Rectal bleeding after eating meat..but only meat?
Question:
Answers:
There is no obvious connection here.
Possibilities include:
- Pure coincidence/happenstance.
- Constipation following a meat diet with inadequate fiber leading to straining with defecation and associated minor hemorrhoidal bleeding.
Diets rich in red meat have been associated with a higher incidence of colon cancer. But if I understood your question correctly, this happens whenever meat is ingested and not otherwise.
If it is something else and you would figure it out, please post a follow-up, as I would be curious about other plausible explanations.
All the best.
you have hemorrhoids. increase your fiber intake.
Probably because you're not getting enough fiber.
your body needs more fiber, meat is ok but you need fruit, veggies, and carbs, water, and other things to make the bowels work better or your stool is hard and dry and causes bleeding.
well actually my mom has this problem and she talked to her doctor and i guess she has to eliminate meat from her diet. i believe talking to your doctor would be the most reasonable answer
if its bright red its hemeroids if its darker like old blood you need to get your stool sampled this is a sign of cancer
You are constipated. Not eating enough fiber (fruits & veggies).
Try cutting back on meat. Drink more water & add more fruits & vegetables to your diet. I guarantee the rectal bleeding will stop.
i would say hemorroids.. but since its only after meat.. it might be an early sign of colon cancer.. sorry
If you have rectal bleeding, I believed it is best to avoid foods that have seeds, nuts or are very hard to digest or foods consisting of hard particles like pretzels, popcorn, or baked whole wheat wafers, etc. For a few weeks, until the bleeding is stopped, I ate only cooked vegetables and avoided raw veggies unless they are ground up in a blended mixture. I would avoid hard to digest foods like steaks, ribs or liver. If you eat meat, eat trout, salmon, catfish, or other broiled or grilled fish. Eat rice, mashed potatoes, cooked carrots, cooked yams, or sweet potatoes and other cooked vegetables and well cooked beans. If you need red meat, eat meat loaf or hamburgers, or chili with hamburger. Avoid hard to digest cereals, sausage, bacon, etc., and avoid popcorn as well. It is OK to eat some whole wheat bread, but avoid sesame seeds or nut breads. Don't eat the "trail mix" foods with nuts, pretzels, dried fruit, etc. Also avoid hard pretzels with salt on them or baked chips or crackers or popcorn. These former two items stuff caused me to have more rectal bleeding once, after I had completely stopped the bleeding using my recommended regimen. Avoid foods which contain a significant amount of fresh garlic or garlic powder as these thin your blood. Also avoid all blood thinners unless they are needed to prevent serious medical problems like heart attacks, strokes, clotting, etc.
do you strain? if not, maybe you need to see a doc about this.
