be really concerned? Is it possible that from my cold my throat is so dry that I have swallowed some blood and now I'm passing it???
