Really need to see gp with this. Could be bowel cancer as that can cause anemia ( causing tiredness) and blood in stool.

No one except the specialists can diagnose properly, and you need to get a proper diagnosis before you start casting around for possible causes.

It is also important to get in the system ASAP as earlier diagnosis = better outcome.

Good luck

i’m a 20 year old girl so they’re quite content just brushing me off as they obviously think i’m being dramatic. however i can confirm im not. ive had some of these symptoms for over a year now 

Low folate is a type of anemia, can be as a result of blood in stools.

That should be taken seriously.  Can be polyps, and other symptoms could relate to a completely different condition.

I think you should ask for a referral to a specialist for the bleeding, and try to tackle the symptoms one at a time rather than finding a cause for them all. ( I know this from experience)

thank you :)

Little bit of research shows that low folate can cause lots of " odd" symptoms.  Some that may relate to some of the symptoms you describe. 

The rectal bleeding, however, is not OK  if it is more than a one off. Needs investigating. 

Rectal bleeding,  as I understand it, can cause anemia in various forms ( such as low folate(, so you may have several conditions caused by  one . Go to gp with main concern ( rectal bleeding) if it is a regular occurrence.  Be calm, look to get progress with that first ( ie referral to hospital)

thank you :)

My gp said the low folate doesn’t cause anything other than the fatigue from the symptoms i described
