Okay, so this post might be entirely TMI for many people, but I'm a bit scared and was wondering if I should see a doctor or stop taking phen :(

I've noticed that when I am on phen (37.5) I am not necessarily constipated...I still have constant BMs, but it seems like they are very soft, and not firm or solid - but I never feel like I am "fully relieving" myself. I always feel like there's more, but I can't get to it.
Then, if I take a couple days rest from the phen, by the 2nd or 3rd day, I'll go to the restroom...and finally feel like I am productive and got everything out. But when I go to flush and look in the toilet, there is a significant amount of blood. This happened once and I pretty much ignored it, even though it scared me. Then it happened again when I took a couple days off the Phen a second time.
I'm not in any pain..but it's pretty scary to see that in the toilet - and clearly its a side effect being caused by the phen since it's only happened twice (ever!) and both times I took a break from the pills. Also, (sorry to be gross..) the blood is loose, like free - not "in" the actual stool.

Please advise!!! Has anyone else had this problem?? I like taking the phen and haven't really noticed any other side effects, but this one is scary enough in itself.

My two cents. First, I learned not too long ago at school that caffeine, tobacco, diet pills gets your bowells moving. Sometimes, before you even ingest them. But for you to see blood, I don't think that is a good thing. So, have you thought about asking the dr or diet place that you got them about this? If you mail ordered them, try to find a dr that is not completely against phen and see what they say. i would definitely think that regardless of what anyone else thinks, you should get this question answered for you. i also felt like it wasn't all gone and that is why I started taking Dr Christophers Lower bowell and it helps clean out your colon and intestines. I love it. not to mention, when you get a sour stomache from not eating the right food, it really settles it.
