Resolved question:
Last night I took castrol oil as a laxative. It hit me about two hours later and had massive diarrhea as I expected. The last part only watery diarrhea came out as also expected (I had castrol before) but the very last episode I had the watery situation again but this time it was all blood! I feel fine, I don't have cramps or any pain nor do I feel any other symptoms. I haven't gone to the bathroom since (6 hours) but I'm very concerned, any idea what it could be ? Should I go the emergency room?? I feel fine though.

Hello,
Thank you for your query at DoctorSpring.com
I understand your concern.
How much was the bleeding? Sometimes due to constant bowel movement and cramping, there can be minor amount of colitis as a result, leading to bleeding. If it was just an isolated episode with slight bleeding, it will stop on it's own.
Please let me know how much was the bleeding, as it makes a difference. You also mentioned, you're feeling fine, so it should not be a problem.
Hope this was helpful,
Regards.
It was a massive amount. I since haven't had any epidodes since then
But I did have a bit of gas, I wiped after and still had a small bit of blood.
Yes I feel fine. No major cramping just a small discomfort but other then
That I feel healthy.
Hello,
Yes, due to constant cramping and colitis, there was bleeding.
Your next bowel movement needs to be observed now, if there is no bleeding, then it is nothing to worry about.
Please update me after you have your next BM.
Regards.
Ok thank you so much. I will let you know.
Thank You.
Wish you great health!
Regards.
can the colitis naturally go away, will the inflammation go away on its own.
Is there anything I can do in the mean time to help
Hello,
Avoid spicy food and you can take Cap. Omeprazole 20 mg twice daily for 3 days.
It won't aggravate if you take Omeprazole.
