 Hi mise eire,
Sometimes there may be a small amount of bleeding associated with Diverticular Disease due to irritaion and inflammation. Increases in the amount of dietary fiber may help. Diagnostic bowel studies should be able to determine if this is the cause or if it's due to another anomaly. I would suggest that you notify your physician about the bleeding during bowel movements if you have not already done so.
Sincerely,
Rntdj
