Ischemic Colitis
90% of ischemic colitis cases affect older people and could be chronic or acute. This health issue often causes a lack of blood flow from your intestine to your colon, thus resulting in the bloody stool. In addition, it can also trigger diarrhea, vomiting, and abdominal pain. Fortunately, ischemic colitis often lasts a short time and heals itself over time. In severe cases, you might need to be hospitalized and given antibiotics and intravenous fluids. [5]
