The most common bacterium linked to digestive tract infections is helicobacter pylori. Esophageal tears â Tears in the esophagus can cause blood loss that makes its way out through stool. Polyps â Abnormal benign growths in the digestive tract called polyps may bleed and cause blood in stools. Cancer â Malignant tumors in the digestive tract or colon can also cause bleeding. This is harder to diagnose as the blood in stool is usually in very little amounts and is hardly noticeable to the naked eye.
Many times, people are not aware they have colon polyps because there are no symptoms. Larger growths can bleed, causing blood in the stool. Sometimes bleeding polyps can cause fatigue and other symptoms of anemia (low levels of red blood cells). On rare occasions, a large polyp can cause diarrhea or secretion of large amounts of potassium. This can cause marked fatigue and muscle weakness.
