Tracy, If you have blood in your stool, you need to be seen by a GI. I would insist that your GP give you a referral immediately. Without proper treatment you can find yourself in big trouble. I have ulcerative colitis and I know how serious IBD can be. If you do get in to see a GI, you will find that the same meds that treat IBD also work for AS.

Cherish your yesterdays,
Dream your tomorrows,
But live your todays.
Do the very best you can
leave the rest to God.
God Bless,
