Gastrointestinal (GI) bleeding is a serious symptom that occurs within your digestive tract. Your digestive tract consists of the following organs:

esophagus
stomach
small intestine, including the duodenum
large intestine or colon
rectum
anus
GI bleeding can occur in any of these organs. If bleeding occurs in your esophagus, stomach, or initial part of the small intestine (duodenum), it’s considered upper GI bleeding. Bleeding in the lower small intestine, large intestine, rectum, or anus is called lower GI bleeding.

The amount of bleeding you experience can range from a very small amount of blood to a life-threatening hemorrhage. In some cases, there may be so little bleeding, blood can only be discovered by testing the stool.
