I have been experiencing intermittent diarrhea for 3 weeks with consistent lower abdominal cramping, sometimes explosive with a drop of blood at the end. I am 65 years old, taking Immodium, GasX, sertraline, Amlodipine, clonidine, alprazolam, Ibuprofen, and Acetaminophen. I have a history of cholecystectomy. What could be causing this and what should I do?
