To richiebungalow and anyone else reading this: Yes you can pass blood but the best bet is to see your GP as the bleeding can be from other causes. I think it also depends why you have the Ulcers. If H. Pylori you will need medication to get rid of that once it has been identified. See your GP for any rectal bleeding is the only advice I can give. If you need to see a Gastroenterologist you can find one on this site and ask for a referal. Choose and Book can take a long time to get an appointment and often they show no appointments and if you call the Clinic they will normally tell you they have no appointments and you may wait for 12 or so weeks, as happened to me, so it was back to GP to ask for a dirrct referal, much quicker with a direct referal to start with. (I have had Red blood cells in Urine for several tests and have been delayed 6 weeks so far in seeing a Urologist.due to that reason) You dont want that with bleeding from the rectum, good luck.
