hey i know this doesn't answer your question but I think its the best thing someone can do if they deeply care about someone like your brother. I think you should pray about it, and ask god if he can help out. I know this may seem strange but God can do many great things; im not saying this will work, but its definitely worth a shot. Ill pray for your brother and get my church to lift him up in prayer too, i hope he gets better.Health Question & Answer
Blood in the stool indicates that he's bleeding on the inside, and could be a stomach ulcer. Your brother should now have an endoscopy to check his stomach.Health Question & Answer
