What should I do if my constant urge to poop and soft, bloody stools stopped after taking Lomotil and O2, but now I am only passing a light reddish liquid with no bowel movements?

Passing light reddish liquid needs careful attention. Lomotil (diphenoxylate/atropine) works by significantly slowing down your bowel movements. This slowdown can sometimes cause residual fluid, mucus, or healing blood to pool and pass as a light reddish liquid. However, to ensure the underlying cause of your bloody stools is fully resolving and that you are healing safely, please consult your doctor promptly. In the meantime, stay well-hydrated with clear fluids or oral rehydration solutions, avoid taking further doses of Lomotil without medical advice, and seek immediate care if you experience a fever, dizziness, or worsening abdominal pain.
