“Why am I getting severe stomach pains and dark red blood in stool? ”
I’ve been getting serious stomach pains for the past week now. I have also been getting some diarrhea with dark red blood. I’ve also been noticing black patches in my stool is it blood? My stomach is really tender and it gets worse when I'm moving. I’m also on methylphenidate medication.

Blood in the stool is never normal and you need to be evaluated.
Bleeding in young adults can be from hemorrhoids, colitis (infectious or inflammatory bowel disease), Polyps, peptic ulcer disease, meckel’s diverticulum or in rare cases lesions.
Please be evaluated at your earliest convenience.
You need to go to the emergency room if you are sympathetic- bleeding is heavy, feel dizzy, have chest pain or feel short of breath.

Why are you on methyl prednisone? Diarrhea and bloody stool may be caused by colitis need stool studies.
Check with your parents or a pediatrician to find out of there is blood in the stool. If this is found, then you need to have evaluation by a GI doctor.
