Mucus blood after bowel movement

Hi.

i had upset stomach Friday. I had a latte, egg and toast and then cola 😂 right combination. Hour or so later I was on the toilet; horrendous stomach ache and cramps usual ibs stuff I have. I am usually constipated and after a while I go regular and sometimes get the runs if I’ve eaten or drank something that’s not agreed with me.

Saturday my stomach was tender so was left side, then I went to the bathroom and pushed as if I was gonna poop but it was just clear mucus with bits of blood streaks in it. Wasn’t a lot; but enough to scare me! I had piles not long ago so not sure if I still have it as I pushed it back up a year or so ago 🤣

im not sure if it was the after math of Friday and I’ve irritated my bowel lining or something or if it’s something I should be worried about. Should I wait to see if it happens on next bowel movement ?

I would wait and see if it keeps happening. I get blood and mucus sometimes - but I know for a fact that I have hemorrhoids and IBS and it's been happening on and off for me for years. A one off is probably not a big deal IMO. If it happens a few times then I'd go see a GP to get it checked.

It's probably piles then. Blood from higher up would be dark brown/black.
